2018 is already bringing in the happy: a sequel to Iron Sky!

I needed a bit of good news

And this month, a freight train loaded to the brim with good – no, outrageously excellent – news just crashed through my house. In the metaphorical sense, of course. Otherwise I’d be a bit dead right now and writing this from The Other Side.

So let me take you back a few years, to the day I first watched Iron Sky. It contains many of my favourite things:

Sci-fi genre
An obvious low budget with big ambitions
Preposterous evil Nazis, usually of the zombie variety, but I’ll accept a moon Nazi or two
Massive death count with a fair few creative ways to die
Tongue-in-cheek humour
Cheesy one-liners
Explosions – lots of
Overly dramatic soundtrack
Outrageous plots so ludicrous you wish they were true
Udo Kier

At the time, I would have suggested the only thing missing from this movie to perhaps make it greater would be a mind-blowing cameo from those legends of trash, Eric Roberts or Bruce Davison. But, as you know, they’re busy working on a trillion other quality productions as I write.

So, you can probably understand my immense joy at the prospect of a second, even more ludicrous Iron Sky film. Here is just a snapshot of what this movie involves – please read carefully:

Hitler, who is in fact a shape-shifting reptilian, leading an army of dinosaurs.

Yes, you got it. Hilter. Hitler is a shape-shifting reptilian. He leads an army of dinosaurs. Having moved from the moon after the first film (!), he now resides back in Hollow Earth, accessed via a secret entrance in the Arctic. Did I mention that the President of the United States is also reptilian?

If you can suspend your disbelief for a couple of hours, this movie will be pure joy. Check out the trailer: I cannot wait!
