Iron Maiden frontman?s WEDDING starts rolling

Screen Daily recently reported that CHEMICAL WEDDING, a long-mooted supernatural thriller scripted by Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson, is finally rolling under the direction of Julian Doyle, editor of Terry Gilliam?s BRAZIL and TIME BANDITS. Produced by London-based Focus Films, the movie stars Simon Callow as a Cambridge professor who becomes a reincarnation of notorious occultist Aleister Crowley (a role that, at various points, Malcolm McDowell and Roger Daltrey were said to be attached to); John (MIRRORS) Shrapnel, Kal Weber, Terence Bayler and Geoff Breton also star. Dickinson, who released the pictured solo album of the same title in 1998, will also provide the film?s soundtrack. ?Michael Gingold

Ya hablé del disco hace dos años y medio, y me reafirmo en todas y cada una de mis pomposas aseveraciones, por lo que la película tendrá que superar un listón altísimo para mí.

La página oficial de Iron Maiden ofrecía ayer algo más de información sobre la película:

Chemical Wedding – The Movie
Published: August 28, 2007

Filming of the supernatural horror thriller CHEMICAL WEDDING is well underway.  Based on an original screenplay by Bruce Dickinson, the film directed by Julian Doyle, veteran second unit director and editor of Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, Time Bandits and Monty Python’s The Life of Brian. Julian wrote and directed Maiden’s partially animated promotional video ‘Can I Play With Madness’.

Chemical Wedding stars Simon Callow as a reincarnation of Aleister Crowley, dubbed ‘the most evil man in Britain.’

Crowley was a major Edwardian figure and a scandalous character. A Cambridge graduate, he became an infamous mystic and occult scholar and although he died in 1947, his books are still in print and he remains a major focus for the occult world.  In the film, Crowley’s spirit is re-animated by a superconductor mainframe, transforming the shy and stuttering Professor Haddo (Callow) into the charismatic but sexually depraved Crowley who wreaks havoc with the students and faculty of today’s Cambridge campus.  The cast will be rounded out with cameos from Dickinson and other Python regulars. 

The film should be released sometime in 2008 with Bruce supervising the soundtrack.
