In CHEMICAL WEDDING, modern technology succeeds in joining the body of a professor (Simon Callow) with the spirit of famed occultist Aleister Crowley. Using a virtual reality suit, Crowley's soul is reborn in the professor, and it uses its new physical state to begin Satanic rites, including the Chemical Wedding. Unlikely collaborators unite to create this dark gothic film: British actor Callow, best known for light comedies and Merchant Ivory productions, takes the lead role; Julian Doyle, an editor famous for his work with the Monty Python troupe, directs; and Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson co-wrote the script with Doyle.
