BRUCE DICKINSON's 'Chemical Wedding' Movie To Be Screened At Israel's ICON Festival
September 28, 2009"Chemical Wedding" — the supernatural horror-thriller written by IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson and longtime "Monty Python" editor Julian Doyle, who also directed the film — will be screened during ICon, the Israeli science fiction and fantasy fan convention held annually in the Tel Aviv Cinemateque during the Sukkot holiday.
Tomer Shalev, ICon festival co-ordinator, said, "We are very excited to host the first theatrical screening of the film in the Middle East."
The screenings will take place on Monday, October 5 at midnight and Friday, October 9 at 5:00 p.m. at the Tel-Aviv Cinematheque, 2 Shprinzak St., Tel Aviv.
Doyle announced that he would attend the screenings as he was fascinated to see what they would make of this very English film which deals with the eccentric and weird Englishman, Aleister Crowley.
"Chemical Wedding" was released in the U.S. under the title "Crowley" on DVD via Anchor Bay.
Dickinson is not the first rocker to be inspired by Crowley, who died in 1947. LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page was a big collector of Crowley's writings and even bought his Scottish estate. OZZY OSBOURNE, meanwhile, eulogized him in the song "Mr. Crowley".
