On July 28, join The Disinformation Company as they raise the dark veil on one of the most notorious individuals in British history with In Search of the Great Beast 666, a compelling documentary debuting on DVD. Voiced by acting legend Joss Ackland (Watership Down, Lethal Weapon 2, White Mischief & The Hunt For Red October) with a soundtrack from Yes' Rick Wakeman, this vivid portrayal unearths the barely believable and shocking facts surrounding Aleister Crowly, an infamous Occultist, Spy, Poet, Dark Magician, Hedonist, Writer and accomplished Mountaineer. Through dramatically reconstructed and lavish period scenes, this biographical film explores the boundaries of the “Beast 666” a man who is not only said to have inspired the free-love movement, but also through his literature is notorious for replacing the Ten Commandments with just one: “do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.” Under various guises and camouflaged by pseudonyms, Crowley travelled the world in his quest for supreme knowledge and ultimate power through the Occult. He reveled in what some describe as acts of sexual decadence yet recognized by others as extreme depravity. And his influence on modern culture is evident yet his reputation remains shrouded in a veil of infamy.

coldblood 3:29am, July 26, 2009 I love documentaries like this. I'll be picking this one up also.

hippo 5:28pm, July 28, 2009 I would pick this up just for the musical score. Rick wakeman has been one of my favorite musicians since he was in Yes. There's too much mystery aound Crowley, no one knows much about him, but his wives either committed suicide or ended up in mental hospitals. He must have used them hard, if you know what I mean.
