Looks like great cheesy fun. by DocPazuzu	May 7th, 2008 01:16:26 AM
I'm an old Weird War Tales fan so I automatically go for that horror/sci-fi Nazi shit. And Star Wreck was fucking hilarious, so count me in.

was this done on an indie low budget? cause if it was it looked amazing (except maybe the bird at the end) either way, how can this talkback already have haters? i mean the movie might suck, but this isnt star wars, or batman, or some other movie its okay to bitch about before its out. this is some under the radar, fun looking movie that we should all hope kicks ass.

Sky captain was great, and so is this teaser! by foreverguardian	May 7th, 2008 01:44:42 AM
I'm with you Quint. I loved Sky captain on many levels. mainly it was awesome seeing the 30s style in such a way :)
Looks swell to me by Ommadawn1959	May 7th, 2008 01:49:13 AM
But for the love of god, somebody needs to go ahead and make a live action, depression era, Max Fleischer Superman movie. Geepers.

Tasty by Mundungus	May 7th, 2008 02:05:31 AM
As far as I'm concerned, there are no better villains than Nazis, and it is the only contribution the bastards ever made to humanity. The uber-villain, preferably wearing a monocle. And sky captain was visually stunning.
You can see their first film for free. by Shan	May 7th, 2008 02:10:44 AM
The Star Wreck film is legally free for download from www.starwreck.com and it's an amazing piece of work, especially considering what few resources they had to work with compared to a movie studio.
Yay! by Lost Jarv	May 7th, 2008 02:17:44 AM
second belting bit of cheese in 2 days. It is almost like we're stepping back to the 80's
really cool by kungfuhustler84	May 7th, 2008 02:20:14 AM
I loved Sky Captain to death, but these are pretty different. I was getting kind of a pulpy sci fi vibe from the flying saucers though. Still, is this going to be a or something? that bird shit on that statue. The song sounded like a James Bond song. cool, cool news.
Meh by ChickenDelicious	May 7th, 2008 02:30:04 AM
I was very impressed until the poop joke at the end. That kind of killed something that otherwise seemed very badass.

Sky Captain was fucking awesome. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	May 7th, 2008 02:33:32 AM
Why would anyone crap on that movie?? I love that film.
Sky Captain kicked WAAAY more ass than Yoda by Boromir	May 7th, 2008 02:53:17 AM
And come on--Jolie alone was wicked-fuckin-awesome. People who crap on movies built of pure joy like Sky Captain should be forced to spend eternity in a closet with Tarantino while he cracks snarky-ass, self-referentially smug jokes with an air winking condescension.
Oh wow... by Boromir	May 7th, 2008 03:07:04 AM
I should have slipped the ol' plastic bib on before I watched that teaser. That looked like it could ROCK. The subject matter is just plain fun, and the style had me thinking about a squinting dripping summer day, and how it feels to step into the chilled darkness of a movie theater, the floor wax and the popcorn and the weave of the cloth seat against your leg where your shorts end, and wait to be carried into a brand new universe. WANT.
How could you not like the bird pooping at the end? by TerryMalloy	May 7th, 2008 03:09:31 AM
That was utterly brilliant
this could actually have a solid cult following by palewook	May 7th, 2008 03:41:30 AM

This proves that being skilled at SFX does not make you a good f by Kirbymanly	May 7th, 2008 03:45:48 AM
It's somewhat cool looking but that trailer is boring as hell. It looks like an FX reel more than a film. And...yes, Sky Captain was great. The FX was secondary to the story...which is rare these days. I loved it in the theater and I love it now.
Got cut off..." does not make you a good filmmaker" by Kirbymanly	May 7th, 2008 03:46:36 AM
damn subject line!
Kirbymanly: by Boromir	May 7th, 2008 03:57:58 AM
Just MHO of course, but I think that the idea that FX ability does nothing to make one a good (or even solid) filmmaker was pretty much accepted as a fundamental truth of the universe about 1.3 milliseconds after The Phantom Menace opened in theaters.
Pigeons pooping on Nazi symbols let's the audience know... by The Grug	May 7th, 2008 04:04:27 AM
that the filmmakers are on "our" side... completely spoils the tone of the teaser, but you always gotta let people know where you stand as far as the Nazis are concerned! Oh and Sky Captain was rubbish, it looked gorgeous, but it was rubbish; funky-looking visuals that throwback to posters of films like "Metropolis" do not a good film make - story is what matters, and at that Sky Captain failed... Hard.
Well, Grug, at least you didn't say by Boromir	May 7th, 2008 04:09:41 AM
that Sky Captain was "crap" or "shite". As long as it's just "rubbish", I only have to be careful to avoid expressing fondness for it when I'm in the company of those rabid Masterpiece Theatre fanboys. ;-)

Boromir, unlike some I still consider "hate" a strong word... by The Grug	May 7th, 2008 04:58:58 AM
Especially when it comes to talking about things as inconsequential as movies (and they are if you think about it) on an internet forum - but then this is "Talkback" and moderation's really not standard practice around here :) so feel free to love Sky Captain as much as you want, this is the internets after all - where you're free to hold any opinion you want!

