Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is an epic science fiction parody. Production of the film begun six years ago, the original intention being to produce a 15-minute special effects clip. Our ambition grew in pace with our abilities, however. Apart from the title, the film we are about to release has very little in common with our first drafts. Humility stops us from proclaiming this film a piece of Finnish cinema history. The truth is, however, that In the Pirkinning will be the first movie produced in Finland to contain lots of high quality special effects, space combat and no-holds-barred action in a science fiction environment.

Although the movie contains satire elements, parodying both Star Trek and Babylon 5, it has grown to be a stand-alone film, which we hope will entertain both die-hard science fiction lovers as well as those unfamiliar with the genre.

From the site it appears they would be releasing this firm on 20/8/2005

Whats' it about?

Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning begins with Captain James B. Pirk of the starship Kickstart shipwrecked on the 21st century Earth with his crew. Originally from the distant future, Pirk and his crew travelled back in time to save the Earth from hostile aliens, but lost their ship and became stranded. Things are not looking good for our heroes. Pirk's daily routine consists mainly of stuffing his face at the local fast food restaurant, and he is finding it difficult to convince the ladies he is, in fact, an intergalactic space hero from the future.

As the prospects for humanity's conquest of space look increasingly bleaker, Pirk comes up with a questionable plan to save mankind's future...
