Bruce Dickinson, frontman of Iron Maiden and all around cool guy, wrote a script a long time ago to go along with his solo album, Chemical Wedding, and now it’s going in front of cameras under the direction of Brazil and Erik the Viking editor Julian Doyle. Simon Callow stars as a Cambridge professor who one day realizes he’s a reincarnation of notorious Satanist Aleister Crowley.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this one, rest assured!