Here's the dirt on Iron Sky by Rigi	May 7th, 2008 06:41:09 AM
First, holy crap, our film is on AICN. I've been a lurker here for a decade and wouldn't have tought to see this day. And then, the dirt on Iron Sky. The film is currently in pre-production, this teaser was originally made to be a demo to show for potential collaborators and financers. What we've got a really good script (self-promotion is hard for us Finns, but we really love it) and we hope to start shooting the film next year. But, the dirt is that we're not your average production company. We did Star Wreck for peanuts and had a great online community. With Iron Sky we want to do even better with the community aspect. We've got the project set up on wreckamovie.com that's our communal filmmaking site. Anyone can register and join the production. And I'd like to point out that it's free, unlike some online film projects. Those who've joined it can give their shots on task given by us filmmakers. But the point is that we're not pretending that to be a democracy or that the community writes the movie or crap like that. Sorry, that's for other productions. We have a story we love, a script we love and we know what we want to do. But there is a huge amount of ideas and wisdom in the community, not to talk about huge amount of resources. We want to hear your opinions and ideas, because if they are good then we use it. Another thing is the resources. The budget is some 4-5 million dollars, but we want to film look 10 times more expensive. Compare that to Star Wreck that cost some $17,000. That's why we will be asking people to take part in the production, to do stuff like creating future brands, advertisements, danger signs, etc. All the small stuff that makes the world alive. As well as asking for ideas and opinions on the bigger stuff. If you've got $300 million that' something you pay some bored advertising company employees to do for $200 an hour. We won't afford that and don't want to. Why the hell would we want to outsource interesting stuff like that for somebody who does it to buy a new BMW. It'll be much more fun to do it online with people who think the idea is cool and want to give a bit of their free time and see their work on screen. We don't know yet if we can put Iron Sky free on the internet, it's obious that when it's finished somebody will do that and we'd very much prefer to do it ourselves. The main point though is money, not our money, but the people who will finance the film. As well as many other things out of our control. But right now we just worry with making a really good film. If you want to see it made you can help us at wreckamovie.com. If you have any questions I'm happy to answer them.
This reminds me of Nine Inch Nails. by beastie	May 7th, 2008 06:48:51 AM
Not in spirit, but it shows that the internet is a way of distributing and building independent entertainment. Throw in some Red Vs. Blue and there is a whole new industry. I'm sure I'm making no sense as my morning upper cocktail hasn't kicked in, but I am excited for what this film company is doing and will support them.
Sounds great, but will you credit us? by Lost Jarv	May 7th, 2008 06:51:15 AM
not that it matters. And I love Mars Attacks and anyone that can't see the humour in it can, quite frankly, fuck off.

that looks interesting... by just pillow talk	May 7th, 2008 07:21:22 AM
DerLanghaarige, you must not watch many movies because the subject matter in many movies deal with unsavory characters/events, etc....Blood Diamond, The Last King of Scotland, The Black Book. This is a "what if" scenario like Dazzler said.

Is an incredible piece of work, very very funny, effects are awesome - I even bought the 2 disc special edition with even better CGI. Been tracking Iron Sky for almost a year now and I'm glad to see the teaser get some love on this site. Why don't all you haters get on the case and contribute something to this movie rather than sit there and bitch and moan and lambast a movie that you know nothing about?

Why anyone with taste would crap on Sky Capt by quantize	May 7th, 2008 08:31:19 AM
Because art direction and design do not make a good movie...how the fuck you make a film with that style and subject painfully boring is the only thing amazing about that turd.

Rigi by Shan	May 7th, 2008 08:49:06 AM
Star Wreck was outstanding. I've told a lot of people about it and tried to spread the word as much as possible. Also, I worked in a Canberra (Australia) emergency department; there was a strange period where over the month about half a dozen Finns were brought in with injuries and I told a lot of them about your film and how to find it as well.

