Laibach, who will also create the soundtrack of the movie. The CGI effects were created by Energia Productions.

Iron Sky is the second film project from the creators of Star Wreck, an internet phenomenon that has gathered over eight million viewers all around the world.
“We shot this footage mainly to make sure our workflow works as planned”, says the director Timo Vuorensola. “The visual look and feel is one of the biggest challenges we need to overcome. Shooting this footage – which we will also use in the final film when it comes out – provided us with enough material to test out several options and pin down one. I'm hoping to find a visual combination that's unique: something that looks a bit like a comic book and a bit like concept art, but with a definite photorealistic atmosphere.”
The movie is directed by
Timo Vuorensola. The screenplay is written by the acclaimed sci-fi writer
Johanna Sinisalo (Nebula Award nominee 2009, Finlandia Prize 2000) and
Michael Kalesniko (Private Parts).
The first teaser of Iron Sky was released in 2008 and it has gathered over 3.7 million views.
