Obsession of the moment: "Iron Sky"

So in my ongoing quest to find every cool piece of crap on the entire internet, I present today's obsession -- the trailer for the not-yet-existent action-thriller animated feature Iron Sky. It was created by Timo Vuorensola and Samuli Torssonen, the Finnish team behind Star Wreck, a series of "Star Trek" parodies which reportedly to this day is still the most popular fan-based online movie series in history, with a script by award-winning author Johanna Sinisalo; and it's a doozy of a potboiler too, a retro thriller based around the idea of Nazis inventing spaceflight at the end of World War II and secretly sending a group of Aryan warriors to live on the far side of the moon, with the film itself set in 2018 when this group of Nazi warriors decide to come back and invade Earth.

It's shocking how high the quality of this essentially homegrown trailer is; but hey, don't take my word for it, just check it out yourself above, if you're on a device that has Adobe Flash Player. The filmmakers are in fact raising money right this second in order to get the entire full-length movie made; you can stop by the official Iron Sky website for a lot more information on how you can help.
