Heavy Metal 2000 sucked harder than the cold vacuum of space. An A-list Heavy Metal 3 should be pretty awesome. | | Static Link |

Moebius is a cornerstone of the mag's popularity and it'd be sad if he never got a mention in one of the films. | | Static Link |

Plus, being animated by Blur. Also very nice. And intended to be R. Pretty much seals the deal for me | | Static Link |

Not to mention the fact that it has some of my favourite rock tunes of all-time! This movie is actually the reason why I have a terrible fear of green orbs! | | Static Link |

I think Fincher should go ahead with other projects like Black Hole or Torso cause this seems like a waste of time for him. He could do better IMO. | | Static Link |

Heavy Metal 2000 was o.k. but not as great as the original even that was adapted from a story published by the magazine. | | Static Link |

"Heavy Metal" will be stamped by the erotic and violent storylines and images that remain the trademark of a magazine that debuted in the U.S. in 1977. The mag introduced the works of American artists and writers such as Robert Silverberg, Harlan Ellison and H.R. Giger. The film will consist of eight or nine individual animated segments, each of which will be directed by a different helmer. Fincher will direct one of the segments; Kevin Eastman, the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" co-creator who is now owner and publisher of Heavy Metal, will direct another. So will Tim Miller, whose Blur Studios will handle the animation for what is being conceived as an R-rated, adult-themed feature. Fincher, Eastman and Miller will produce the film. The studio will lock in the other... | | Read Entire Entry |
