Iron Sky - independently produced in Finland - became a YouTube sensation before it was even made courtesy of well-made teaser trailers.

"The problem with high-concept films is that once you’ve ticked off the promises of the pitch, where do you go next? As Samuel L Jackson once so eloquently put it, “I have had it with these motherf***ing snakes on this motherf***ing plane!” Anyone brave enough to approach Finnish-German-Australian curio Iron Sky – essentially ‘Nazis On The Moon’ – will feel the same."
