"Let's make Earth great again!" Vertical Entertainment has released a new official Us trailer and a poster for the long-awaited, delayed-for-years sci-fi sequel Iron Sky: The Coming Race, which has been in the works since 2014. This film was released in Europe earlier in the year, and we posted two trailers back then for its initial debut. It's now opening in the Us in July, for those who still want to catch up with it. The plot is just as absurd as the first Iron Sky - the Nazis are back after lying dormant in a secret base on the Moon, now they're attacking with an army of ancient shapeshifting reptilians riding dinosaurs. Madness. Starring Julia Dietze, Götz Otto, Christopher Kirby, Tilo Brückner, Peta Sergeant, Stephanie Paul, and Udo Kier. This is one of those films that you know is going to be terrible, but you also just have to see it for yourself.

Stars: Lara Rossi, Vladimir Burlakov, Kit Dale, Tom Green, Julia Dietze, Edward Judge, Martin Swabey, Emilt Atack, Udo Kier, John Flanders, Stephanie Paul, James Quinn | Written by Timo Vuorensola, Dalan Musson | Directed by Timo Vuorensola

Iron Sky: The Coming Race is the long-anticipated and multi delayed eight-year follow up to its original predecessor released in 2011. Once again directed by Timo Vuorensola, Iron Sky: The Coming Race follows a group of space Nazis as they try and survive on the lunar base after a nuclear war has devastated earth, but with another distinct twist we’re now introduced to the Vril, who have been living inside the hollow earth since the dawn of time for chaos and absurdity to ensue.

Iron Sky: The Coming Race is one of those typical sequels in which it fails to find a balance of evolution and originality. It drastically changes shape to create a new distinctive layer,...

"We both know the truth - the Moon is not going to be here for long." The fight isn't over yet... A brand new trailer has debuted for the long-awaited, delayed-for-years sci-fi sequel Iron Sky: The Coming Race, which has been in the works since 2014. We ran a teaser trailer for this way back in 2014, but they've been struggling to get it finished for the last five years. Now it's done and ready to go - The Coming Race will be released in Europe over the next few months, but still no Us release set yet. The plot is just as absurd as the first Iron Sky - the Nazis are back after lying dormant in a secret base on the Moon, now they're attacking with an army of ancient shapeshifting reptilians riding dinosaurs.

Hitler is on a dinosaur in the first trailer for Iron Sky 2…

The first Iron Sky movie arrived in 2012, off the back of a six year development period. It was fuelled heavily by fandom, with the makers of the film working closely with its potential audience through the making of the movie. Eventually, it reached the finish line, although its UK release spluttered, off the back of the decision to give it just one day in British cinemas. It took a fan backlash to do something about that.

Still, it’s a movie firmly classed as a cult one, with reviews not on the happy side generally. But still, it did enough business to warrant a sequel. Which is what brings us all together today.

Iron Sky: The Coming Race has been in the works officially since 2013, and this time, the movie has been crowdfunded too. Its...

Iron Sky: The Coming Race has been in development for years! The first two trailers were released back in 2014, but now we have another awesomely ridiculous trailer for you to watch and enjoy. This epic sci-fi adventure features a reptilian Hitler riding a freakin' T-Rex! In the story, he leads a shapeshifting reptilian race and their army of dinosaurs. There's also some fun-looking space battle sequences. The movie looks so over-the-top and it may end up being a bad movie, but it still looks like it's going to be a wild and strange ride! Here's the synopsis, which is completely bonkers:

Twenty years after the events of Iron Sky, the former Nazi Moonbase has become the last refuge of mankind. Earth was devastated by a nuclear war but buried deep under the wasteland lies a power that could save the last of humanity – or destroy it once and for all.

Two-month shoot saw the set catch fire and lead actor suffer injury during the final week.

Iron Sky: The Coming Race, a sequel to Nazis-on-the-Moon feature Iron Sky, has completed principal photography at Aed Studios, near Antwerp, Belgium.

The two-month shoot on the $19m Finland-Germany-Belgium co-production saw the set catch fire during a scene set in the cockpit of a spaceship and male lead Vladimir Burlakov dislocated his shoulder during a stunt rehearsal in the film week of filming.

Post-production will be split between Finland and Germany. The VFX will be handled by Oscar-winning German studio Pixomondo while the score will be composed next year with Slovenian industrial band Laibach.

