Tripartite Nazi sci-fi comedy to have Australian flavour

New Holland Pictures producer Cathy Overett says that even though the company joined its German/Finnish Iron Sky partners recently, the sci fi project will still have a strong Australian component.

“We  are pulling together the creative team here in Australia – a number of heads of department and also proposed cast. Our partners have just been in Australia for 10 days and have met with all the creatives we’ve proposed and are very happy with the team,” Overett told Encore.

Overett and the creative team behind Iron Sky had a booth at last weekend’s Supanova pop culture expo in Sydney, where the producers said the project “stirred up great interest from the general public”.

Iron Sky takes place in the year 2018, when the Nazis, who fled the Earth to the dark side of the Moon in 1945, return to claim the Earth.
