We have been doing our best to keep you up to date on the retro sci-fi black comedy film being developed by Finland’s Energia Productions entitled, IRON SKY. The film thankfully got picked up at the Cannes International Film Festival, is currently in production, and according to director, Timo Vuorensola is half-done.

Now, the makers of Iron Sky are giving everyone the opportunity to watch the first five minutes of the film, from idea through script, storyboards and animatics to the finished film for as little as 1 euro (about $1.50). Check out the press release below for all the details!

Iron Sky Sneak Peek – Read the First Five Minutes of the Script!

The makers of Iron Sky, the sci-fi black comedy about Nazis from the Dark Side of the Moon, celebrated the beginning of the primary photography by releasing a new service called Iron Sky Sneak Peek: http://www.ironsky.net/sneakpeek/ In Iron Sky Sneak Peek the community can follow how the first five minutes of the film are born, starting from the idea and going through script, storyboards and animatics to the finished film – and the community gets to see the beginning of Iron Sky before the film is officially published.

This month the Iron Sky Sneak Peek was updated with new content: the beginning of the actual shooting script of the film.

It costs one euro to join Iron Sky Sneak Peek, but those interested in the film can pay more and support the film. Crowdfunding is still a very important part of Iron Sky financing. The revenue from Iron Sky Sneak Peek has helped the filmmakers in very concrete ways, for example in the major panic scene with explosion in downtown Frankfurt.

Originally the scene would have been considerably smaller, with less people on the streets. Even though the filmmakers got a great number of volunteer extras, there were still financial considerations: the extras needed a warm place to stay, they needed proper meals, and the location required additional crew members to organize all the people. This all was funded with money from Iron Sky Sneak Peek.

The Story of Iron Sky

Towards the end of World War II the staff of SS officer Hans Kammler made a significant breakthrough in anti-gravity. From a secret base built in the Antarctic, the first Nazi spaceships were launched in late ‘45 to found the military base Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun) on the dark side of the Moon. This base was to build a powerful invasion fleet and return to take over the Earth once the time was right.

Now it’s 2018, the Nazi invasion is on its way and the world is goose-stepping towards its doom.

Iron Sky is being directed by Timo Vuorensola and the screenplay is written by the acclaimed sci-fi writers, Johanna Sinisalo and Michael Kalesniko.
