Iron Maiden Documentary to Celebrate 50 Years of Heavy Metal Legacy

The film, directed by Malcolm Venville, will feature rare footage, animated sequences, and the final interview with original vocalist Paul Di’Anno.

Iron Maiden's official documentary, marking their 50th anniversary, is set for an international cinema release this fall, though U.S. distribution details remain unconfirmed.
Directed by Malcolm Venville, the film explores the band's journey from their 1975 formation to becoming global heavy metal icons, with contributions from fans and prominent figures like Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich, and Gene Simmons.
The documentary includes rare archival footage, animated segments featuring their mascot Eddie, and the final interview with original vocalist Paul Di’Anno, who passed away last year.
The project was made with unrestricted access to the band and their fans, aiming to highlight Iron Maiden's cultural impact and enduring legacy.
Iron Maiden will also celebrate their milestone with a new visual book, 'Infinite Dreams,' and the 'Run for Your Lives' world tour, which begins in May and focuses on songs from their first nine albums.
