April 9, 2009

SwordLord Productions of Minnesota has received last-minute permission to screen the highly anticipated "Flight 666" documentary film chronicling IRON MAIDEN's 2008 tour which covered 50,000 miles, 5 continents and 23 concerts in a mere 45 days!

"Flight 666" will be shown on its national premiere day — Tuesday, April 21 — at 9:30 p.m. at the Riverview Theatre in Minneapolis located at 3800 42nd Avenue South.

SwordLord Productions chose the Riverview Theatre, a beautifully restored 1948 vintage one-screen movie theatre featuring 700 seats, a large screen and state of the art digital sound, because of its outstanding atmosphere and unprecedented quality of presentation.

"If ever there was a way to experience this incredible film, this theatre will provide it!" commented Nathan Block, CEO of SwordLord Productions. "This theatre provides a superior viewing experience and will be the place to go to see 'Flight 666' on April 21!"

For "Iron Maiden: Flight 666", IRON MAIDEN was accompanied everywhere by award-winning documentary makers Banger Productions from Toronto in Canada, who have received international critical acclaim for their previous movies "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" and recently "Global Metal". Producer/presenter Sam Dunn and his team bring an intimate, behind-the-scenes view of this remarkable journey, with a close look at the logistics involved and following Team Maiden in the cockpit, on the plane and on and offstage, getting to the heart of this global adventure of a band that has very rarely even let cameras backstage before.

Shot in high definition and with superb 5.1 surround sound, mixed by the band's producer Kevin "Caveman" Shirley, "Flight 666" brings to the screen all the drama, excitement and hysteria that followed the band around the world every time Ed Force One (the band's plane) touched down in a new country. The film documents the intensity of the punishing show schedules, the struggle with the time zones, the pressures of ensuring that every performance matched the energy of the many thousands of ecstatic and expectant fans from many cultural backgrounds, unusual angles from the spectacular shows... and, of course, the fun had on the way!
