Director Timo Vuorensola and producer Tero Kaukomaa have launched on November 6 a new crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to raise a minimum of $500,000 over 45 days for the pre-production of Iron Sky The Coming Race, sequel to the 2012 cult Finnish sci-fi spoof movie.
So far the project produced by Finland’s Iron Sky Universe and Germany’s 27 Films Production has secured backing from the Finnish Film Foundation, HessenInvestFilm and Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg. The overall objective is to raise around 40% of the $15 million budget from soft money and 60% from online backers as well as pre-sales and equity money.
Canadian comedy actor Tom Green (Charlie’s Angels) has joined the cast from the original Iron Sky, actors Udo Kier, Stephanie Paul and Julia Dietze and cinematographer Mika Orasmaa. For more information on the film and to watch a 4 minute promo check: http://www.ironsky.net/
