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.

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.

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.
