We’re happy to share a clip with you from director Timo Vuorensola’s sci-fi comedy, Iron Sky.  Starring Udo Kier, Julia Dietze and Peta Sergeant, Iron Sky tells the story of a wing of the Nazi forces who hid out on a moon base after the fall of the Axis powers in 1945.  Bidding their time and building their army, the Moon Nazis plan to invade the Earth and establish the Fourth Reich as a new world order.  The following clip shows the awe-inspiring power of Moon Nazi technology via their devastating military strategy: the meteor blitzkrieg! Iron Sky opens stateside on July 27th. Hit the jump to check out the clip.

Just when you thought you were safe from Moon-dwelling space Nazis, Iron Sky goes and drops a new trailer on you.  The action/sci-fi/comedy film from director Timo Vuorensola centers on a group of Nazis who escaped Earth during World War II to hide out on the dark side of the moon.  After plotting their revenge and building an invasion force over the last 70 years, they’re finally ready to take back the world.  Starring Julia Dietze, Peta Sergeant, Udo Kier and Christopher Kirby, Iron Sky can invade your hometown courtesy of Tugg, the service that lets you vote for the movies you want to see.  Hit the jump to check out the new trailer.

As I said in my review from SXSW, Timo Vuorensola’s Iron Sky is a goofy delight that surprisingly manages to exceed its “Moon Nazis” premise until the flick devolves into a generic, preachy finish.  However, the film has found worldwide distribution (click here to check out a Japanese poster for the film), and Vuroensola isn’t done with the Nazis yet.  According to Twitch, Vuroensola is set to adapt Jason‘s Eisner-Award winning graphic novel I Killed Adolf Hitler.  The film takes place in a dystopian world where assassins are in high demand to take out the annoying people of the world such as loud neighbors and dysfunctional relatives.  One killer gets the unique contract to head back to 1939 and kill Hitler, but ends up getting stuck in the past while Hitler makes his way to the present.  The premise rings a little of Time After Time, and I’m interested to see what Vuroensola will do with his adaptation.

Hit the jump for a synopsis of the graphic novel.  Production on I Killed Adolf Hitler is set to begin in 2013.  Vuroensola is also planning a three-episode TV mini-series prequel to Iron Sky along with a sequel.

We’ve got a bunch of new posters for you on this fine Friday morning.  After the jump, you can find international posters for Rock of Ages, Men in Black 3, Iron Sky, Chernobyl Diaries, Ted, and domestic posters for Ted and Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted.

Early last month, a peculiar little trailer popped up on the web for a movie called Iron Sky. I had never heard of the film, but I gave the trailer a go because I read something about moon Nazis and I thought to myself, “That can’t be right.” But no, a movie about moon Nazis does, in fact, exist and now the first four minutes of the film are online for your viewing pleasure. The premise rests on the fact that the Nazis landed on the moon 70 years ago and are now primed and ready for an all-out invasion of Earth. These first four minutes all take place on the moon and center on a couple of American astronauts who have just landed and decide to take a look around. Yes, the encounter moon Nazis.

There are no half-measures when it comes to moon Nazis.  The very phrase “moon Nazi” invites laughter.  There’s no room for serious consideration, and even biting satire can be a stretch.  It’s a goofy premise ripe for B-movie fun, and Iron Sky has no problem playing the fool and being silly right up until it begins to believe that people came to a movie about moon Nazis for CGI space battles and anything resembling dramatic contemplation.  Director Timo Vuorensola forgets that when you make a movie involving moon Nazis, you must always stay true to the moon Nazis and the ridiculousness they embody.

The date is set for Iron Sky’s Moon Nazis to invade the UK and Finland on April 4^th, with Germany getting the film a day later. But those of us stateside aren’t sure when to expect our own invasion. Variety reports that Entertainment One is negotiating to acquire the North American rights. The film, by Finnish director Timo Vuorensola, is set in the year 2018 and features the Fourth Reich, a fleet of Nazi spaceships intent on invading the Earth. Starring Julia Dietze (Love in Thoughts), Christopher Kirby (The Matrix Reloaded) and Udo Kier (Blade), the film won audiences over at the Berlin Film Festival after having sold out tickets in an hour. To see what all the fuss was about, hit the jump to check out the trailer and some images from Iron Sky.

SXSW has announced their “Midnighters” line-up for this year’s film festival.  The section includes Sundance premieres V/H/S (my review) and Don Coscarelli’s John Dies at the End, plus other exciting entries like Austin Chick’s Girls Against Boys, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s Intruders, Paco Plaza’s [REC] ³ GENESIS, and Timo Vuorensola’s Iron Sky.

Hit the jump for the full Midnighters line-up.  The 2012 SXSW Film Festival runs from March 9 – 17th.

Iron Sky has one of those nutty premises I absolutely love.  The story is that Nazis landed on the moon 70 years ago and have been biding their time to launch an invasion.  They decide they’ve been waiting long enough, take to their fleet of flying saucers, and begin a full scale attack of Earth.  Not wacky enough? There’s also a Sarah Palin parody as the U.S. President, and the film takes place six years from now.  Also, the movie co-stars Udo Kier.  But in the end: moon Nazis.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer along with a press release about the film’s upcoming premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.  Iron Sky is set to hit theaters on April 4th.
