The trailer looks great. But this is different than the official isnt it?

A few pages back, I tried to elaborate what "Burning ambition" could really mean in a broader cultural perspective if you want to portray a band that's been doing it for more than 50 years, but this trailer pretty much gives it all away: it's the story of Iron Maiden (again). You won't be contemplating much over it. I'll definately go and I'll enjoy it, but as a *documentary* It'll eventually be forgotten.

Yes it is a different edit and is better I think.

I mean,this is the official film from iron maiden? Or is another film. How many documentals are going to show?

Soooo.... After watching the trailer I find myself wondering is this just a rehash of maiden part 1,2 and 3? with a little bit of info from when adrian and bruce left, and I'd rather of had history of maiden part 4 and 5 then just a rehash of things we all pretty much know already, right?

Not overly concerned with facts then I guess.

they tried to fill the drama gap with the chaos addiction of paul, trauma of the long road during World Slavery, the grunge attack in the early 90's, bruce's departure and cancer throat...
not every story has to be full drama, i'm ok with it. but i think the real drama in maiden's history is clive. i hope his story is mentioned in the doc.

It is the official documentary that is going to be in cinemas in many countries all over the world.

It DOES feel strange even in the trailer not having cuts of band memebers talking. If the whole docu is like that, well.. It's going to be very strange indeed.I’m going out on a limb here and predicting that the whole movie will just be a mix of live footage, with only the band members’ voices heard. Imagine the outrage.

I dont know i saw somewhere just 3 of them.

Yes, from the Maiden camp. They are all credited.
And I'm sure the boys will appear in the movie with recent interview footage as well. There's constant archival footage throughout the trailer, when Maiden were much younger. No need to also show their current faces at that part. Especially, when lots of lines were cut in a way to make the story much more dramatic than it actually was. Let's not forget, such trailers are there to generate interest and hype.

I now have the shitty narration from the old ‘Behind the Music’ documentaries in my head.
“Following the successful tour of Europe, the band had the United States in their sights. It looked like Iron Maiden would actually be checking into hotels in California. Unfortunately for Dennis Stratton this would not be the case”