The financing included crowdfunding, with close to $625,000 raised through IndieGoGo by more than 7,000 fans from 75 countries.

Director Timo Vuorensola said of completing the shoot: “The feeling is unreal. I set out to do an ambitious large-scale production and managed to finally wrap what I needed - and more...

Nearly $150k raised by offering roles in the feature.

Finnish-German science fiction film Iron Sky: The Coming Race has completed its latest crowdfunding campaign, raising more than $500,000 on IndieGoGo.

More than 7,000 fans from 75 countries took part in the campaign.

“It’s amazing to see fans support us so heavily”, said producer Tero Kaukomaa. “This goes to show there’s an audience out there waiting for original science fiction films and they’re not afraid to show it.”

The main source of funds in the campaign came from the offer of extra roles, which raised nearly $150,000 of the total amount from more than 300 fans. Parts ranged from citizens of a Moonbase to being eaten by a dinosaur, costing from $200 to $5,000.

“The extra roles are a fun way to engage our audience and to offer them a unique experience,” said director Timo Vuorensola. “Filmmaking is an adventure and it is great to be able to bring our audience...

Today we have the first teaser trailer for the upcoming "Iron Sky" sequel, called "Iron Sky: The Coming Race," which brings back Udo Kier, Julia Dietze, and Stephanie Paul. Check it out below. Plot: Twenty years ago Earth was ruined in a nuclear apocalypse. What's left of humanity is trapped on the Moon - which is now falling apart as well. Mankind's only hope is to send a small team into the Center of the Earth to retrieve the mythical Holy Grail. All that stands in their way is an ancient race of reptilian humanoids and an army of dinosaurs. How hard could it be? "Iron Sky: The Coming Race" is planning to start shooting early 2015 and hopes to be in theaters by 2016. The film already raised $5 million and hopes to raise another $10 million over the next year. Trailer:...

Last week, CBS premiered the new political drama Madam Secretary, which stars Téa Leoni as Elizabeth Faulkner McCord, the U.S. Secretary of State. It's hardly a far-fetched concept, as we've seen three female secretaries of state since 1997: Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton. But it's nonetheless rare to see a fictional universe with a woman in one of the nation's top three positions of political power. (Yep, even in fake realities, politics is a man's game.) And historically speaking, Hollywood has played it as a joke more often than not. So which fictional female presidents, vice presidents...

Exclusive: Sequel will be directed by Timo Vuorensola and will see several of the original cast return.

Iron Sky producer Tero Kaukomaa has revealed further details of Iron Sky The Coming Race, the $10m sequel to the original Nazis on the moon saga.

The film will again be directed by Timo Vuorensola. Several of the original cast will be returning, among them cult star Udo Kier, Julia Dietze and Stephanie Paul.

Earlier this month the film-makers behind the project began raising equity crowdfunding for Iron Sky Universe Ltd, the company owning the Iron Sky franchise. A second sequel is being planned as is a prequel – and a special promo has already been shot.

The Iron Sky sequel is due to be shot in Babelsberg studios. A large part of the post-production will be done in Germany. The German co-producer is 27 Films Production. The producers have already received development support from the Finnish Film Foundation and Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg GmbH (Mbb...

The sequel to 2012 cult sci-fi Iron Sky has achieved its initial target of $150,000 for script and promo development on crowd-funding site IndieGoGo.

Iron Sky The Coming Race, described as a dark comedy poking fun at big-budget Hollywood sci-fi features, is due to get underway in 2015, and has Iron Sky actors Udo Kier and Stephanie Paul attached.

Iron Sky director Timo Vuorensola and the same writing team also return for the sequel, which production is hoping will be budgeted in the $15m dollar range.

“The crowd funding campaign we finished now is just the beginning – we will continue down this road, because it offers us much more freedom to develop the film exactly the way we want it to be, and to create a distribution system which makes sense to all,” said producer Tero Kaukomaa.

Taking place over 57 days, the campaign offered contributors perks ranging from thank you videos to t-shirts, action figures...

Director Timo Vuorensola's Iron Sky hits Blu-ray and DVD on Tuesday, October 2nd and we've got an exclusive featurette on the sci-fi comedy which you can watch below! In the film, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon in the last moments of World War II. During 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers. When American astronaut James Washington (Christopher Kirby) puts down his Lunar Lander a bit too close to the secret Nazi base, the Moon Führer (Udo Kier) decides the glorious moment of retaking the Earth has arrived sooner than expected. Washington claims the mission is just a publicity stunt for the President of the United States (Stephanie Paul), but what...

