I posted a thread about this movie back in 2008, and it was too old to let me post an update. I was starting to wonder if this would ever launch.

Looks pretty trippy.

Oh.

I thought this was about Newt Gingrich.

Oh well.


Edit: This looks positively awesome, though. Total trash story. Will be following the reviews from the Berlinale.

Dudes,

thanks for taking interest in our movie. Really warms the ol' heart when people are excited about what we've done. So... thanks. Really

Indeed, the movie will premiere in less than two weeks in Berlin Film Festival, and in April, the movie will launch in several countries -- 4.4. in Finland, and 5.4. in Germany, for example.

We'll soon launch the very official theatrical launch super trailer (in addition to the linked teaser above and a collage trailer of sorts aimed for the Berlinale launch), but before you can feast your eyes on that baby, you can check out Iron Sky's home page -- we got teasers, we got concept art, we got press photos, and we'll update it all in a week, too, to show even more.

Whew. Two weeks 'til premiere. Can't believe it has finally come to this

Awesome. I've been waiting for this to be released since I saw the early teasers. Trailers

I admire your marketing approach! I just googled your name and it looks like you are tracking discussion of the movie and dropping personal notes. This is the kind of thing that's so easy, but a larger studio probably wouldn't think of, or at least bother with.

Not that you'll be checking back in this forum, but good luck with the film!

Seems like it's been forever in the making. At last it's nearly here. I can't see it getting a general UK release and it's a long trek to any cinema it's likely to be showing at so it's probably going to be an iTune buy. Can't wait.

Aw pish! Reviews of this are generally not favourable.

Example of one:

Obviously not, but low budget doesn't have to mean lack of imagination. Loos like they had a stinking great idea but not followed up with the script.

Like the review says, comedy is easier said than done. Maybe we'll all luck out and Verhoeven will pick up the rights. I wouldn't hold my breath though knowing how much the dutch like the Nazis.

I don't recall, but did Starship Troopers get favorable reviews when it was released? I enjoyed that movie quite a bit, even though I know its faults. I was kind of expecting this movie to fall into that category.

Starship Troopers got lambasted when it was released, and aside from its cult following history hasn't really looked any more kindly upon it.

I'm one of the cult though. Great movie.

Same here. I seem to find myself watching Starship Troopers whenever it happens to come on TV. Even though I've seen it more times than I can recall.

I would take reviews from the guardian with a grain of salt. It seems like some brits have lost their sense of humour. I remember fondly British comedies like Monty Python but England seems to have become a bit too PC as of late. It's kind of ironic that Germany used to be butt of jokes about being uptight concerning the "war" in Monty Python skits. Now they seem to be able to laugh at themselves and face their past with maturity. Good for them.

This film is directed by a finnish guy so it probably has some humour that some brits might find hard to understand but people living in more cosmopolitan countries like Canada and even parts of the US should enjoy.

I hope this film is released to theatres in Vancouver, BC.

Anecdotal evidence via Facebook from people who saw it at the premiere is that it does.

"It's great when armed with a bag of M&Ms" was one brief review.

I LOVE Starship Troopers.

Starship Troopers was a fantastic film. It had that same cynical undertone that was present in Robocop, though it was perhaps a little more obvious.

A review of this sort of film is not something I'd bother reading in any british "news"paper. THe Guardian is too pompous to appreciate anything that doesn't get shortlisted for a best picture award unless it has subtitles and most of the rest will just make stupid jokes about the war to rile up their idiot readers.

As "splatter space opera," verHoven's "Starship Troopers" was at least as good as it needed to be to be enjoyable. I, a Heinlein fan for decades, simply cannot forgive verHoven for buying the rights to that particular title to make a movie that was radically different from Heinlein's quite powerful treatise on personal responsibility and citizenship. Plus, why bother with something even vaguely related to Heinlein's title without powered armor? Anyway, I was already unhappy with verHoven deciding Detroit was a good place to portray as he did in "Robocop," and this just pushed me past wanting to even consider his work in the future.

Where was I...

Oh yeah! I agree that "reviews" of a movie about Nazis on the moon are a waste of everyone's time. It'll either stink or be a lot of fun, and the only way to find out is to shell out some cash and sit through it. Which, (if it gets to my market) I will do.

Either, a) welcome to the irony or b) this makes no sense. Cos us poor unicultural Brits always struggle with subtle or dry humour.
