November 28, 2008

"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 — premiered at France's Cannes Film Festival in May 2008. A 10-minute interview with the pair conducted in Cannes can be viewed below.

Bruce Dickinson was in Paris, France on Wednesday (November 26) to promote the DVD release of "Chemical Wedding". The screening and press conference were held in a private cinema in front of Europe 1 radio near the Champs Elysées. Check out a photo at this location.

A UK TV commercial for the DVD release of "Chemical Wedding" can be viewed below.

According to Variety, Cinema Management Group has closed key deals in major territories on "Chemical Wedding".

Starz/Anchor Bay Entertainment is set to handle distribution in the U.S. and Canada, while Universal Pictures Video will cover France, Belgium and the Netherlands for an early 2009 release.

Video footage of Dickinson in Cannes promoting the "Chemical Wedding" movie can be seen on the BBC News web site.

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".
