Wouldn't it be cool to see Iron Maiden again in Regina? Well, it could be true. Thanks to metal fan, academic and documentary filmmaker Sam Dunn, Iron Maiden: Flight 666 - The Movie
is set to be released in theatres in April.
Dunn, already a hero among metal eggheads after his documentary Metal: A Headbangers Journey, followed Maiden on its recent Somewhere Back in Time tour, which included a stop at the Brandt Centre. I thought the show was great — after Rush, I've seen Iron Maiden more than any other band — but I was sad when I learned the Iron Maiden plane didn't make it to Regina. I visited the airport and was given some story about the airport not having the facilities to accommodate Maiden's big plane. The poor blokes had to buy a plane ticket from Edmonton, and then to Winnipeg, like regular folks.
Anyway, here's a story about the film — and if any of you have any sway at local theatres, then I urge you to pull in some favours. Seeing Maiden on the big screen would be a treat.