Every once in a while, a film is released with such a ludicrous premise that you simply have to take note and Iron Sky is such a film. It is set at the end of WWII and follows various high-ranking Nazi officials setting up a well-equipped (and very smartly polished and decked-out) base on the moon. Jump forward to 2018 where the President of the United States (Stephanie Paul), a Sarah Palin lookalike, is up for re-election and to help her campaign, has Nasa send leaves astronaut/ male model James Washington (the charismatic and amusing Christopher Kirby) Nasa to the moon for their first landing in decades (her campaign poster reads: ‘Black to Space: Yes She Can’.). This leaves Washington at the mercy of the followers of the so called ‘Fourth Reich’. The Nazi brass, including Moon Fuehrer Wolfgang Kortzfleiche (cult legend Udo Kier), and his protoge-turned-rival Klaus Adler (Gatz Otto...

Let the Meteorblitzkrieg begin!

Iron Sky is finally here! Director Timo Vuorensola’s Finnish-German-Australian science fiction comedy, six years in the making, represents a collaborative approach from conception to marketing. Iron Sky milked the Internet for all it’s worth, building up a community of artists and fans who got involved one way or another including the kicking in of much of the film’s funding (these deep-pocket collaborators are listed in the credits). In a happy ending for dreamers everywhere, the result is a genuine success story for what is, after all, a small movie with a tighter-than-tight budget. But while the budget was necessarily low, the filmmaker’s ambition is unmistakably high and Iron Sky looks like a film that cost many many times its actual budget. If you enjoy your sci-fi with some satire and count Brazil, Dr. Strangelove, and Mars Attacks among your faves, do not...

It’s Inglourious Basterds meets Spaceballs as the Reich strikes back in the epic sci-fi/horror comedy Iron Sky. We now have the Blu-ray/DVD release date and full specs for this worldwide box office phenomenon from Entertainment One.

Iron Sky is directed by Timo Vuorensola and stars Julia Dietze, Götz Otto, Peta Sergeant, Udo Kier, and Kym Jackson. Look for it on home video on October 2nd.

We've seen about four trailers for the sci-fi moon Nazi invasion film Iron Sky. This movie sounded really cool at first, I loved the initial concept, and liked the first couple of teaser trailers. I'm not sure if the comedy aspect they've thrown into it will work. I hoped the film would have more of a serious tone, like what we saw in the first couple of teaser trailers. There are movie situations like this where serious is funnier than comedy. I hope the movie turns out to be good though! I'm rooting for it.

Iron Sky

Directed by Timo Vuorensola

Written by Johanna Sinisalo and Michael Kalesniko

Finland/Germany/Australia, 2012

When you hear “Space Nazis,” certain episodes of Star Trek come into mind. A popular theme in works of science fiction, it is a phrase coined with the idea of Nazis settling on the Moon after their defeat in World War II, not to mention it being a popular conspiracy theory.

Iron Sky is the latest reimagining of this theory.

The film is set in 2018. James Washington (Christopher Kirkby), a black male model, is sent to the Moon in a bid to help the President (Stephanie Paul) be re-elected. He is captured by the Nazis, who have been based on the dark side of the moon since 1945, and subsequently becomes involved in their plan to invade and rule Earth.

Even before its release, Iron Sky faced controversy in the UK due to the distributor...

Iron Sky hits UK cinemas today and today only! To mark it’s release and so you can see what sort of thing to expect from the movie, Revolver have sent us this exclusive clip from the movie which may surprise you when you see it. I think I expected something rather more serious that what we have below but it looks like a sci-fi Naked Gun movie which, to be honest, can’t be bad can it?! Following it’s day in cinemas, it’ll hit DVD, Blu-ray and download sites 28th May and you can pre-order your copy here.

Iron Sky is directed by Timo Vuorensolaand stars Julia Dietze, Christopher Kirby, Götz Otto, Tilo Prückner, Peta Sergeant and Stephanie Paul.

You can see the trailer for the movie which came out over a year ago here.

