Once upon a time in Nazi occupied France… in Cannes to be exact. A group of film makers decided to have a break from meetings and to have some fun.
We were in Cannes film festival for 8 days straight and everyone had lots of meetings and very little free time. So when we had one day that was more or less a free day, we decided to do something fun together. And because we are all big movie nerds, we just had to do our version of Inglourious Basterds trailer. We decided to re-make the whole trailer shot by shot, only using the soundtrack from the original trailer. It took us a bout 12 hours to do the graphics, organize and finally shoot the trailer. Let´s take a look at how this all came together.
Everything starts with good planning. Here are Timo Vuorensola and Pekka Ollula looking for the right angels to shoot
Samuli Torssonen is getting ready for his close-up as Hitler
Samuli is getting in the zone
Roll camera... and... ACTION!
As you can see, we have a map of Cannes here covered with Swastikas just like in the original film... well almost
We even got Iron Sky producer Tero Kaukomaa to play a part. Ukko Kaarto is making the last touch-ups to the props before shooting
Ukko Kaarto as Lt. Aldo Raine. Each and every man under his command owes him one hundred Nazi scalps... and Ukko want his scalps!
Pekka Ollula is getting his make-up done by Merja. The metamorphosis to Diane Kruger is almost complete
Last adjustments to the wardrobe
And the transformation is complete, you go girl!
Ukko Kaarto, Timo Vuorensola and Merja Ritola are hanging around the "set"
I have no idea what's going on here...
Ukko Kaarto, Pekka Ollula and Merja Ritola are shooting a running scene
Merja is running away from the Nazis
We were shooting outside a sex store in the streets of Cannes and we were loosing light fast. But we got the shot.
And here’s where it all started, the original trailer for Inglourious Basterds.
And finally, here is the the end result of all of our hard work once again. Enjoy!
I have say that I had a blast making Iroun Sky Basterds and it was probably one of the funniest days of my life. And for that me and Timo would like to thank our wonderful team one more time: Pekka Ollula, Ukko Kaarto, Janne Torssonen, Christian Arnold, Merja Ritola, Tero Kaukomaa and Samuli Torssonen as Der Führer.
