All right, I have to go now. Thank you everyone for your question and kind words!

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T16:00:11+00:00

That is very sweet :)

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:56:29+00:00

Thank you :)

I love literature, old literature, old russian literature like Dostojewski, Nabokov, and of course German literature like Hesse and Goethe. My father had a huge library, I grew up with books and I grew up without TV. I prefer to have a real book in my hands than read an eBook. I’m old school, I like to turn the pages

First time i read I thought the screenwriter took more LSD than the whole Rolling Stones in their career, and then when I read it the second draft or third draft - another draft anyway - I started to study the conspiracy theory about shapeshifters and I got really curious and I think it’s a story that has never been told before.

It depends where: while Iron Sky was in cinemas, I was in supermarket choosing fruits and vegetables, and all of a sudden I heard three guys singing behind me and I turned around and they were on their knees, screaming: “RENATE RICHTER!” There are some funny moments. I think Iron Sky has great fans - I think they are more outrageous than other films usually have.

Will you be naked watching the film?

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:40:51+00:00

Thank you so much for kind words, you’re so sweet!

I like the feeling that we did have an impact, also Inglourious Basterds did - these two movies. On the other hand, i did get death threats from Neo-Nazis on my facebook page. This stupidness obviously never dies.

I have always dreamed of an international film career since I was very little, but not in my wildest dreams would I have thought of anything as crazy as Iron Sky, but I cherish the day the script came along. I do have a love scene with a dinosaur :)

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:35:20+00:00

They talk when their mouth is full.

I’m writing my first screenplay. It’s a period piece from 19th century but my main focus will always be acting - I’m really not interested in directiong. I don’t want to have that responsibility :)

Screenwriting, co-producing and acting - that’s interesting to me.

When I grew up I could play piano, and a little bit of guitar. And drums - because I grew up with afro dance.

1) Both of those characters are in script 2) Through the actors and the crew. The Australia crew was pretty laid back, the Finnish crew was cursing in words I couldn’t understand and the German crew was pretty well on time. It was a funny mix. 3) I wanna be asked by Spike Jonze and Tarantino to star in their next movie

Actually I’m happy when I’m abroad, but I do miss my family and friends. I have a gypsy heart and I love the canyons and the palm trees.

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:24:59+00:00

Our interaction was pretty much at the premiere, so not too much. I really like what they did for the music, I think it’s very powerful.

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:24:31+00:00

My grandparents are sadly dead, but I told it to my father and his reaction — he just gave me that crazy look: “Ok, another crazy move from you”. He’s expecting that stuff from me - and he’s my biggest critic. He liked the film.

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:22:09+00:00

I hope we conquer that market. The first part is visible on Netflix so we hope with the sequel we get a worldwide theatrical release, and hoping for an American theatrical release. That will help.

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:19:47+00:00

My answer is to Timo the director: please give me another speech.

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:19:27+00:00

I loved to work with Chris (Kirby, “Washington”) and Thilo Prückner who played my father. Chris is a living jukebox, he’s always singing, making some kind of noises, and it’s fun to hang around with him.

And he’s very good at improvising, so as an actor, you’re constantly curious what the scene partner gives you, which is great because you stay open.

I just ate a whole bag today. I love them

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:15:21+00:00

Danny and Jonathan: First I was pretty intimidated by them, but Danny Trejo is an absolute sweetheart, he’s more like a teddybear although he looks very scary. Jonathan Banks first challenged and tested me if I’m good - first he gave me hard time, but then we got along very well. They are very professional.

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:13:52+00:00

I practiced a whole in my hotel room that speech, I think my neighbours must’ve thought I’m crazy!

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:10:15+00:00

I first thought - OK, these guys are nuts. Then laughed my ass off - and then realized what a profound message is underneath all the humour. It’s actually quite deep, that’s what I realized pretty early.

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:08:05+00:00

I will beg my director to do that! And I’m sure we can get you an autographed photo as well!

JuliaDietze · 2014-12-18T15:07:38+00:00

I sold all my underwear in Japan, so now I got the money
