HowButWHAT?? James Cameron, David Fincher, Zack Snyder and Gore Verbinski To Co-Direct New HEAVY METAL Movie??
I am – Hercules!!
filmschoolrejects.com has news extraordinary, extraordinarily exciting and kind of unbelievable!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman tells the site that big-deal movie directors James Cameron ("Terminator," "Aliens," "Avatar"), David Fincher ("Alien3," "Fight Club," "Zodiac," "Benjamin Button"), Zack Snyder ("Dawn of the Dead," "300," "Watchmen") and Gore Verbinski ("The Ring," the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy) have all signed on to create segments for a new “Heavy Metal” movie, and that the “Kung Fu Panda” team of Mark Osborne and Jack Black will contribute a segment as well.
In addition, says Eastman:
“Three other directors have agreed but we haven’t signed them, but they’re equally as jaw-dropping. So we’re on cloud nine to be working with such an amazing amount of talent.”
Equally jaw-dropping?? Lucas?? Spielberg?? Abrams??
And how is the Ninja Turtles fellow in possession of such explosive information? Eastman purchased Heavy Metal magazine in 1992, and wrote and produced the direct-to-video sequel "Heavy Metal 2000" starring his porn-star ex-wife Julie Strain. He is credited by IMDb as "producer, director" of this new "Heavy Metal" movie.

Well, then one of them has to be McG.

I need a dude flying overhead with two guitars blazing out musical notes.

haw fuckedy haw

...anything but that
-
Star Trek was good, don't get me wrong, but Abrams is no Lucas or Spielberg. Quit smoking crack.

I hope there are lotsa cartoon boobies like the original

Funny clip here...and vote 5 stars. DJ Qualls with a mullet and cursing like a sailor.

...should be one ten minute shot, with Nick Nolte playing the voice of Loc-Nar.
-
aint it late news
-
please don't let me down Hollywood. Don't fuck up what could become a bad ass animated cult classic.
-
No good.
-
We've been discussing this in the Avatar talkback for several days already!! This site should be re-christened 'Ain't It Late News'. D- for effort.
-
Abrams is now lumped with Lucas and Spielberg? Damn...
-
Like fuck she did.
-
...in posession of this info?
According to wikipedia, and also known to anyone that still reads Heavy Metal,
"Eastman is also the current owner, editor and publisher of the magazine Heavy Metal."
If that was sarcasm from Herc, it didn't come across as such, and I didn't get it. Hooray for the internet where sarcasm might or might not come across correctly. -
Great news!!!
-
I hope her segment survives.
-
Ha, beat me to it. Didn't see that.And it's just a 'scoop' stolen from another site. Apart from the talkbacks, this site is absolutely fucking pathetic now.
-
Give that bastich a fraggin' part too.
-
Kevin Eastmond must be reading The Secret
-
Cameron's revolutionary theater seats?
-
Oh, that's right, she's not a porn star.
-
Er... because he owns the magazine maybe? You could have easily looked that info up.
-
I'm down for this.
-
..the music sucks.
-
That is a fact.
-
In the very near future, all movies will require giant robots, a cameo from either Bill Nighy or Ken Jeong, and a heat signature emanating from Jessica Alba's cooter. It's a small structural price to pay to ensure order in an ever chaotic world.BTW, Cameron's segment will probably cost $80 million and take 3-4 years to complete. He needs to bag this sideshow and get crackin' on Battle Angel Alita.
-
Yeah Lucas and Speilberg ain't got shit on Mission Ipossible 3 and Star Drek the greatest movie ever made by the way.
-
Tony and Ridley Scott should join this group of directors who are doing the new Heavey Metal film. And of course, The Nine Inch Nails should be at the top of the list of music acts on the soundtrack.
-
but not only does the music have to be right, they have to use the right stories...and they wont get away with what they did in the first movie...which had great animation, great music...but strayed so much from the original material as to be laughable...but as a kid, i didnt care
-
Duncan Jones talks about Moon
Somewhat of a throwback to classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien and Outland, it stars Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell, an astronaut stationed at a lunar mining station and coming to the end of his three-year term when he discovers he's not alone up there. -
Was it up to the standards of the original film, no...but it had its merits, the film just needed a higher budget, more kinkiness and sex, and a better soundtrack, but for a stand alone story, I thought it was pretty very entertaining.
