Iron Sky: This is What the Internet Is For
I'm glad somebody figured it out, because a lot of people were starting to wonder. I've always liked the crew that did Star Wreck. Now they've done something else: Iron Sky. Not a Star Trek job, not a parody, this is original IP. The premise appears to be that Nazis conquered the moon in 1945; now (meaning 2018) they're going to come back to Earth.
Those crazy, open-source loving Finns have apparently drummed up a budget of $5 million. The whole scene reminds me oddly of the premise of Bioshock: a mid-20th century culture preserves in a bizarre dystopian bubble.

If this is half as good as Star Wreck, it'll be gold. And judging from the teaser, it's going to be twice as good.
