Kevin Eastman talked to FilmSchoolRejects and announced a few new directors for the new version of Heavy Metal, the film that introduced many a young nerd to the idea that animation could be used for breasts. Here's the updated roster, with the new directors marked with profanity:
• James fucking Cameron
• David fucking Fincher
• Zack Snyder
• Gore Verbinski
• Mark Osborne (from Kung Fu Panda) and Jack Black
...and, apparently, more to come. This is such an impressive roster that I just can't imagine them ever actually sitting down and making actual Heavy Metal sequences. I'm just going to forget this news ever existed. Then, if it actually does get made, I can just be pleasantly surprised.

I hope it’s like the original and not like Heavy Metal 2000. I liked the second movie but it was nowhere near as good as the original.

FUCK YES!!!!!I read in Empire that Fincher's pretty serious about this...I would give one of my kidney's to see a David Fincher directed Heavy Metal. James Cameron would be pretty awesome to, but he needs to stop dicking around(sorry Avatar) and make Battle Angel first.
Oh, and what Rob means when he says he might be "pleasantly surprised" really translates to: "This could possibly be the most bad ass movie ever made, I dont care if you fuckos have to hold up a liquor store, hitchhike, whore yourself out for ticket money or sell your soul..you will see this movie!goddamn my nipples are getting hard just thinking about it."

I just realized that I've gone from being excited about Jack Black being in things, to kind of disappointed.
lou-bert vs. q-bert said:
emerson999, you read my mind. Everyone on that list is pure gold except Jack Black's involvement.

a lot of those guys sound too serious for a cartoon about rock music, space ships, and big cans.
McTool said:
Jack Black is good in things relating to rock music that let him just go nuts. He's bad in things relating to anything else that try to restrain him in some way.

NO ONE is too serious for rock music, spaceships, and big titties.

they'd need to be high on drugs and listen to heavy metal while making it, just as our wise forefather once did with the original. no blue collar, nine-to-five balogna.

This is AWESOME!!!!! I can't wait! The classic kicks ass!

I was excited right up until I saw the name Jack Black. BARF. That guy is an over rated tool.
Nothing will ever match the original film. That soundtrack was off the hook.

Is it weird that I'm a hetero woman who absolutely loves Heavy Metal (HM 2000, not so much)? Because I do. It'd be hard to match the awesome of the first movie, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
bort said:
How bout Trey Parker and Matt Stone- they did the Major Boobage episode based on Heavy Metal. Also, this one needs as much or more Blue Oyster Cult as the first one. And as awesome as this and Avatar are prob. going to be, I CANNOT WAIT for Battle Angel.
Reese said:
As much as people complain about Jack Black's involvement, kepler's ghost makes a good point to say that the other directors arn't really known for this type of film.
JB could add some of the campy silliness that took up about half of the first film.
tvtastegood said:
I am inclined to agree with reese that JB would be able to bring some of the original movies' best qualities to the screen in the new one, otherwise he is an over rated tool. As for the other directors mentioned all I have to say about it is and I quote "FUCK and YES!!!"

HM is being animated by Blur Studio (we did the Star Wars: The Old Republic cinematic you guys posted last week). The production artwork up on the walls here is amazing. I don't think fans of science fiction / animation will be disappointed.

Please, not another Heavy Metal 2000
