Comrades!

To quote Laibach quoting Europe: “We’re heading for Mars, and still we stand tall — ’cause maybe they’ve seen us and welcome us all.”

Deep Red saga, our tale of Communists on Mars — is officially moving full steam ahead!

The Road Ahead

As we are gearing up towards launching the main production, we’re working on a promo we want to shoot to introduce the world of Deep Red to wider audiences. We’ve done this on all of the Iron Sky movies, so it’s only natural to continue down this road as well.

Attached you’ll find the script for the upcoming Deep Red promo. We’re now rolling into production, and we’ll keep you updated as we progress.

PS. If you want to avoid spoilers - obviously, don’t read it! And if you want to discuss it, drop by our Discord channel!

We’ve begun work on the spacesuit that will appear in our promo — and later, in the film itself. Designing a spacesuit is always one of the trickiest challenges in any sci-fi production. Not only have audiences seen countless brilliant suits before, but ours also needs to feel grounded, functional, and believable.

In our story, the astronaut has crash-landed, so the suit must also show signs of non-lethal damage — enough to suggest failure and stress, without compromising realism. Striking that balance will be a meticulous process.

It’s a major undertaking, and we’re excited to have assembled a talented team to bring it to life. We’ll keep you updated as the build progresses; the process promises to be both fascinating and highly experimental.

Below is an AI-generated visual that captures the general direction we’re heading. The design will continue to evolve as we refine and develop the final look.

Deep Red Chess Puzzle!

As part of our expanding franchise universe, we decided to release our very first game! Deep Red Chess Puzzle is a game where you join Deep Red, the AI overruler of the Communist Utopia on Mars to crush a rebellion on the streets of New Moscow, by solving chess problems!

Pre-Round Progress

Right now, we’re focused on finalizing funding for the pre-round so we can fire the real engines. We’re soon hitting the halfway point, with nearly 40% of the target secured!

If you’re interested in joining onboard at the Pre-Round stage, or know someone who think would be - request Deep Red White Paper here!

We’ve also made an easier-to-absorb, investor-focused investment deck for anyone interested, you can check out the deck here:

To our fallen comrades…

Last, but not least, on the 23rd of November, we heard the devastating news that our dear friend and a long-time collaborator, Udo Kier, had died.

Udo has been a very loved member of the original Iron Sky family, having portrayed not one, but two different characters in the movies, and having had a huge presence in the whole universe of Iron Sky.

Our deepest condolences go to Udo Kier’s loved ones, and we know that anyone who ever had the chance to work or encounter him shares the sentiment - he was among the very best of men, a wonderful actor,and an amazing human being.

Here’s an In Memoriam post with some images from down the road we shared with Udo.

With best regards,

Tero, Timo & Deep Red Team
