Iron Maiden are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, as the band was founded in 1975. And you won’t just be able to celebrate with them on the Run For Your Lives World Tour, but also in cinemas. This autumn, Iron Maiden will release a brand-new documentary film, offering deep insights into the band’s long history.
As a fan, you can look forward to plenty of interviews, the story of Eddie, and appearances from musicians like Lars Ulrich (Metallica) and Gene Simmons (Kiss). There’s no exact release date or title yet, but there's still time before autumn.
Here is the complete official announcement from Iron Maiden themselves:
"In celebration of 50 epic years, Iron Maiden are excited to announce that an official feature documentary about the band will be released later this year!
Created in partnership with Universal Pictures Content Group the long-awaited documentary is an emotive journey through Iron Maiden’s 50 Year history told from the perspective of both the band and some of their most devoted followers - from longstanding superfans to film and music icons such as Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich and Gene Simmons. The documentary will also feature exclusive interviews with pivotal band members including the final interview with original vocalist, Paul Di’Anno who sadly passed away last year.
Featuring rare archival footage, including spectacular animation of our iconic mascot, Eddie, the film explores how Iron Maiden has helped shape a cultural movement, challenging conventional views of rock music and heavy metal’s broader impact on society and culture."
