Omega misspelled everybody's name, from what I can tell, except Kinski's.  
She's the big star, so they'd better get that one correct, right? ;)  Did I 
post the wrong link?  The movie page had more links with photos and so on.

RE THE CHEMICAL WEDDING: It seems to be languishing about (like many UK film 
ideas) waiting for financing.  Bruce Dickinson wrote the screenplay based on 
his album of the same name, which also includes poetry by William Blake.  
I'm not much into sacred, esoteric traditions myself, but as I understand 
it, the title refers to the marriage of body and soul.  If you're interested 
in the original document, you can order a translation:

If you're ho-hum about esoteric documents, you can instead review the lyrics 
to Dickinson's album: http://www.delta.se/~henke/bruce/tcwlyr.html

Here's an announcement of the movie that gives more detail.  Apparently they 
did a couple of videos based on the album, and now are attempting to make 
the film.  Iron Maiden is planning do the soundtrack. (Any fans out there?) 
It says here that casting is undetermined, but if Roger is putting it into 
his credit info, you'd gather that he's committed to doing it when/if they 
get the production together.
