Well done, Dario!

The Yahoo China had this title for Iron Sky: ????

(BTW tried looking for Iron Sky on Japanese domain names, but it was all just feeds of the YouTube and Daily Motion videos from Europe.)

How did you find out the Chinese translated name?

Yeah, nice to see! :) Thumbs up!

Great stuff! Thanks for writing about Wreckamovie productions, always good to get the message out:-)

as well as running a blog group...

Well, it is not a secret, I mentioned it already at 2pi shootings, but perhaps you were not around.

There is now a WAM production for the second teaser. Join the fun!!
http://www.wreckamovie.com/rustsky

Indeed, I am sure a lot of people would love to help! :D

But then again, keeping it secret has the advantage of surprising everybody when it comes out...

You sly fox Kari, why did you keep it secret that you'd done the Rust Sky teaser? It's probably the best "remix" of all... :)

You could set up your parody as a production on here, I'm sure we'd love to help with it.

Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh!!! *cannot wait* XD

Ok, I started to draw the storyboard ;) Soon going out for location scouting...

However, I do feel myself a bit stupid parodising myself.. and now as I have met you, the makers of Iron Sky, and know that you are great guys, I wouldn't like to mock you too much..

But, I do have some evil ideas... Get ready... to be kicked in the arse ;)

Definitely! :D

If you can get clearances for it, I would put Rust Sky on the DVD/Blu-Ray as an easter egg... :)

Jarmo, Kari did Rust Sky? As in Kari from 2pi? Wow, never knew...

And yes, would be great to see another one of those, and another lego/duplo one as well ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61dVecQKb-M ).

I was kinda waiting for an url to the actual video in this post.

Oh, YESS!!! I *SO* look forward to that! :D

Yay... :)

The editor of fantascienza.com wrote back promising to publish an article soon. Fingers crossed that more will follow! :)

Hi guys, just wanted to say that I stumbled upon a guy outside of the production that was promoting the movie on his website. He's really excited and has told everybody about it.
Cool!

It's actually very much fun doing this... my very first WAM contribution was on occasion of the teaser release. It's a lovely feeling of deja-vu...

Well, I know some German Facebook users who know alot of German speakers...

Pretty cool video article indeed! Do not speak German, but it is close enough to Dutch to understand most of it, especially when it is about Iron Sky. ;)

"The political Left and Right are busy calling each other "Nazis" (It is the Neutron Bomb of political discourse ending all reasonable discussion) so at first glance some might misunderstand and take offense. "

It's not just Americans, that seems to happen more and more in Europe as well. I've heard people use it about traffic wardens when they get a parking ticket... it's just devaluing the word.

And yeah, very few people seem interested in actually discussing things, they are keener on demonising each other, and see any real exchange of ideas as treachery.

That's why I'm hopeful that the current Liberal-Conservative coalition in the UK could actually be quite a good thing... Time will tell.

@Kris "They're not still fighting WW2?"

Thankfully not, however...

The political Left and Right are busy calling each other "Nazis" (It is the Neutron Bomb of political discourse ending all reasonable discussion) so at first glance some might misunderstand and take offense.

On the other hand, Comic Con can be pretty feel wheeling and inside the hall almost anything goes. The Waffen-SS Space Shock Troops would make an impression no doubt about it, but they would also be competing with legions of armored Clone Troopers, Halo Spartans, Space Marines and sundry other military forces.

@Jarmo -- Indeed, finding the right actor would be a challenge, particularly that week in San Diego. Of course it could also be quite effective. Imagine one two Paperboys yelling out, "Extra! Extra! Read all about it -- Nazis found on Moon!" It could be very funny.

Cool shot and follow-up David!

"Given the current climate in the US, the uniforms might be misunderstood."

WTF...? They're not still fighting WW2?

If you have "Agents" with passes to get in (fans who were lucky enough to obtain their tickets before the event sold out) you could give them items to pass out inside the halls and to fans waiting in line for the various events.

Outside the convention center your Agents (wearing IS T-shirts) can pass out flyers, posters, and gack at the pedestrian crossing points. These are crowded areas with many people passing out flyers etc.

The hotels and restaurants near the center are also thronged by attendees, another place your Agents could pass out items.

Putting up posters is more difficult. The city is pretty strict about that. You could do it and probably get away with it, but the city of San Diego might not be too happy with you. Likewise, you might approach a restaurant to allow you to put up a poster of banner at their outdoor patio where it would be seen by many, however the establishment will probably want some payment for that and no doubt many companies approach them with the same request.

Upstairs in the convention center's registration area,(The Sail Area) there are tables set up on which various companies put stacks of posters, post cards and flyers for pick up by attendees filing out of that area. Almost everyone passes this point and many stop to pick up good looking posters. Iron Sky's poster looks great and would be much sought after (or so I think).

If your Agents wore IS T-shirts and hats that would certainly attract attention. Wearing SS uniforms would be a trickier proposition. Given the current climate in the US, the uniforms might be misunderstood. Inside the Hall would be less of a problem but outside...

One handout might be a "newspaper" with headlines creaming out that scientists (or NASA or astronomers) have found evidence of Nazis on the Moon. Or that some crank in the desert has been intercepting radio messages from the 1st SS Areo-Panzer Division, but the government has rejected his evidence as just so much nonsense.

Pins, like unit crests, are a much sought after item at Comic Con. Attendees like to collect them and put then on their badge lanyard. A couple of good looking designs (1st SS Areo-Panzer Div, Allied Space Defense Command, etc.) could be big hits.

The fact that you will be inside on several panels is great -- perhaps you can "sneak in" an assistant or two who can work the halls at your panel passing out items.

Hat wise, it seems to me that a standard baseball cap looks good, but an M43 pattern cap would be far more distinctive and closer to the look and feel of the film itself. Agents in IS shirts wearing M43 caps would really standout, even in a sea of costumed insanity that is Comic Con.

"So any cool ideas for going the guerrilla route?"

Nazi astronauts handing out flyers and/or DVDs at the entrance?

Sounds like a good idea that's well-suited to Iron Sky.
