James Cameron To Direct Heavy MetalBy Josh Tyler: 2009-06-07 00:29:40
We’ve known for awhile now that some of Hollywood’s most powerful genre directors are collectively working on a new Heavy Metal movie, though when or how it might happen has remained hidden. Well add another name to the Heavy Metal director list, which already included David Fincher, Gore Verbinski, Zack Snyder, and Kevin Eastmen. Now James Cameron is in.
It was Eastman who leaked the news of Cameron's involvement to FSR. He tells them, “Fincher and James Cameron are going to be Co-Executive Producers on the film. Fincher will direct one. Cameron will direct one. Zack Snyder is going to direct one and Gore Verbinski is going to. Mark Osborne and Jack Black from Tenacious D are going to do a comedy segment for the film.” They’re not stopping there either. Eastman says they'll have three more big name directors to announce at some point down the road. Heavy Metal started out as a magazine which mixed science fiction and fantasy storytelling with hand-drawn erotica. Think bosomy babes in various, clingy, fantasy outfits. Later, in 1981, it became an animated movie composed of short science fiction and fantasy stories adapted from the magazine. With experienced, R-rated genre directors like Snyder and Cameron involved, there's actually a pretty good chance here that this new version may retain much of the kinky, edgy flavor of previous incarnations.
