'Iron Sky' producers make peace with pirates

MOSCOW -- The Finnish producers of the $ten million sci-fi Nazis around the moon spoof, "Iron Sky," took a counter intuitive approach once they found evidence that the Chinese games company had unlicensed their creative concept to have an iPad game. Apple quickly required the merchandise from its apple iphone stores after "Iron Sky's" makers complained that Chinese company Ziiso was making an unlicensed game concerning the film. Instead of sue the organization, "Iron Sky" designers have reached talks using the Chinese to create a legitimate iPad game. "The folks at Ziiso apologized towards the 'Iron Sky' team within an interview through the biggest newspaper in Finland, Helsingin Sanomat," stated "Iron Sky" director Timo Vuorensola. The filmmakers then asked Ziiso for discusses a much better, approved licensed version. "The candid and sincere apology by Ziiso as well as their readiness to fix their error convinced me that people could co-operate together on the overall game project," Vuorensola added. "We're presently settling with Ziiso about revamping the overall game and posting it included in the official 'Iron Sky' merchandise selection." "They are saying that the attack is the greatest type of defense, but rather than a pricey legal fight we made the decision to strike an offer. If the works, everyone wins," added producer Tero Kaukomaa of Helsinki's Blind Place Pictures. Contact the range newsroom at news@variety.com
