Bruce Dickinson to make Aleister Crowley film

Man, ol’ Bruce just keeps adding to his legend status. Not content with singing in the best band ever ( :P ), writing books and airlifting civilians out of Lebanon,

According to U.K.-based music journalist Dave Ling, IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson’s film about occult legend Aleister Crowley (infamous as “the wickedest man in the world”) will shortly go into production, with Simon Callow (IMDb) — of “Amadeus”, “Shakespeare in Love” and, appropriately, “The Phantom of the Opera” — set for the title role. “Dickinson has spent 12 years working on this project, and is understandably thrilled to get it moving at last,” says Ling.
