I don’t think this had been brought up before, but some of the members here might have heard of a film made by a group of amateur film makers called Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning. It was made over the period of a few years by unpaid volunteers. It was basically a crazy kind of black comedy revolving around a parody Star Trek universe going to war with a parody Babylon 5 universe. It used a lot of very well done CGI and blue screen effects and the final result was actually really impressive. It went on to become the most widely seen domestic film in Finish history.

In 2006 they started work on another film with a fairly unique premise. Towards the end of the second world war the Nazi’s discovered anti-gravity technology. It couldn’t help them by this late stage, but what they were able to do is send a colonizing expedition to the dark side of the moon. Now its sixty years later and they are coming back.

The film is called Iron Sky and a trailer for it has just been released about three days ago on the films main site. http://www.ironsky.net/
