Trailer Debuts for Wes Orshoski’s Paul Di’Anno Documentary, Summer Release Set

Wes Orshoski's feature chronicles Paul Di'Anno's final years, with fan-led treatment in Croatia fueling a late-career resurgence.

Overview

  • Cleopatra Entertainment will release Di’Anno: Iron Maiden’s Lost Singer worldwide this summer on streaming, DVD and Blu-ray.
  • A new trailer spotlights appearances by James Hetfield, Gene Simmons, Steve Harris and members of Exodus, Slayer, Megadeth, Overkill and Sepultura.
  • The film has screened at European festivals and was completed shortly before the singer’s death at age 66 in October 2024.
  • Shot since 2017, the documentary follows Di’Anno through pandemic-era decline to a return to the stage after relocating for care in Croatia.
  • The story foregrounds fans Kastro Pergjoni and Stjepan Juras, whose crowdfunding and advocacy arranged affordable treatment in Zagreb; his family later cited a tear in the sac around the heart as the cause of death.