Great idea. Bad tone with the peageon. by The Chosen	May 7th, 2008 08:52:57 AM
Hated that it has that tottaly out of "tone" place joke at the end. The hole teaser looked like a true sci-fi serious thing. They can take that outrageous idea not so serious, so that it feels true. But with that peageon... It feels not. And the hailing nazi at the begining... Isn`t he hailing with the wrong hand?
Rigi - Very cool film... by Mosquito March	May 7th, 2008 08:54:58 AM
...until it ends in a bird shit joke. I know the Nazis aren't cool, but you created something badass, built up an ominous tone...and then, with one sight gag, turned it into a lowest common denominator yuk-fest.

They couldn't build one atomic bomb to win the war? Perhaps these were the peace loving NAZIs misunderstood by their own kind--so they decided to go off on their own.
This looks by Series7	May 7th, 2008 09:08:59 AM
about 1,000 times more entertaining then Sky Captain. The reason Sky Captain was boring, Jude Law. Also if Rigi is really involved with the film, why doesn't he get ahold of Harry and Co. Because if you need people to work on your movie for free, this is probably a good site to find people with ALOT of free time.

According to talkbacker and infamous drooltard, GingerTwit, the gravity on the Moon is actually six times that of the Earth's. In his defense, I must add that this particular proclamation is among the least retarded things he's stated in talkback.

Thank you to those who've suported us. Since we're employed by our own company for us a sold dvd means paying the rent, the lunch or the occasional luxury like the copy of GTA4 I just picked up... Though we do actual for-hire video production as well. The pigeon seems to have split opinions on the interwebs. It's actually a very old thing, dating from the first teaser poster we did in 2006 - as well as the eagle statue. No matter how grandiose a statue pigeons will always use it as a toilet. That's the rule of the world.
re Sky Captain by DocPazuzu	May 7th, 2008 10:35:45 AM
This one is a heartbreaker for me. The trailers looked so fucking cool and the whole concept was great, but aside from a few awesome action set pieces and great designs, it fell completely flat for me. I don't know what it is, but I start going numb after about ten minutes of watching the thing. I still like the undersea battle and the dogfight over New York, but the rest is just torpid and bland. The absolutely worst fucking thing about that movie is Gwyneth Paltrow. My God, her performance is one of the worst I have ever seen. Some of these "dramatic" actors can't act worth shit in front of a blue screen. Pernilla August was the same way in Phantom Menace.
Doc by toadkillerdog	May 7th, 2008 10:43:58 AM
I felt then same way. I really wanted that movie to rock. It evoked the same imagery as one of the classic Fleischer Superman cartoons from the 1940's, when he is fighting the giant jewelry stealing robots. But it fell so flat, and Paltrow and Law had zero chemistry. She was so wooden - I am quite surprised that they were able to remove that oak tree from her ass in time for a decent performance in Iron Man.

For Nazis that we all can enjoy I highly recommend that adorable Millenium group from HELLSING! They're batshit crazy and they're not ashamed of it! And if you want scary Christians it's got that as well! Sometimes I often wish we had scary Christians like the Escariots just to keep the rest of you heathens and apostates and infidels in check! We ain't nuttin to fuck wit!
Visuals are very "transporting" by NoHubris	May 7th, 2008 12:13:21 PM
Hopefully the script will do the same. Rigi and his team definitely have skills to spare. I'm with the good Doc regarding green screen performances. Rigi's actors will make all the difference in the world. With respect to Sky Captain, I like it for the visuals. I'll put the DVD in and have it on with the volume down while I'm doing other things.

Here's an idea... SKY CAPTAIN 2 = OCEAN'S 14. by Shermdawg	May 7th, 2008 12:15:11 PM
It's no secret that a major factor of those films even existing is because George and the gang just like hanging out, and seeing how doing a fourth (regardless of how good the third may have been) is pushing things a bit, Jolie should sweet talk her hubbie into sweet talking George and Soderburgh into moving the cast over to an epic as all hell Sky Cap'n spinoff that focused on her character, Frankie.
I've never understood the Sky Captain hate. by rbatty024	May 7th, 2008 12:36:09 PM
Most people claim it's boring, but that's more telling about the person complaining than the film itself. All that means is they need to pop a ritilin. I loved the visuals in Sky Captains, I felt the dialogue had the same flare it used to back in the forties, and the action was well done. So few movies are capable of creating an entirely new world and that's one of the great triumphs of Sky Captain. The only complaint I have, and it's the same complaint I have with every other green screen film, is that the acting was a bit off. Of course the acting was still better than the Star Wars prequels, Sin City, and 300, so by comparison it was pretty good.

