Hide your kids, cover your wives, and put away your passion for jesus, here come the debil. Um, ok where wuz i? Oh yah, they are making a movie about aliester crowley later this yr. Here are some excerpts of the blurb.
SANTA MONICA , Ca (Market Wire) - Michael Schrager of The Dominion Entertainment Group and Patricia Baker of The Big Picture Agency LLC have teamed to bring "Aleister Crowley: Revolt of the Magicians," the spellbinding screenplay based on the life of Aleister Crowley, to the big screen. The screenplay of the occult world's most controversial figure is written by internationally renown occult author and Crowley expert, Lon DuQuette, and Jim Bratkowsky of Cinemagic.
Crowley's character was enhanced by the company he kept -- Bram Stoker, William Butler Yeats and actress Florence Farr, to name a few. Aleister is also listed as one of the "Top 100 Brits," sandwiched between Robert Bruce and Henry V, however, newspapers of the time called him 'the wickedest man in the world.'
Aleister was born into a family of Plymouth Brethren, a strict Christian sect in Leamington Spa, England. During his 72 earthly years, (1875 - 1947), he indelibly imprinted himself on the Western Magickal Tradition and to many, he was the Western Magickal Tradition. "Choosing which part of his life story to tell was the most challenging part of this project.
"Aleister's legacy attracts many new converts to the Occult even today,"

'Course these things are sometimes postponed or even shelved.
He had an interesting life: born rich, he spent all in the exploration of occult spirituality, sex, drugs (no rock and roll back then). He put together a book on egyptian astrology that is supposed to contain some very nice art. Some people still follow his book of the law. One of his associates, parsons, was a rocket propulsion wiz, working for the american govt. Another associate, l ron hubbard wrote tons of science fiction, then turned sf into a money making religion.
