Closing Note

Wonderful taglines! We'll be seeing these in the future in our marketing!

Description

We're looking for a short tagline for Iron Sky. As you know, our Pitch is: "In 1945 the Nazis went to the Moon. In 2018 they are coming back!", but that's a bit too long for tagline. Taglines are usually something shorter, like:

"The Future Begins" (Star Trek)

or

"The End Begins" (Terminator Salvation)

or

"Big Cops. Small Town. Moderate Violence. " (Hot Fuzz)

Etc.

So, I'd like to ask for suggestions for a short tagline for Iron Sky - something to do with the fact that we have Nazis on the Far Side of the Moon, and they're coming back all guns blazing. Here's a small stash of cool words that could serve as an inspiration:

- "Dark Side"

- "Far Side"

- "Fourth Reich"

- "Blitzkrieg"

etc.

The task is: give us your Shot on the Iron Sky tagline. It shouldn't be longer than 4-6 words, preferably one sentence. Something that kicks ass HARD.

(This is an open-ended task, since we might need different taglines as we move forward with the production, so no deadline set!)

I think I finally found a perfect one...

It's Time to get Moonstruck!

This pun hints to the lunacy of the Lunar nazis and the film as a whole, as well as to Meteorkrieg but without spoiling too much.

Hehee, groooooooooooovy

Timo-Heikki Mäkelä November 24, 2009 13:25 Flag

Yup, that's cool because it's shorter. Being short makes it very striking, but but perhaps it's even too short. I had that in mind, but thought it might be pointing too much to the audience instead of the world depicted.

I'd call it a matter of taste between those two, and I'm not telling my longer line is necessarily better.

Jani Salomaa November 24, 2009 12:56 Flag

"Get Moonstruck" would be cool.

Forget Blitzkrieg...

Forget Blitzkrieg! It's so WW II...
Lunar Nazis hit harder than Blitzkrieg!

Full Moon of the Nazis is rising... (This would be a hilarious pun pointing to their buttocks!)

Welcome to WAM, Rob!

Good first try, but i think that one's been posted already...

How would the Americans react if Moon Nazis were to attack? What would be the first headlines (with a humoric spin)?

I'll never forget The Onion's historic 1969 headline: "HOLY SHIT! Man Walks on Fucking Moon!". That's reference enough, i think...

Kris S. November 20, 2009 23:48 Flag

Yeah, I suggested that too a long while ago, the shot's buried quite deeply now though. :)

As long as the poster shows that it's the Nazis, then it's enough to just say "they're back" because everyone knows who they are.

More adapted ...

Instead of Blitzkrieg, wouldn't Meteorkrieg be cool as a tagline? :)

Well... yes. :)

Adryan Linden November 18, 2009 20:40 Flag

Are they attacking with meteorites? :)

Kris S. November 16, 2009 20:52 Flag

It's giving away their method for attacking the earth.

Adryan Linden November 16, 2009 20:31 Flag

But doesn't all already know that the Nazis are coming back, so how exactly does it giving away the plot? :)

Kris S. November 16, 2009 20:26 Flag

Well, it would tell the audience exactly what the Nazis are going to do.

Adryan Linden November 16, 2009 20:26 Flag

How exactly do you think? :)

Kris S. November 16, 2009 20:06 Flag

It's good, but that might give away part of the plot though...

This is perfect. I love it.

Perhaps in smaller font size, another line could say ...
"The 4th Reich will fight for revenge"
or another good secondary tagline?

Justin Wells May 28, 2009 12:24 Flag

By far the best tag line.

Oliver Savory May 26, 2009 10:56 Flag

Slogan's pretty good, but why do you need to change it to evil? Surely the tagline works better if it's "The Eagle has Landed"?

Jani Salomaa May 22, 2009 13:19 Flag

Aaaaand we have a winner! The slogan is pure gold.

But the poster should be clearer that it's about the moon and the nazis - It has to be instantly understandable for someone who has never before heard of Iron Sky and doesn't know the premise of the movie.

The easiest and laziest way of doing this would be to put a swastika at the eagle's chest and make the moon clearer and brighter (less like a ball of iron).

BTW - I so wish one could add media to comments. I could photoshop some crude poster suggestions in minutes, but now i'd have to add a completely new shot...

Timo Vuorensola May 22, 2009 11:28 Flag

Nice, man!

Richard Caldwell May 22, 2009 10:37 Flag

Remember what kicked off WW2?

"SEIT 2018 WIRD ZURÜCKGESCHOSSEN!"

"von jetzt ab wird Bombe mit Bombe vergolten!"

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polenfeldzug
"Polen hat heute nacht zum erstenmal auf unserem eigenen Territorium auch mit bereits regulären Soldaten geschossen. Seit 5.45 Uhr wird jetzt zurückgeschossen! Und von jetzt ab wird Bombe mit Bombe vergolten!"
-Hitler, speech of the Polenfeldzug, 1. Sep. 1939

The Nazis assumed that Poland belonged to Germany, so when they were attacked by defending Polish forces whilst conducting military excercises in 'East Bohemia', they took that as an excuse to widen the scope of their 'excercise' to include the occupation of the rest of Poland.
I've also heard that some Nazis may have dressed up as Polish soldiers, and fired on Germans.

"Today Poland shot at us on our own territory, with regular soldiers. Since 5:45 o'clock the fire is being returned! And from now on bomb will be repayed with bomb!"

"I've also heard that some Nazis may have dressed up as Polish soldiers, and fired on Germans."

Finns can tell you something similar about what Stalin did during WW2...

I like the term "Blitzkrieg at Warp Speed". It's underline the whole film in a not too serious way.

Seppo Hiltunen November 10, 2009 07:04 Flag

Full Moon, Full Invasion

That is a good one. Thumb up. I liked especially the third one too "Nazis. On. The. Friggin. Moon." (almost heard narrator voice in my head pronouncing those...) Thumb up.

Don't worry Barny, I had to look it up to make sure. They seem to have almost identically-shot adverts. :)