-
dammit
-
Jaw dropping only for what a crap idea that is. Get George as far away from a camera as possible, I mean...he single handedly destroyed my childhood film favorite memories by raping Star Wars 1-3 and Indy 4. I guess that's what happens when you're too rich and powerful, everyone around you is scared shitless to say anything honest.
-
Are you serious? This film is NEVER going to happen. I'd bet money on this.
-
Gore. Zack and the other fucks are not story creators, so they are as hacky as a sack - Cameron might be able to make a cool 15 min story-- or at least Cameron 20 years ago could have. The original is so good the way it is -- and the B-52 chapter "Gremlins" is my favorite.
-
Besides, this idea sucked the first time around, didn't it?
-
1. Mike Leigh
2. Spike Lee
3. Ang Lee
wraparound comedy segments by Lars Von Trier
second unit director: Harmony Korine
that's just my guess but let's just say I have a VERY strong hunch. Mark my words.
Also, I gotta agree with the people above who said that Julie Strain is not a porn star. She's just a model with giant boobs and a millionaire nerd husband who owns the Batmobile. It's not fair to real porn stars to call somebody who hasn't done porn a porn star. -
Show me a true collaboration and add Spielberg, Gilliam and Coens into the mix!
-
So don't hate when you know you are wrong.
-
The guy knows how to direct.
-
Singer?
-
Can't wait for this, Heavy Metal has been incredibly influential on so many genre directors, nice to see such talent paying tribute in a new HM feature. Hope they draw from some of the classic stories/strips, Liberatore, Mobius, Bilal, Corben etc. Soundtrack is going to be important too, lots of classic metal and hopefully a score to rival the great Elmer Bernstein's score for the original. Stoked.
-
was crap. The art was great but the animation was pathetic compared to today, or compared to most animation of the time.

Would'nt surprise me if 'Ridders' is one of the other three
by killakane
He's a professed fan of Metal Hurlant (dating back to his RCA days) hired his hero Jean Gireud Mobius on Dune and Alien, and has recently worked with Silvian Despreux. Hoping he could find the time to get in on this, maybe make the Dan 'O bannon's/Mobius detective story that inspired the look of Blade Runner.
-
Another "news" that'll go away in two days. I'll believe it when Variety makes it official.
Also, DO NOT even suggest putting Abrams in the same league as Spielberg and Lucas. The only two guys who are in that league are Jackson and Verbinski. Both outstanding blockbuster-makers with insane visual flair (and the only two to match Spielberg and Lucas's box-office performances) -
totally idiotic. They could come up with something better than that, surely. This seems like a pretty shrewd idea. Make the original look like it was thrown together by junior high-schoolers on a 3-day weekend.
-
Jun 08, 2009 3:07:13 AM CDT
Chris Nolan, Peter Jackson and Ridley Scott for the other 3
by allpowerfulwizardofoz
and this would be beyond epic. =D
-
As long as we get some Iron fucking Maiden on the soundtrack
-
Just thought I'd throw that in there.
-
...did do a scene in one of those 1990's Penthouse vids where she played a traffic cop who pulls over a hot woman for speeding. They then do things to each other with Strain's night stick. Is the filmed insertion of non-biological objects considered porn? I would say yes.
-
...Which still makes her a porn star, in my books.

Perfect HM Score = Classic Metal & a rival comparable to Bernste
by killakane
Gotta happen, personally I'd hope for someone like Elliot Goldenthal, that would be like 'the cherry on the pie'
-
That is all.
-
Snyder, Verbinski and Abrams are jaw-dropping directors now? Placed alongside Cameron, Spielberg, Lucas and Fincher?
Give me a fucking break. Seriously.
