Finnish filmmaker Timo Vuorensola first caught audiences’ attention with his debut feature, the Nazis-in-space flick Iron Sky. That crowd-funded film eventually made it to release where it unfortunately disappointed many critics. That hasn’t deterred Vuorensola from pursuing his movie-making dreams, though – and the director is back with a proof-of-concept video for his newest project. If you’re assuming that means he’s revealed a trailer for I Killed Adolf Hitler, guess again – while we all figured that was Vuorensola’s next project, it turns out we’ve been fooled. Instead of another Nazi movie, Vuorensola is turning to a different graphic novel as inspiration: Jeremiah Harm. Like Iron Sky, Jeremiah Harm will rely heavily on fan...

Yes, we knew he was already working on an adaptation of graphic novel I Killed Adolf Hitler but it turns out the Finn had something else on the boil and today we found out what it is. And, once again, he is turning to a graphic novel for source material.Using a formula much like the one followed by Iron Sky - meaning a heavy crowd funding and fan involvement emphasis - Vuorensola is developing an adaptation of Alan Grant and Keith Giffen's Jeremiah Harm with Tero Kaukomaa (Iron Sky), Arnold Rifkin (A Good Day To Die Hard) and Boom! Studios Ross...

After the long slog of gathering funding for, making and promoting space Nazis sci-fi romp Iron Sky, you might think director Timo Vuorensola would have had enough of the World War II goons to last a lifetime. But apparently not! Not only does he have a TV miniseries prequel and cinematic sequel to Sky up his sleeve, but he’s developing a film based on graphic novel I Killed Adolf Hitler.Created by Jason (the pen name for cartoonist John Arne Sæterøy), the Eisner-winning title is set in a weird, dangerous world where contract killers are in every phone book and can be hired to wipe out annoying people, be they badly behaved relatives, noisy neighbours or just anyone who gets on your nerves. Naturally, business is brisk.But when one such assassin is contracted to head back to 1939 to off Hitler, things go wrong. The Fuhrer overpowers his would-be...

It looks like director Timo Vuorensola has Nazis on the brain. Iron Sky, his tongue-in-cheek sci-fi film about Nazis attacking from the moon, was recently released, and it looks like he’s developing a franchise around the title – there’s promise of a sequel and a three episode TV miniseries that will serve as a prequel. If reports are correct, these projects are only the beginning.
According to Twitch, Vuorensola will helm a big screen adaptation of the graphic novel I Killed Adolf Hitler by Jason, which follows a modern-day contract killer who time travels back to 1939 to assassinate the Nazi leader. But when things go awry, and Hitler sends himself to the present, the stranded killer waits out the decades until he can finally find his target and carry out his mission. The project was optioned for the big screen earlier this year.

Remember that Nazi moon invasion film Iron Sky that is being released? Well the director of that film, Timo Vuorensola, must be fascinated with Nazi's because he's making another film called I Killed Adolf Hitler, a time traveling comedy, which is based on the Eisner Award winning graphic novel by Jason. The story definitely sounds entertaining! It follows the adventures of a hitman who encounters complications after traveling back in time to 1938 to assassinate Hitler.
Here's the synopsis for the comic:
In this full-color graphic novel, Jason posits a strange, violent world in which contract killers can be hired to rub out pests, be they dysfunctional relatives, abusive co-workers, loud neighbors, or just annoyances in general -- and as you might imagine, their services are in heavy demand. One such killer is given the unique job of traveling back in time to kill Adolf Hitler in 1939... but things go spectacularly wrong.

But the most interesting news is a separate project set during WWII, a time traveling comedy called I Killed Adolf Hitler. Based on an award-winning graphic novel by Jason (yep, just one name), the story sounds absolutely brilliant. Read on! In the story, contract killers can hired by anyone to eradicate enemies and people who annoy them. Someone sends a killer back in time to kill Adolf Hitler, but Hitler gets the best of him and switches places, traveling to...