Stars: Christopher Kirby, Stephanie Paul, Julia Dietze, Götz Otto, Peta Sergeant, Udo Kier | Written by Michael Kalesniko | Directed by Timo Vuorensola

Moon Nazis are coming. Yes, that’s right; Nazis from the moon will be invading select UK cinemas from Wednesday 23rd May. That is the premise, at least, of Iron Sky, a partially fan-funded space-war b-movie that is every bit as absurd as it sounds. When the initial directorial choice, Terrence Malick, dropped out of the project over “creative differences” Finnish black metal singer Timo Vuorensola stepped in to take the reins. The outcome is a film as daft and factually questionable as the previous sentence, but enjoyable enough in its own silly way.

Though last summer Michael Bay theorised that the dark side of the moon concealed a gigantic transforming robot, Iron Sky reveals the far more obvious, logical truth: with their plans...

Iron Sky offers up an intriguing Nazis on the Moon concept, but can it live up to its batty premise? James finds out...

For the last few years there’s been something of a buzz building around the Finnish/German/Australian co-production, Iron Sky. Famously pitched to investors at Cannes in 2008 off the back of an impressive VFX demo reel, director Timo Vuorensola’s sci-fi comedy about Nazis on the Moon finally went into production in late 2010.

With the addition of cult movie icon Udo Kier to the cast and several strong early trailers, anticipation was high that the finished film just might deliver on its gloriously bonkers premise. Unfortunately, that doesn’t really happen and - despite its strong high concept - Iron Sky never seems entirely sure of what type of film it’s trying to be.

The plot (what there is of it) pivots around a manned...

Directed by Timo Vuorensola, the film stars Julia Dietze, Götz Otto, Chris Kirby and Udo Kier. Iron Sky had it’s world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival a month ago and last weekend it had its Us premiere at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

Iron Sky

Directed by: Timo Vuorensola

Starring: Udo Kier, Götz Otto, Stephanie Paul

Rating: Not Yet Rated

Release Date: April 4, 2012

Trailer Score: 7/10

Thoughts by Tsr: It’s happening! We’re finally getting that movie about moon Nazis we’ve always wanted! It features Udo Kier as the Moon Führer, a parody of Sarah Palin as the President of the United States, and Nazis that operate out of a swastika shaped base on the dark side of the moon. This is just like it was in my dreams!

I may be slightly overselling my excitement, but I really do think this looks fun. It’s hard to guess how well it will play as a feature-length film, but it works as a two-minute trailer designed to make me want to see it. It isn’t just the crazy premise that hooked me; moon Nazis by themselves aren’t enough. It would...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

From the moment it was first announced Iron Sky, an ambitious $10 million budgeted Finnish film part-funded by internet donations, turned heads with it’s sublimely tacky concept: Nazis in space. In director Timo Vuorensola’s alternate history, the Nazis were not totally defeated in 1945. Instead they fled into space, building a secret base on the dark side of the moon, from which they plot their eventual return to Earth with a spaceship armada as part of operation Meteor Blitzkrieg. It’s a CGI-heavy, sci-fi Earth invasion flick complete with a swastika wearing army of stormtroopers lead by an evil, leather-clad “Moonfuhrer” and stars Udo Keir!

Based on this premise I thought the film would be, at best, a one look laugh (“haha! It’s a Nazi… in space!”) which might struggle to sustain itself over an hour and half long feature. I suspected it’d be...

A moon base run by a secret, secluded group of Nazis spawned from those who fled to the dark side of that foreboding rock years ago?

The eleven films announced in the 2012 Midnighters program include a feast of titles that promise to rouse, haunt, and thrill the eager SXSW late-night audiences with an eclectic mix of thrills from genre filmmakers at the top of their game.

“Though our regular program already includes a healthy sampling of genre fare, the Midnighters section highlights those that go a bit crazier, gorier, and all-around balls out-ier,” said SXSW Senior Programmer and Operations Manager Jarod Neece. “This year's program includes both veteran names with anticipated follow-ups and fresh discoveries with new voices and charts otherworldly, insane territories that breathe new life into horror conventions.”

Iron Sky, the Finnish-German-Australian sci-fi black comedy about Nazis from the Dark Side of the Moon, has released its promo trailer online. The trailer is still work-in-progress and it was released on the film project’s Iron Sky Sneak Peek web service to give the fans a glimpse of what the live action in the film will look like, and to get comments and suggestions for finishing up the promo trailer.

“We opened Iron Sky Sneak Peek when we started shooting Iron Sky last November as both a service for fans and a crowd funding channel. A subscription costs a minimum of one euro, but those who want to support us can pay more”,