Cool to see what Cameron and Fincher come up with though. They'll blow the 300 and Pirates guys away. -
Jun 08, 2009 3:32:18 AM CDT
How depressing! Such a great list - such a naff project!
by silentbobafett2
Why not all this guys for HEAVY METAL BLACK or METAL GEAR SOLID or SYLVANIAN FAMILIES...anything but this! What a waste of talent!
-
anymore I'd rather have Abrams someone has made at least 2 decent films this century.
-
It was published three days ago by other movie sites.
-
1) Robert Rodriguez
2) Guys who made Crank
3) George Miller
4) John Carpenter
5) Rob Zombie
Now, I'm not saying anything positive or negative about any of these directors. But you know at least one of these guys have a good chance on being on the list. They just seem to fit in more with the idea than those previously mentioned. -
and someone who has made at least 2 good movies this century.
-
a long time ago
-
seriously, you've already mentioned a few of these names already. like a year ago.
-
Pretty Please?
-
sexy ++ rich ++ hot ++ celebrity singles +++ sugar daddies and babies====
~~~SugarBabyMeet.com~~~ -
and was an Eastman story anyway.
-
Looks really good.
-
I think its called fast cars, fast women. dildo insertion. you knowledge of julie is weak.
-
He apes the Chris Farley physical humor and just makes the "crazy eyes" for laughs. He is the guy in high school that even the nerds tried to ditch. Yes, like Abe Vigoda, his career will not die. In a sick way, I respect that hack for pulling it off.

Tell Me Otomo, Oshii, Anno, Gainax, and Miike Are Involved
by laserpants
THEN I'll get excited.
-
We will probably never see a full lenght movie from him, but a Heavy Metal segment should be realistic, right?
-
even relevant anymore?
-
Love or hate his movies, but you can't deny that he is perfect for a project like this.
-
Just watch 'Das Experiment' if you don't believe me! So here are my wishes for the other three directors:
- Chris Cunningham
- Rob Zombie
- Oliver Hirschbiegel -
- Len Wiseman
- Tarantino
- Zack Sny...aw, fuck. -
He made up TMNT for christ's sake. What the fuck has Peter Laird been up to all these years though?
-
I'm gonna make my own Heavy Metal movie! (Of course under a different name, for legal reasons.) With Cunningham, Zombie, Hirschbiegel and Verhoeven. (And maybe Spike Lee too. It would be interesting to see what he would come up with.)
-
Cheques in the post. I'd pay to see anything Cunningham did.
-
of course
-
... and can someone please remove that 'Kung-Fu Panda Jack Black whatever' from this most excellent project please. Thank You.
-
What news! Awesome. James Cameron. I heard a big fish was going to be on this. I didn't realise how big!
-
http://alturl.com/gi9r
-
...so many egos and scheduling disasters waiting to happen, it will be a miracle if this thing holds together when subjected to the evil gravitational pull of the real world...would be great fun though...
-
...ever "relevant"? It's an illustrated sci-fi/fantasy magazine with boobies. The beauty of boobies is that they don't have to be relevant...and yet always are...
-
to get the TV stink off it.
-
might as well let JJ have a segment. I don't give a shit.
-
Chris Cunningham would be a fantastic choice.
-
...somehow.
-
I just re-read my copy of "The Art of Heavy Metal" last week!
-
Fincher and Cameron wouldn't touch this crap with a bargepole. I mean we are talking about arguably the two most cutting edge filmmakers in the world today. Geniuses both of them. Fincher is the Stanley Kubrick of his genration.
-
I dunno. Even an episodic cartoon doesn't need THAT many directors. Howzabout getting good animators to do it?
-
I tried really long to come up with a good sarcastic commentary to this, but in the end let me just say the good, old: "Dude, what are you smoking?"
-
If I get any emo shit, auto-tune- laden garbage, or Aerosmith, I'm throwing a fucking molotov cocktail through the theatre screen.
-
Jun 08, 2009 7:51:14 AM CDT
please get ron howard, george lucas and some other loser!
by ironic_name
-
I'm a big Fincher fan (well, until Button) but he is nowhere near on the same level as Kubrick. Nowhere.
-
He would be an inspired choice, especially if they wanted to keep a little of that early 80's camp in it.
