A science fiction comedy about the Nazis from the Dark Side of the Moon, Iron Sky, released it’s official trailer less than a week ago on YouTube. The trailer has received over 5 million views in six days, beating in popularity the trailers for upcoming blockbuster films such as The Amazing Spider-Man and Battleship. “It feels great to beat these films that have already spent more on marketing that the entire budget of Iron Sky. I see it as a sign of democratisation of entertainment, where the internet means a Finnish film can capture the interest of the viewing public. This is a victory to all European and independent filmmakers, and it’s all thanks to our active online community” says director Timo Vuorensola.
Iron Sky marches to theaters in April 2012.
