Iron Maiden will release a new documentary film featuring the final interview from former frontman Paul Di’Anno.

The new film will be released to celebrate 50 years since the English heavy metal band was formed in Leyton, East London, in 1975 by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris and has been made in collaboration with Universal Pictures Content Group.

The film will go through the band’s 50-year history from the perspective of Iron Maiden and some of their longstanding super fans including celebrities Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich and Gene Simmons.

It will feature interviews with band members including original vocalist Paul Di’Anno, who died in 2024.

The film also explores the cultural movement Iron Maiden has helped shape and their enduring legacy in music and fan culture.

“We’re thrilled Iron Maiden have entrusted us to bring their legacy to cinemas around the world,” executive producer Helen Parker said.

“Working closely with the band and their passionate fans has been an unrivalled experience allowing us to tell their story in a unique way and celebrate their incomparable, fearless creativity in their 50th anniversary year.”

Iron Maiden’s manager Rod Smallwood said the band gave Universal Pictures Content Group “unrestricted access” to the band, its fans and musical peers.

“We trust that they will excite not only music fans but also anyone who loves a story of an underdog beating the odds to become and remain one of Britain’s biggest musical exports since our first record released 45 years ago,” he said.