-
Jun 08, 2009 8:11:32 AM CDT
Tyler Labine and Bret Harrison released from Reaper contracts
by palewook
without sam & sock, chances of a 3rd season are pretty much dead.
they were released from their contracts over the weekend. -
in the above posts. I'm surprised that no one mentioned Jodorowsky - whose stories featured in Heavy Metal of course. His collaboration with Moebius on a segment would really fuck one's eyeballs.
-
Btw you do realise that David Fincher has made more good movies than Cameron. That includes Alien3. Cameron has made two great movies, two good ones and two passable ones. Fincher has made 3 great movies and the rest are good. End of story.
-
I'm a HUGE Fincher fan (even after Ben Button) and that isn't even close. So far anyway. Kubrick was a once-in-a-generation director and we haven't seen his equal yet. P.T. Anderson? Aronofsky? This Heavy Metal thing sounds sickening. Can't wait to find out who the other 3 directors are.
-
Are we thinking modern metal? Classic metal? I'm all for a mix. I'd like some REAL (coughOzzycough) Sabbath, plenty of pre-Justice Metallica, Mastadon, Iron Maiden, The Sword, Slayer, etc . . . .
-
Goddamn, is the opening to Zodiac a fucking masterpiece. That wonderful tracking shot as the fireworks are going off...
-
so at least one segment (Fincher's) will LOOK amazing.
-
And although it's highly unlikely, with Cronenberg and Lynch taking part in productions like this in the past (Chaucon Son Cinema), their presence would be greatly welcomed. Also would love De Palma. If he's not writing...Chan Wook Park is out of the question?
-
... Ratner, McG, Bay, Lucas, Spielberg. Hack Pack.
-
How can you put Abrams in the same sentence as Spielberg and Lucas? All Abrams does it make Star Wars-lite movies and gets blowjobs from everyone who writes for this site.
-
I cannot wait for this, as for all his works.
-
And get some SCTV alum in there to do voices.
-
I don't see Lynch as a metalhead but he has done animation before... Jodorowsky would be such an obvious choice, having worked tirelessly in comics for decades now. Studio suits are scared absolutely shitless of him, though, so I don't know if the presence of the other A-List guys would be enough to calm them down and make them sign El Jodo.
-
That would be off the fucking hook, Cunningham's mooted on and off about wanting to make a Rank feature based on Liberator and Tanburini's HM/Hurlant stories, this would be an ideal opportunity and a possible springboard for a full feature.
-
My oh my...so many classic HM faves to choose from
-
The original Heavy Metal does not hold up well. Heavy Metal 2000 was almost unwatchable.
-
Okay so this has to be done in Cameron's Avatarian 3D technology. And I think it also needs the latest in soft-body dynamics.
-
I HOPE THE NEW ONE WILL BE WORTH WATCHING....allmovienews.net brok the story of steven remaking Jaws...enough remakes
-
I will personally blow up the set and all involved.
-
The movie hasn't even been picked up by a studio yet. This is wishful thinking on the part of the producer.
-
Please God NO!!
-
Yeah, some of the artists who drew for Heavy Metal were decent, but the stories were juvenile, high-school level crap. Most were excuses to draw men in armor, and naked women. Very 70s. Its time is over and needs no revival.
-
I heard this like a year ago.
-
the original had anything but heavy metal in it. Sabbath and Iron Maiden would be nice. But how about some newer stuff too: The Sword, Mastadon, High on Fire.... yes please!
-
Lamb of God and Red Fang. And Megadeth too.
-
But actually, who cares? Even if this gets made, it won't touch South Park's Heavy Metal/cat urine/Kenny sees enormous tits episode!
-
Let's wait until it's at least picked up by a studio before we start getting excited.
-
...give a listen to Maiden's newest album, A Matter of Life and Death! They just keep getting better!...and correct me if I'm wrong, Mort Meyers, but wasn't Aeon Flux part of an MTV animated compilation show?
