50th Anniversary Documentary Announcement

As far as I know, the production team has done an excellent job on this forthcoming documentary. They are well credentialed and have produced some good non maiden content that (as far as I know) has done well to get onto major streaming platforms.

This is the reality today BTW, major distribution via streaming. Long gone are the Early Days DVD projects from the early 2000s. Or even the Flight 666 and En Vivo movies from the late 2010s, when Rod clearly had spare cash and paid Banger Films for the latter two.

This one is not on Banger Films of course, so no Sam Dunn.

I'd expect a very slick product this time, primed for wide audiences, from what I know about this documentary.

I remember hearing rumblings about a doc around the release of Senjutsu, possibly earlier.

Yep Steve thanked all the old school members in the booklet, and had met them in his house in Essex a few months before that. A documentary wasnt necessarily mentioned, but there was rumblings that this was to do with some project Steve was working on.

It definitely fits in with 50th anniversary stuff happening now

So good to hear that, so we're waiting.

I think someone said it here. Wasn't there a photo with Dave Lights? Also, Steve's thanks in the liner notes of the latest album. Lots of people are involved, right.

Exactly. But they don't believe in DVDs anymore. Touring and merch, yes.

Aaand maybe that's why they don't want to be that creative with such stuff, they can for sure with artworks and stuff. For albums CD package too.

There's a chance, why not. I guess they're saving some stuff for later. The first big production release since 2012 sounds wrong for a band like Maiden, I have to say.

Oh ok ok. I thought it was official news... Well, loads of people are participating in the documentary... The full thing is going to be epic
 
Was there not chat that the photo from Steve's house with the Early Days guys was to do with writing credits for the old tunes? Some golden discs may have been handed out. Am I making that up?

But yeah, all the extra names in Steve's 'thank you' list was interesting. It pointed to some kinda big project or retirement, or both.

Maybe the documentary hadn't started but Steve had sounded out all the participants, hence the thanks.

Some early members did indeed receive gold discs, including Mad Mac, who posted on here somewhere recently.

Didn't know that. Suppose to head off more “serial litigant” Barry Mackay action?
