Iron Maiden legend Bruce Dickinson has co-written a horror movie, which will be premiered at the Cannes Film Festival later this spring.

The singer wrote the script for the movie Chemical Wedding alongside its director Julian Doyle.

The film is about the exploits of a character called Professor Haddo (played by Simon Callow), who is a reincarnation of ‘Britain’s most evil man’ Aleister Crowley.

For the Cannes premiere in May, trained pilot Dickinson is looking to personally fly out his close family and friends to the launch. We wonder what Thom Yorke would have to say about his carbon footprint?!

Chemical Wedding is released in British cinemas this coming summer.
