A 'Sarah Palin' like President portrayed in upcoming film, 'Iron Sky.'

If this 'character' wasn't in this film, it would be right up me and my wife's alley.

But alas, Will never see it, Unless she gets blown up in the first five minutes...

Someone I know saw it. Around Christmas it was actually available online for a short time. FYI,This female 'Palin-esque' President is shown to be smart and tough. He said the film felt very pro-Sarah Palin.

What disturbs me is I remember seeing a faux trailer to this years ago(3 or 4 years ago) The director was trying to get the movie made and to raise money. The story,even though far fetched,was played with a serious 'what if' tone to it. It was not until the money came in is where they decide to make it some what campy. Sad what a filmmaker has to do in order to get the film made.For all we know those who gave money to this may have allowed it on one condition. They show a Sarah Palin like President in a flattering light. Not saying that is what happened, but when it comes to $$$ You have to sell out. Sometimes more than you want.
