Iron Sky-One Day only!

[jingars]

The Revolver website has the DVD release date as 28th May and it is allegedly available to pre-order from them.

Looks like the "one day" thing wasn't a marketing ploy and Revolver really don't care about giving the film a decent cinema release.

Could still be marketing - they realised it would possibly be more profitable for a "limited" cinematic release, and then push the DVD sales.

The tone of the mails from them does tend to come across as more marketing talk than being seriously pissed off at the distributors.

It's on for one night (tomorrow) at a local independent cinema, none of the chain multiplexes have it listed, the DVD and Blu-Ray are released on Monday, I suspect this dumbass 1 day release is for real.

I have a guitar lesson tomorrow night so I have got my order in with PLAY for the Blu Ray on the 28th. Will just have to watch it on my 7 1/2 foot projection screen instead, no great hardship I suppose

[vixen1700]

Yep, just pre-ordered a copy myself as I can't hang around for it not to be shown anywhere nearby.

[alfaben]

Showcase appear to the only chain I can uncover that are showing it, can't see it listed on either Vue or Odeon! What a balls up Thankfully though Showcase and a few other indy's have arranged extended viewings through till Wednesday next week

[Famous Graham]

It's apparently been extended to a week in Edinburgh, although at an indy (Cameo).

[Balmoral]

Well, after my moaning that no-one appeared to know or care about it, it's on at the Showcase in Derby, tickets booked for tomorrow evening. And the DVD ordered. I'm happy

[thehawk]

Surely in the US this would be straight to DVD - all the reviews I have read have been absolutely dire,

[Famous Graham]

And now it's running for as long as "demand dictates".

Interesting PR exercise.

Surely it's an obvious cynical marketing ploy? Why would they deliberately limit their profits when they have presumably invested their money? So they say "1 day only" to get people talking, and oh look, no we're going to keep it open.

What I find stranger is why people seem to be going nuts over what sounds like a 3rd rate B-movie based on a Sunday Sport headline!

I got dragged along to the cinema on Monday (in Ljubljana) to see this. TBH I thought it was pretty crap but your money your choice.

[judas]

Just got back from watching the film. I loved it I had no expectations except for it to me a mildly entertaining B movie and it delivered very nicely. Pacing was a bit off in places but it was a good romp and genuinely laugh out loud funny in places. Lots of nice digs at American foreign policy too - which is never a bad thing

Oh, and Julia Dietze...

Mark Kermode gave it a very good one, and he's not one to pull any punches.

I've just seen it, and quite enjoyed it

It's supposed to be, that's the point

A cult movie, without the wait for cult status.

Crap ending though, sort of punctured it a bit for me.

[clonmult]

If its even half as good as Star Wreck, it should be enjoyable, and at least its not subtitled all the way through.

May just go for the DVD release.

I saw a TV ad for this last night:

"Iron Sky - In cinemas today only!"

That was at 23:00...

[judas]

Anyone got a link for the DVD? The only I can find is the €300 collector's edition

Edit: ignore me, I'm an idiot.

Edit 2: Hmmm, interesting comments on the reviews. May be worth waiting...

Damn, I've ordered already. Still, at least it will have the film in full, I'm not too fussed about extras.

Our beloved leader designed and built them himself lol.

That blonde lady is going to be super famous, serious stage presence or whatever its called or maybe just seriously hot.
