While the ‘Nazis on the moon’ flick Iron Sky has met mixed reviews, it’s journey to find funding through crowdsourcing and the way it’s managed to maintain a groundswell of interest during the years between the idea and the finished film is impressive.
It’s certainly meant there’s been a lot of interest in director Timo Vuorensola, who already says he’s got a TV miniseries prequel and cinematic sequel to Iron Sky in the works (although whether they’ll see the light of day in another matter after the mixed response to the first film).
Now he’s also working on another movie according to Twitch, which still keeps with the Nazi theme, as it’s based on the graphic novel I Killed Hitler. Created by Jason (aka cartoonist John Arne Sæterøy), the comic is set in a dangerous world where contract killers are legal and can be hired to wipe out anyone who’s annoying you.
One of these assassins is contracted to go back to 1939 to murder Hitler, but things go wrong. The Fuhrer overpowers his potential killer and rather than going to the moon, ends up hiding out in the present. With no way to time jump, the assassin must wait decades until he’s an old man at the time Hitler jumped to, teaming up with his now much-younger girlfriend to take down the Nazi leader.
DC Walker is on scripting duties, with the director aiming to start shooting next year.
