Ready for a date with Ed?

Here is a chance to get up close and personal with Iron Maiden with PVR Pictures’ release of the concert film Flight 666 on May 8.

Twenty-three concerts in five continents across 50,000 miles is encapsulated in Flight 666, a documentary based on the iconic British rock band, Iron Maiden. Flight 666 is a Banger Films, Phantom Music Management and EMI Music production in association with Arts Alliance Media.

The filmfeatures the Mumbai concert as the opening shot.

A revealing portrait of one of the world’s most successful rock bands “Flight 666” is an inspirational and often humorous account of the chaotic world of a band on tour around the stadiums of the world.

The band flew in a specially customised Boeing 757 airliner, Christened Ed Force One piloted by lead singer Bruce Dickinson, with the entire tour crew and 12 tons of music and stage equipment on board, to 23 sold out stadium and arena shows in Asia, Australia and North, Central and South America. The movie gives an inside the scenes look at what happened on and off stage, when Maiden gave full access to a film crew for the first time ever, and contains some spectacular live footage.

The film is produced by celebrated award–winning film makers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn of Banger Productions, based in Toronto, Canada, who have received international critical acclaim for their previous movies, Metal: A Headbangers Journey and Global Metal.
