UNIVERSAL PICTURES CONTENT GROUP ANNOUNCE OFFICIAL UNTITLED IRON MAIDEN FEATURE DOCUMENTARY IN 2025

Featuring exclusive interviews with band members past and present, never seen before footage, and brings their iconic mascot Eddie to life with spectacular animation

Universal Pictures Content Group announce it has commenced production on an official untitled Iron Maiden feature documentary. Universal Pictures Content Group hold global rights and Universal Pictures International is set to release in cinemas internationally in Autumn 2025, coinciding with the band’s 50th anniversary year.  US theatrical distribution is yet to be confirmed.

The long-awaited documentary is an emotive journey through Iron Maiden’s 50 Year history told from the perspective of both the band and some of their most devoted followers - from longstanding superfans to established names from the worlds of film and music such as Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich and Gene Simmons.  The documentary will also feature exclusive interviews with pivotal band members including the final interview with original vocalist, Paul Di'Anno, who sadly died last year.

Featuring rare archival footage and all-new animated sequences of the band's legendary mascot, Eddie, the film offers a unique visual experience that highlights Iron Maiden’s widespread impact and the strong connection between the band and their truly global army of fans.  The film also explores the cultural movement Iron Maiden has helped shape and their enduring legacy in both music and fan culture, challenging common perceptions of the wider significance of rock music and heavy metal.

Iron Maiden were formed in east London 50 years ago in 1975 and were seen to pioneer the globally inspiring new wave of British heavy metal movement.  They have sold well over 100 million records worldwide, performing more than 2500 concerts in 64 countries across 6 continents.  Later this year they will add to this number as they embark on their huge Run For Your Lives Tour starting in Budapest, Hungary in May.

Helen Parker - Executive Vice President, Universal Pictures Content Group and Exec Producer said: “We’re thrilled Iron Maiden have entrusted us to bring their legacy to cinemas around the world.  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.”

Rod Smallwood – Manager, Iron Maiden said: “We’re proud Universal Pictures Content Group has chosen to share the unique story of Iron Maiden with the world. We have given them unrestricted access to the band, our 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.”

The official untitled Iron Maiden documentary is directed by Malcolm Venville (Churchill at War) and produced by Dominic Freeman (Spirits in the Forest – A Depeche Mode Film). EVP Universal Pictures Content Group Helen Parker (Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes) serves as Exec Producer.

Motograter have released a new 30 minute, career-spanning video that chronicles the band's entire history. The band was famously fronted by former member Ivan Moody (Five Finger Death Punch) but has since resurrected and made a full comeback with James Anthony Legion at the helm. The video was edited by Noah "Shark" Robertson.

Robertson states, "I wanted to put something together that told the story of Motograter, from the past to the present. The band's history is an epic tale and it's a story that needed to be told. For the new fans and old fans, alike."

1995 to Present Day - Over 20 years of MOTO MADNESS! The Moto Gears Keep Turning! For a more comprehensive understanding, and perhaps deeper appreciation for the band Motograter, watch this 30 minute documentary that spans the group's entire history.

Gravitas Ventures announced today that they have acquired the North American theatrical, VOD, and DVD rights to BACKSTREET BOYS: SHOW 'EM WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF, an emotionally open and honest documentation of the biggest selling boy band of all time. The film was directed by Stephen Kijak (STONES IN EXILE, SCOTT WALKER: 30 CENTURY MAN) and stars original group members Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson, all of whom were producers on the film along with Mia Bays. Gravitas has scheduled a Theatrical and Video-On-Demand release for January 30.

BACKSTREET BOYS: SHOW 'EM WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF is a surprising and rewarding journey filmed over 2 years that delves into the extremes of fame, fortune, betrayal and renewal. The documentary follows the members as they share their lives with us and relive their journey together, revealing new and old tensions that need confronting and resolving.

"From 1992 to 2002 we were the biggest band in the world. No one thought it was going to be as big as it was," says Brian Littrell who goes on to say "Then it just stopped. And what do you do when you're a full grown man in a boy band?"  

The multiple award winning and Grammy-nominated group has sold 130 million records worldwide and is recognized as the best-selling boy band in history. Not only have their first 9 albums all debuted in the top 10 on the Billboard Top 100 but they have gone gold and platinum in 46 countries. The Backstreet Boys are the only group in Canadian history to have 3 consecutive diamond albums commemorating sales of over 10 million records and they hold 2 diamond awards in the US. The group also made history when their anticipated 11-week, 39-city 1999-2000 North American MILLENNIUM arena tour sold out within the first hour. The Backstreet Boys continue to be an essential figure in pop culture receiving a star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013.

"Gravitas Ventures is very excited to be part of BACKSTREET BOYS: SHOW 'EM WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF" commented Julie Candelaria, Vice President of Marketing, Gravitas Ventures. "The Backstreet Boys are not only pop icons, but legends in the music space. We are thrilled to share this highly anticipated story of their incredible journey."

The documentary will have its world television premiere as part of the Emmy Award-winning "VH1 Rock Docs" franchise slated to debut on VH1 Spring of 2015.
