Iron Maiden Documentary ‘Burning Ambition’ Coming to Theaters This May

Of all the heavy metal bands to make it big and stand the test of time, few have done more and remained iconic than Iron Maiden. And when you’re as big and iconic as they are, you naturally get a feature length documentary made up about your career spanning five decades.

Titled Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition, the documentary was announced earlier today by Trafalgar Releasing. Coming to theaters for a limited run starting on May 7, the documentary directed by Malcolm Venville and produced by Dominic Freeman follows the band’s rise from playing small London pubs to massive global stadiums.

Folks familiar with the documentary say it aims to cover “one of the most iconic journeys in music history,” noting everything that made the band’s bombastic and explosive tunes leave an indelible mark on rock and metal as a whole. Oh and you can’t forget about their mascot Eddie.

Along with the band’s own self-reflection on their career, the documentary will feature on-screen interviews with famous fans like Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich and Chuck D.

The documentary will hit right as the band will be in the middle of their two-year Run For Your Lives world tour. These guys don’t slow down ever, so chances are you’ll be able to catch Iron Maiden in the flesh before the year is over.

For more information about the flick and to sign up for regular updates, you can head over to the documentary’s official website.
