Iron Sky: Cinema 2.0

Just bear with me for a minute here. So, we have a new movie coming out, Iron Sky. Iron Sky is an upcoming dark sci-fi comedy about Nazis returning from the moon where they fled after WWII, with a soundtrack by Laibach, and produced by production companies in Finnland, Germany and Australia.

Sounds fun, right? Could be ridiculous, could be awesome. But what makes the film even more interesting is that it is a product of Wreckamovie. Wreckamovie is an online collaborative film production platform. It is invested in what it calls Cinema 2.0 where films are made and produced using internet group collaboration.

For instance, an example are Swarm Of Angels, where an attempt was made to get 50,000 people to chip in 25 pounds each to fund the shooting or movie footage that would then be freely available to all to download and edit and create as they saw fit.

Wreckamovie was born during the production of 2005’s Finnish Star Trek dark sci fi comedy parody Star Wreck: In The Perkinning. (It has a Stark Trek vs. Babylon 5 thing going on) The movie  was thought up by 5 guys in a two room flat. During production one room was used as the blue screen and the other the render room. The cast and crew was eventually comprised of numerous volunteers, many aquired online. Due to the immense amount of special effects needed and the severly limited budget, various special effects were farmed out to interested film enthusiasts across the world. In fact, although the movie took 7 years to make since the first 5 was a learning experience (all the footage from the first 5 years was ditched and reshot), Wreckamoive discovered that large amounts of the movie making process could be collaborated upon by an international community of film enthusiasts.
