Geek Syndicate
INTERVIEW - Iron Sky Director Timo Vuorensola
for our earlier film Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning, and after yet another shooting day we were sitting in a sauna and a friend of ours, our community manager Jarmo Puskala, told us that we should do this film. We thought it’s a fun idea, but didn’t think of it more than that at the moment. Later on, after Star Wreck was released and became a massive hit all over the Internet, we started to think if we should actually do another film. The idea of Iron Sky came back, and we realized we should just go for it and stop worrying. HessenInvestFilm in Germany, Screen Queensland in Australia, Eurimages and Media in EU, Nordisk Film & TV Fond in Scandinavia, our world sales by Stealth Media and presales from Buena Vista and others, but then we hit the wall, we needed 7.5 and we only had 4. So we turned to our community and asked people to invest to the film. We created this option for people to invest, starting from 1000 € and going all the way up as much as you want (I think the biggest investment was 60000€), and for the investment they got shares of the film, so that when the film makes money, also they make money.
What happens when the occupants of a Secret Nazi MoonBase decide to return to the mother-planet in 2018? forthcoming movie Iron Sky holds the answe, and Geek Syndicate caught up with director Timo Vuorensola for a quick chat. GS: Give us your elevator pitch for Iron sky and why should people watch this film? TV: Iron Sky is a science fiction comedy about Nazis from the Dark Side of the Moon, and it’s the most fun you can have in a movie theater for two hours with your pants on. GS: Where did the idea for Iron Sky come from? TV: It’s quite a well known conspiracy theory that’s been going on around the world ever since the end of the second world war, and we thought it would be interesting to do a film about it. It became actual and real in somewhere during 2005 when we were preparing
