Iron Sky

Iron Sky Towards the end of World War II, in 1945, the SS officer Hans Kammler’s staff made a significant breakthrough in anti-gravity research. From a secret base built in the Antarctic, the first Nazi spaceships were launched in late ‘45, and they founded the military base Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun) on the so-called dark side of the Moon. The purpose of this base was to build a powerful invasion fleet and return to take over the Earth once the time was right.

It is the year 2018. The Nazis are about to return to an unsuspecting Earth – but the homeworld has problems of its own. Frustrated people hunger for anything inspiring, shocking, strange or surprising, like a lightning bolt out of the blue. They’re going to get it – more so than they’ve ever hoped! And they’re going to love it!

Welcome to a journey into the world of Iron Sky.

Lost City Raiders

Lost City Raiders poster A story of two brothers who set out to salvage the past and end up fighting to save the future.

70 percent of the world’s landmass has been lost to ‘The Rising’ and are now under water. 40 years after the cumulative effects of global warming, we enter into Earth’s new reality that will set the tone of Lost City Raiders:

Major costal cities were lost or partially submerged, leaving the upper half of New York’s Statue of Liberty as the only visible remains, L.A.’s Hollywood sign – barely rising above the sea’s horizon, Paris’ Eiffel Tower half-drowned and Rio’s Sugar Loaf Mountain a mere hill sitting in the sea.

Sent on a mission by the Vatican, our heroes set out to ensure that what’s left of our world will not be lost as well. On the hunt for an ancient artefact that may be able to control the water levels, they must battle the elements and a ruthless manipulator who wants it to control ‘The Rising’ and therefore the world.