Tales of The Floating Vagabond by Thorstrongstone	May 7th, 2008 01:17:48 PM
Has anyone else played this fantastic RPG? It had space Nazis, Indiana Jones style humor, the ability to be any kind of character you wanted, and so much more. When I played, I had two characters, one was Raoul Duke, who had the ability to find drugs at any time, to fire the perfect shot(but not kill anyone, and could whistle for his vehicle, but could only enter the vehicle by jumping into it(called The Roy Rogers Effect). I also had a character who dressed in a yellow elephant costume, but the costume fused with the characters body, refusing the character's want to commit suicide. He also had to break out in song and dance whenever the Space Nazi's requested it, or whenever children were around. Fantastic fucking game that all geeks would love.

When you say "It's trendy to crap on that movie now".... by Hervoyel	May 7th, 2008 01:30:25 PM
Aren't you really saying that people who don't like that film and have the gall to say it out loud are just following the crowd and don't understand how truly great that movie is? It's sounds that way to me. Sky Captain was in my opinion a truly beautiful shining turd of a film that very few people liked for very good reasons. I don't think you're an elitist schmuck because it "played to you". That's your call just like the majority of the movie going public felt it came up short. I know I wasn't trying to be trendy when I decided I wouldn't be seeing that film again. I just thought it came up lacking in many ways.

RE:Rigi some advice by Ingeld	May 7th, 2008 02:13:17 PM
I know you all said you love the script, and God knows what it is like. Here are some suggestions if you have not already considered them. 1. Explain UFO sightings since 1945 as the Nazis making covert trips back. (Perhaps to purchase sauerkraut!--just kidding). 2. Make alien abductions as part of some NAZI project to experiment on human subjects to genetically produce the perfect race--"Mengele in Space." or to maintain their own stock, etc. 3. Have the world governments aware of the NAZI presence on the moon but they have kept it secret. Have NAZI spies or sympathizers in some of these governments. Please don't have Hitler clones. Don't include aliens--make the whole thing human. Can you let us in on any of the plot details?

Plot, bluescreen and personal fame. by Rigi	May 7th, 2008 04:11:20 PM
Sorry, can't spill anything more about the plot that's on our website. Let's make it clear it's a comedy, but more Dr. Strangelove than Spaceballs. The main character is a moon nazi herself. And one theme running trough the film will be conformity. And I'm humbled for the comments of my team and actors, but I have to confess I'm not the director. I'm actually the guy who got us to make a film about space nazis. I'm very happy that Timo will be directing instead of me. And about bluescreen films. We don't have any special love for bluescreen even though - or actually because - we have been using it extensively for ten years. It's a good tool, especially for doing things on budget, but nothing beats shooting on real sets and locations. I guess in some way we've come to effects technology backwards, it's something we've had on our disposal since the very first short films years and years ago, so for us the physical way is more interesting.

Ingeld..Nazis were months away from an Atomic bomb by Quake II	May 7th, 2008 07:51:35 PM

Wasn't there a trilogy in the cards once? I may not remember right, they said the same thing about Riddick (and after seeing the Director's Cut, I'm sorry it didn't happen). Still, for Bloodrayne to get a sequel and not Sky Captain is kind of shitty. I thought SCatWoT was a fun little video game of a movie. I liked it more than Transformers, so that's how out of touch I am.

You complain about Sky Captain having all style and no soul from the characters, but so far, neither does Iron Sky. I thought the characters in Sky Cap were pretty cool. I actually liked both Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, both of which I can;t usually stand in a movie. Still, I am extremely excited for Iron Sky, and I wouldn't really compare this to Sky Captain. They look completely different and the atmosphere in that teaser was nowhere even close to that of Sky cap.

It certainly seems that the pigeon divides opinion. We still love our little birdie. But honestly, we've never really even thought of it as a "poop joke". In the end, the poop itself is irrelevant, I laugh at the point where the pigeon realizes this thing isn't anything it can eat and looks rather disappointed. But, people see things differently and that's a good thing.
re: the man in the high castle by Rigi	May 8th, 2008 05:48:19 AM
We got couple of people in the company who absolutely love Philip K. Dick. Man in the High Castle is much liked as well. It's a small wonder how good movie Dick adaptations have produced though, even if the books seem unfilmable and the movies differ a lot they often end up being very good.
