Iron Maiden announce documentary

By | Published on Thursday 22 January 2009

British metal legends Iron Maiden have announced details of their first fly-on-the-wall documentary, which will be screened in cinemas from 21 Apr.

The film, ‘Flight 666’, follows the band as they flew around the world in their very own jumbo jet (frontman Bruce Dickinson works as a commercial pilot as a hobby) during last year’s ‘Somewhere Back In Time’ tour.

Speaking to Kerrang!, Dickinson said: “‘Flight 666’ is a snapshot of life in a rock band. We’ve never given anybody access to everything and they had access to everything, 24/7. When we went out for a beer, they’d be there. The only thing they didn’t do was film us having a shit”.

He also revealed that the band haven’t seen the finished product yet, instead waiting to see it on the big screen. He said: “I’ve got no idea what it’s going to be like. I genuinely have no idea. So I’m just waiting to see what they make of us”.
