First Footage Released for Moon Nazi Movie IRON SKY Revealed

Blind Spot Pictures and Energia Productions have released the first footage from their awesome upcoming science fiction movie Iron Sky. The film tells the untold story of how the Nazis left for the Moon in 1945 only to come back to Earth in 2018 to try and take it over again. 

I'm sorry, but this movie looks insanely awesome, and I seriously cannot wait to to see the completed product. What I want to know is what happens when the Nazi's get here! 

Here is a note from the director of the film, Timo Vuorensola.

We shot this footage mainly to make sure our workflow works as planned. The visual look and feel is one of the biggest challenges we need to overcome. Shooting this footage - which we will also use in the final film when it comes out - provided us with enough material to test out several options and pin down one. I'm hoping to find a visual combination that's unique: something that looks a bit like a comic book and a bit like concept art, but with a definite photorealistic atmosphere.

Now check out the first actual footage of Iron Sky below and tell us what ya think! Is this a movie you would go out and see, or is that a stupid question? Hope you enjoy the footage!