-
Come on, among those four names even the most jaded fanboy must have at least one that still excites him. And even if not, is there any project for which Zak Snyder is better suited? Whatever you may think of Watchmen, the guy's definitely got a talent for visuals and badass violence, however inappropriate you may have thought it was to see Dan Dreiberg doing it.
-
Sorry, but you know it won't. It sounds good, but too many egos involved. I promise you all the 'Directors' listed who are signed won't see it through.
-
Jun 08, 2009 11:18:49 AM CDT
East-Man. He came out of the East to do battle...
by nasty in the pasty
...with the Amazing RANDO!!!Anyways, I never really liked the original film (the B-17 bomber segment was decent) aside from the Elmer Bernstein score. Is this new one going to be live-action?
-
NEWS!!!!
we've known this for fucks sake. they should have made the announcement by now as to who the other 3 are -
McG, Ratner, & Damon Wayans. FYI.
-
does spielberg have any say over JAWS? i hope not cause wtf about jaws 4? dreamworks is at disney now so i dont think he has any pull over it except badmouthing it. He IS spielberg, though.
-
You know the suits will insist on the soundtrack being chock full of Fallout Boy, Kellie Clarkson, Lady GaGa, whoever wins American Idol that year, and assorted other gayness.
-
ANIMATORS! Like Bakshi, Otomo, Miyazaki, etc.
-
= Best metal band on the planet. This movie could coast on a great soundtrack (though I tend to agree w/ Kid Z's prediction that it will suck). Imagine a soundtrack with all new material from Sabbath, Maiden, Motorhead, Slayer, Electric Wizard, The Sword, Melvins, Big Business, Pigmy Love Circus, Mastadon, Sleep (reunited for one single), Black Mountain, Dead Meadow, Boris, SunnO)), and High on Fire! I would listen to all of Nickelback's AND Creed's albums back-to-back, just to get a copy of that soundtrack!
-
You're not seriously implying that anything Lucas has done in the last 2.5 decades actually merits a "jaw dropping" reaction are you Herc? Seriously? Jaw-dropping, as in "Wow this is good" as opposed to "Holy shit I had no idea this could suck so bad I'd want to stab myself in the ass with a fork after seeing it" jaw-dropping?
-
Done.
-
With that roster of high-level talent, I can't fathom how any movie geek wouldn't be excited about this. I don't know shit about the Heavy Metal movie but these names signal something fantastic to come.
-
That takes a lot of fucking chutzpah.
Oy fucking vey, Hollywood. Oy fucking vey. -
It could be fun, as long as they don't hand the animation duties over to some far east sweatshop. I want my hardcore Nelvana adult cartoon!
-

Jaws: Reimagines with frikkin' laser beams on its head.
by royston lodge
It had to be said.
-
you actually mention his name alongside with Lucas and Spielberg. Yeah, he made a good Star Trek movie. Period.
-
you got all of these guys who want to tell a collection of short stories in an animated format, and plans to be adult and scary and cool and shocking, but here we go with branding again... Let's rework a previously sucessful franchise. Fuck man just make whatever it is that is being made and call it something else other than heavy metal. how hard is that, or is it an outright remake. Hope not, that would be boring.
-
Can't think of any names off-hand... hope it's a mix of traditional and cgi though.
-
10 bucks.
-
or he owns the rights for the movie or something?
-
I liked Heavy Metal when I was 14 years old because of all the swords and boobs. If they change any of that, it won't be Heavy Metal, and I bet it will be PG-13.Sorry guys...your best bet would be to get out your copy of Corben's "Neverwhere" and sit back and enjoy.
-
One man one vote.
Voting time on the best movie 'anthology'.
One cast for CREEPSHOW right here. -
Well they'd basically be a bunch of 1/2 hour short films taking place in the Matrix universe. Live action and animated. Get all these great directors and artists together to make something as awesome a collection of stories as Animatrix. Cameron, Oshii, Tarantino, Spielberg, Lucas, Nolan, Miyazaki whatever, whoever, just get a whole bunch of people with a great budget and have them do individual stories/stylistic takes on the Matrix. Now THAT would be a project worth something! Even the hacks amongst them can at least deliver an action packed spectacle. It's a fucking world and concept where they could pull off just about anything! I would love to see that, hope WB is listening! I'm sure the Wachowskis would be all aboard this idea!
