Iron Maiden: Flight 666, the documentary following the band Iron Maiden on tour in early 2008, will be screened for one day only on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 in more than 450 special digital movie theaters in 42 countries.
For a list of theaters showing the film, visit: ironmaiden.com/flight666.
Iron Maiden: Flight 666 will then be released on extended Blu-ray and DVD formats, alongside a double-CD soundtrack album and limited edition double-vinyl picture disc which will be available Tuesday, June 9.
Directed by Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen, the film provides an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the band during the first leg of their Somewhere Back In Time tour, which spanned 23 shows and 13 countries in 45 days back in February/March 2008. The tour took them 50,000 miles round the planet playing 23 concerts on five continents in just 45 days. One of the stars of the movie is the band’s customized Boeing 757, Ed Force One, which carried the band, all their crew, and 12 tons of stage equipment and was piloted by Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, a fully qualified and active Airline Captain with Astraeus Airlines.
A second disc of the entire set from the 2008 segment of this tour will be included with the DVD (and long-play Blu-ray). Sixteen songs from sixteen different cities in eleven countries around the world, for the first time ever encompassing such varied places and cultures in one concert. UMe will release a special souvenir Limited Edition Deluxe DVD with 26-page booklet, after which it will be available as a standard double DVD version. The soundtrack audio version of the live show will be available on a double CD, as a limited edition vinyl set with two picture discs, and a digital download especially for those fans who do not have DVD access or just want to enjoy the show as a great live album.
The DVD/Blu-ray will be subtitled in Hindi, Japanese, Dutch, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Swedish.

I am going to have to wait for the DVD. I really wanted to see it in theaters but Vermont doesn’t have much in the way of such things. Love the coverage of metal bands on Geeks of Doom, though. Thank gorsh fro Emperess Eve!
