‘Chemical Wedding’ will be introduced by co-writer Bruce Dickinson, writer/director Julian Doyle and star Simon Callow followed by an audience Q&A.
Based on an original screenplay by Bruce Dickinson, front man of the legendary heavy metal band Iron Maiden, and Julian Doyle, veteran Monty Python second unit director/editor, Chemical Wedding is a supernatural occult thriller inspired by the life and works of Aleister Crowley. Once dubbed ‘the most evil man in Britain’, Crowley was a major Edwardian figure and a scandalous character. Originally a Trinity College Cambridge graduate, he later became an infamous mystic and occult scholar, his entire life a celebration of decadence and, to some, evil.
Starring Simon Callow, Kal Weber, Lucy Cuddon, Jud Charlton, Paul McDowell, John Shrapnel, Richard Franklin, Terence Bayler and Robert Ashby, Chemical Wedding is directed by Julian Doyle (Brazil, The Meaning Of Life, Time Bandits, Life Of Brian, Monty Python & The Holy Grail) and features a musical score by Bruce Dickinson.
Chemical Wedding is distributed by Warner Music Entertainment UK and will open at UK cinemas on 30th May 2008.
