For all fans of classic heavy metal, there’s a great reason to head back to the cinema soon. On May 7, the new Iron Maiden documentary “Burning Ambition” will hit theaters. The film features band members Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Bruce Dickinson, Nicko McBrain, and Janick Gers, as well as their longtime manager Rod Smallwood—but that’s far from the full cast. Guest appearances include Lars Ulrich of Metallica, actor Javier Bardem, and many more.

The film was produced by Dominic Freeman, who is also known for “Spirits In The Forest – A Depeche Mode Film.”