-
on the big screen.
-
If this is live action I think it would be kickass. I love animation but these guys doing scifi fantasy on film would be exciting.
-
Pair each big-name director with a different big-name animator, so each segment is the result of a weird collaboration. Even better, put the names in a hat and match the duos up randomly.
John Kricfalusi
Ralph Bakshi
The Animatrix folks
Some kid who works only with stick figures.
Etc...
-
Make of that what you will.
-
Aranofsky should be in too.
-
That's the only guy who can make cool adult animating feature.
-
Rats...did he run out of Turtles money?
-
Everyone's throwing out their perfect directors (David Lynch?) but not many people have mentioned music, which is deffinitely going to play a major part in this thing (although I assume it's going to rip our dicks off and replace them with robotic miniguns whatever the case may be.) Personally as far as modern bands go, I'd love to hear some Queens of the Stone Age, Mastadon would fit right in, some Grinderman (No-Pussy Blues could be the ending credit music)...What's anyone else think?
-
Seriously, does anybody remember one of the best South Park episodes of the last year? Eastman needs to get Parker and Stone to do a segment.
-
Uwe Boll's mom and Uwe Boll's dead dog.
-
Isn't he in an iron lung somewhere?"SIR, I LOVED YOUR WORK ON HEAVY TRAFFIC!"
-
His most recent film took a nosedive at the box office.
-
in this day and age, the word lucas can still be mentioned in regards talented film makers while everyone keeps a straight face.
-
Besides, he'll have nothing to do with this, as he is into putting out mindless A-sexual family entertainment, absent any integrity.
-
...direct a cartoon full of big tits and gore. Totally fits in with the rest of his work! OSHII might agree to it so long as he's allowed to include a gratuitous close-up of a Basset hound's anus.
-
Mix that shit up. Let's have a broad range of stuff everywhere from Queens of the Stone Age, Iron Maiden, Dragonforce, Fear Factory, Skinny Puppy, etc. However, I'd still love me some classic Cheap Trick, DEVO and maybe some Black Flag thrown in too.
-
It was barely cute to begin with and Joss's AXM run did not work. Give it up, Harry. You are not a cute mutant ingenue girl.
-
I don't know about Aja, but I have no doubt Zombie will be one of the other 3.
-
Jun 08, 2009 3:03:54 PM CDT
Uwe Boll & James Cameron should direct alternating scenes
by gibsonusa returns
Itd be cool guessing who did which!
-
man, I could go on forever with my HEAVY METAL wish list...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=855QLTV2Rj4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeYXI8CkS3U
-
PLEASE
-
doesn't just mean tits and gore. Yes, Miyazaki is more kid friendly, but I think if given the opprotunity to explore his dark side, there would be some wild shit.
-
For one really shitty movie.
-
i WOULD BE THERE FIRST IN LINE
-
That stuff is for people that still wear JNCO pants. I'd like: Mastadon, 3 Inches of Blood, Maiden, Baroness, Isis, Doom Riders, ASG, Big Business, Jesu, Nash The Slash, and Zombi. Also, FUCK George Lucas! Do you guys want this to be pixar heavy metal or do you want good ol' 2D? They should see what Don Bluth is up too. The guy who made Secret Of NIMH would be better than Lucas.
-
Make it Don Hertzfeldt, and I'm already sold. Also, get Mike Judge to do something, somehow, for this project. Actually, anyone from Liquid Television should be on the short list for this movie.
-
Creepshow is the anthology to which I compare all others.
Still looking forward to this if it happens, though. Anthologies overall are great ways to take on traditional and entertaining themes while introducing new blood to the rotation. -

Eastman has been known to...
by elvispresleehorsleyharveyoswaldoprahwinf
1. Talk out of his ass.
2. Throw money at gigantic failures.
3. Touch poop and make a million dollars.
4. Actually love comics in all it's forms.
Eastman's last attempt at a HM sequel was a walking abortion...
