If you haven’t checked out this great trailer for Iron Sky, about a secret Nazi group that returns to Earth from their moonbase in the year 2018, well then please do.

Looks pretty good, right? Almost as interesting as moon-bound Nazis is the way the movie is being created, which is through a communal Finnish moviemaking site called Wreck A Movie. How does this process work, you ask? Well, I have to say I’m not entirely sure, though I’m awfully intrigued by the idea. The Wreck A Movie website breaks their process down into three broad steps: 1) joining their online community. 2) finding like-minded artists within said community to collaborate with. 3) setting up your own production and creating a collaborative community around it.

Sounds like a great idea, but it certainly raises quite a few questions at the same time about what level of collaboration we’re talking about here. My impression is that at this point their community is used more as a creative sounding-board, with users offering ideas on what a nuclear device detonating in outer space would look like, or what a cool design for a moonbase might be. Still, it’s a promising idea, and the Wreck A Movie’s maverick spirit and pro-Creative Commons philosophy alone is worth championing. I’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on what they do next.
