Twitch Film wrote about an interesting Russian nazi comedy called Hitler Kaput, that’s under production at the moment. Production values seem to be satisfyingly high, and/but the comedic style slapstique. It’s yet one more Nazi comedy coming out from a country that has had their own umm… should I say ‘history’ (yeah, I’m talking about Germany’s Hitler-comedy Mein Fuehrer: The Truly Truest Truth About Adolf Hitler). Here’s the trailer - hard to say is it going to be any good or just another ZAZie, but I sure hope to get to see it. The Russian premiere is 20.4.08, if somebody hears when it’s out somewhere with English subtitles, please let me know. There’s not too much info available on the net about the film, but at least they have an IMDB entry (which we, with Iron Sky, don’t have yet - or do we? There’s this one entry that’s mysteriously hovering on IMDB, but none of us knows what it is - if somebody with IMDB Pro access reads this, can you maybe check what’s actually there…)

Oh, and in other news, Inside Steve’s Mind, a YouTube web comedy series of short fiction films has an episode about a love affair between Hitler and Steve, that’s from time to time actually pretty funny. Go check it out here:

(Thanks to Mike for this.)

(As much as I know that this blogpost will be getting the biggest amounts of spam ever, because it has the word ‘Sauna’ in it (foreign spambots obviously think that it’s somehow sex-related…) - our previous spam-magnet has been Atte’s post “Itävaltalaisessa saunassa“, I’m still happy to be writing about it. :)

The Bronson Club -guys have started blogging about their adventures in making the scariest horror-film ever, Sauna. It’s an interesting journey, they are right at this moment shooting in Prague, burning barns and all that… So if you want to have a good view on the production of an interesting film, that’s a good place to start.

Sauna blog.

Timos‘ in the States but seems he’s always present here, ending up in YouTube - because of a party of course. M dot Strange, director of We Are the Strange talks with Timo about Nazi ufos and such.

I’m in a situation where it’s almost hard to decide, which of these taglines rocks harder:

“In 1945 the Nazis Went to the Moon. In 2018 They Are Coming Back!”

or

“On This Beach the Only Good German is a Living German.”

I’d say ours… what do you think? The latter is, of course, from the world’s second coolest Nazi movie in production - Worst Case Scenario. It’s a film about Nazi Zombies, and there’s a combination of words you can’t go wrong with. The film has been on a longish hiatus, as Todd from Twitch Film tells, because of financial problems, but they’ve just recently popped back up again and with a new financer are back in business!

Here’s what the story is about:

The original screenplay of this horrormovie centers on the common friction between neighboring countries. It’s a global phenomenon, and even in peaceful Western Europe you will find old grudges. If you dig deep enough.

In the final of the World Championship soccer games Holland and Germany are going to war. An American on a personal quest antagonizes a group of hooligans that chase him to a North Sea island. There awaits an opponent in a league of its own.

The one thing that made this film such an interesting phenomenon are the two promo reels they’ve released. If you haven’t seen them, you’d better check them out right away:

Thanks a bunch again for Twitch Films for being awake and reporting about the re-emerging of the production once again!

First teaser for AJ Annila’s Sauna has been released. There’s also a teaser website with a retroish text adventure/choose-your-own-story type of game. With more videos at the end for those who finish the game.

And yeah, we’re working with the same producers as Sauna, but it means that we’ve got a look at the script. It’s good.

So everyone and their kitchen sink has blogged this, but the first teaser for J.J. Abrams helmed Star Trek is officially out in it’s full HD glory.

It doesn’t show much, but the Enterprise on drydock looks very good. My personal jury is still out on whether I’m waiting for this film or not. I loved the first season of Lost as much as anyone, but honestly, MI:III was load of old, unwashed pants. Only less interesting.

And being on the subject of old pants, who the hell decided the Finnish premiere for Cloverfield should be 29th of February? It’s a pure internet-hype movie built on mystery. I’m from the internets and I demand everything here and now. Not over a month later when everyone has gotten so tired of the monster they can’t spell Sparta.

Fresh from Facebook, the first picture from AJ Annila’s upcoming horror film Sauna. Tero (the producer) showed us a three minute promo yesterday and the film is looking really good.

2008 will be a bloody interesting year for Finnish movies. After decades of kitchen drama there are four Finnish horror films coming this year. First up is Dark Floors, the Lordi film on 8th of February. Without a set date are Sauna, Skeleton Crew from the makers of Kohtalon Kirja (who are practically our neighbors being based in Ylöjärvi) and the zombies in WWII film Stone’s war.

Huba -tiimin kaverit ovat saaneet uutta kamaa nettiin, nimittäin jo edesmenneen Yle Extran sketsiklinikassa palkitun pätkänsä MÄX - miesten kanava. Käykää katsomassa.

And for those who don’t speak Finnish, the Huba guys have a subtitled version of their previous film. They are seriously funny.
