Strange Angel (2018)

[surreal]

Just wanted to start a thread preemptively as this starts in a couple of weeks -very much looking forward as I've been meaning to read the book for ages.

Based on George Pendle's book of the same name, Strange Angel follows the real-life story of Jack Parson (Jack Reynor) a factory worker in 1930s Los Angeles who dreams of building rockets that will take a human being to the moon. As he helps pioneer the unknown discipline of rocket science by day, by night, Parsons is pulled into Crowley's new occult religion that includes performing sex magick rituals to bend the world to his will and make his fantastical dreams a reality. The trailer blends all of this together  — and it is certainly strange as the title suggests.

I wasn't aware of this at all until now but it does look like it could be something all a bit special.

What these forums have helped me a lot. Would you recommend a source?

Should have been called Strangel.

Could be interesting but looks like a gawd fearin murican morality tale.

I am currently as close to excited as I get.
The tale of Marvel Whiteside Parsons should make for brilliant TV (Strange Angel and Sex and Rockets are both excellent books; I wasn't so taken with one I've read on his wife, Marjorie Cameron, but she had a very interesting life, too.)
