Have you ever seen Harvey Weinstein naked? I don’t think so. We here at Energia Productions do things a bit differently.

So here it goes, Dailies mobile special straight from Samuli’s sauna.

Sorry about the image quality, for some reason Nokia N93 isn’t designed to be used in a sauna.

French video sharing site DailyMotion offers full-length uploads, so here’s Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning in streamable form. So if you need an easy way to show off In the Pirkinning watch and embded it from that site.

Oh and if the site is crap, please tell us. On our office connectiont he videos stream pretty fast, but how about elsewhere in the world? Say on the other side of the ocean.

Energidiots seem to have had a rather silly day at the office while I was away, and the latest Energia Dailies reflected that pretty well, I think. So, it’s good to hear somebody talk something important for a change. So here’s Joi Ito talking about various things - Star Wreck, for example. Take it away, Joi! (From Loic Le Meur’s blog).

From YouTube comes a video creatively mixing Star Trek 4, Star Wars and In the Pirkinning:

This kind of re-edits are fun, so if you spot some let us know. I’ve been collecting the ones I’ve found to a YouTube playlist if you want to check them out.

…they’d come up with the design of Kalinka. Well, at least our fan from Helsinki, avaruus-apina (Finnish for “spacemonkey”), also known from our forum as Joutilas, and by his real name, Petri Liuhto, did. He’s been drawing/painting cool stuff from Star Wreck and also some fan art for Iron Sky. Here’s his latest work, C.P.P. Kalinka

Ps. My kindness towards my wife got awarded by Lynch’s Twin Peaks golden box and INLAND EMPIRE, of which the latter I’m about to watch very soon! So remember, be kind to your loved ones and you might get Lynched as well!

…and thanks to the modern, snowless Decembers here in Finland, I’ll keep on dreaming. Meanwhile, some other good things of Christmas remain. Them being: food and presents. And although we cannot blog any food directly to you, we’ve prepared a little present on Energia’s behalf. The idea was ignited by one of our fans, who was asking about the speeches of Sherrypie from Star Wreck on our forum. We realized that we haven’t released the script of Star Wreck, although we didn’t have any reason to hold it back.

So, as this year’s Christmas present, Energia releases the script of Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning in it’s latest and most complete form. Since the script was never officially ‘finished’, and kept on changing until the very last months of production, the version I put together is different from the film itself, but the clearest one we had. Hope you enjoy!

As the film is in Finnish, so is the script too - sorry for our international audience. But fear not, we have a little something for you as well! I dug out the remaining storyboards that had survived through the years, scanned them and pushed them online.

Ps. Easiest way to view the script is to either print it or view it as flashpaper (two buttons on the right corner of the Scribd screen), but you can also download the .pdf versions from here: script and storyboards.

The whole Energia team would like to wish you a peaceful and merry Christmas. Keep on Wrecking in the free world!

As you may remember, some months ago we were asking our community to participate to Tampere University’s PARTECO-research on Star Wreck -related research, asking questions like ‘who is our community’, ‘why did they participate in Star Wreck’s production’ and ‘what did they expect to get from out of it’. During Mindtrek-festival here in Tampere, Atte and Katri Lietsala, the researcher, presented some of the results to the public. You may check some of the interesting stuff from these slides:

In other news, a Catalonian university has been interviewing me on similar research. It’s always fun to hear that our film is relevant even on University level :)

German fandubbers Crash Dub Studios have made a German version of the In the Pirkinning trailer. We showed this in Assembly, but now it’s on YouTube as well. Currently it’s only the trailer, but maybe some day the entire film can be enjoyed in German.

Check it out.

Oh and there’s also the professional Italian dub that was shown on Canal Jimmy, check out the clips on Revver.
