Ah… who knew that Bruce Dickinson (the mad bugger who wants to do everything on earth before he dies) is also a screenplay writer? Hmm? Apparently, he has co-written for the movie Chemical Wedding and is due for a release this May 30th in the UK. I believe the movie is being produced by the legendary Heavy Metal band (my own personal favorite band of all time) Iron Maiden.

And guess who the movie is all about – its none other than Aleister Crowley. Talk about another cult movie in the making.

From an excerpt of an interview by Billboard with Bruce:

The movie we’re just doing ["Chemical Wedding" stems from conversations in the pub with Julian Doyle [Dickinson's co-writer on the film and its director 15 years ago. As it happens, we’re now having the most successful tour in the band’s history, the band is a global phenomenon, and in the same year, we get to release a feature film, followed shortly afterwards by another feature film with a documentary, DVD, all the rest of it. Fucking hell, it looks like a plan. It’s not. It’s totally random.

Looks like Iron Maiden is having a great big party that is lasting for more than a quarter of a century.