-
and his 14 year old juckie girlfriend.
is what it fukin needs. -
Jun 08, 2009 4:54:17 PM CDT
WOW. Am I the only true metal geek on this board?
by the green gargantua
Go back to school.
-
just because you sat on this news all day Sunday and let someone else email it to us first.
just do better next time. -
and in no way comparable to even latter-day Spielberg or Lucas. Geez, you make one decent movie these days and everyone's trying to throw you into a pantheon of greatness.
I'm with the folks worried about what kind of Metal would be in there, though. Mastadon would be great though. And whoever said Grinderman, excellent suggestion. Municipal Waste, maybe? -
it will be Robert Rodriguez as one of the three.
-
This will be amazing. ALL HAIL SNYDER!
-
for them to make the next Heavy Metal movie live action rather than Animation or maybe a combo of both. The magazine was always such a hodgepodge of different styles and stories and the film version should also be. This is where the first Heavy Metal movie succeeded and that god awful Heavy Metal FAKK 2000 failed.
Other three I would like to see directing segments:
Quentin Tarantino
Terry Gilliam
Chris Cunningham
-
Tarantino (obvious), Jackson and Spielberg. Anyone bets against this?
-
Heavy Metal is still in publication. And the writing may be puzzling or simplistic to some but it's very European so it just naturally has that bleak, empty, ambiguous post-modernist attitude about it. Which, when I was a kid, was a nice change from the tired dualistic superhero mold of American comics (of which I've never been a fan).
-
Mikey Bay, Stephen Sommers and Brett Ratner. Big Robots, Spastic Mummies and coked out X-Men. Works for me.
-
Yes, Municipal Waste! Chemically Altered would be awesome for Heavy Metal. Electric Wizard would be a good band too.
-
Real heavy metal, and real animators. Call the guy responsible for AACHI AND SSIPAK - he's on the right wavelength for this. And to whoever it was above who mentioned Big Business - hat tip, sir or ma'am. Two men... who rock like a thousand.
-
I was referring to a Matrix concept, not Heavy Metal, given Animatrix shorts like 'Beyond' with the kids playing in a haunted house, I think Miyazaki could come up with some kind of story to suit his tastes involving robots and nature perhaps in a pre-Matrix world before the 2nd Renaissance war... hell Castle in the Sky was precisely something like that! Or a story about kids in a Matrix program that simulates nature in contrast to the apocalyptic real world. But anyway, this is about Heavy Metal... So I don't think he'll give a damn. And in a sense neither do I...
-
I can't think of any director better suited to helm a segment of sci-fi & smut than Paul Verhoeven. They've got to get him in there somewhere. Other possible names I'd like would be Raimi, Del Toro, Jackson or Gilliam. And on another note, when listing Fincher's filmography, why would you leave out Seven in favour of Alien 3?! Unless you're being bitchy... And on yet another note, I enjoy Lost as much as anyone, but seriously, Abrams has made one solid sequel and one very good Star Trek film. The bulk of his output is decent, polished television. The prequels might have been... well... let's not get into all that again, but still, Lucas brought us STAR WARS for crying out loud. Mentioning someone who has made a couple of films based on 60s TV shows in the same breath as Lucas and Spielberg, sheesh...
-
SATYRICON
IRON MAIDEN
MAYHEM
AURA NOIR
ENSLAVED
AMON AMARTH
MASTADON
HIGH ON FIRE
OM

Herc, re: "starring his porn-star ex-wife Julie Strain."
by immortal_fish
I'll give you that one, Herc, despite the doubtless luck of the draw, only because IAFD has her listed as having done a single "lez only" scene.http://tinyurl.com/mwvx25See, unlike you pandering liberals, we libertarians (read: the other Lib Meat) have no problem calling something what it truly is. I.E. Oral sex = sex.

Only Repubs still obsess over that blow-job. No one else gives a fuck. Nice try though.
-
SPIKE JONZE!!!!!!!

Terry Gilliam and Tim Burton also. Chris Cunningham...maybe. Michel Gondry? Cunningham and Gondry aren't jaw-dropping names to most folks.
What about John Boorman? He's wrapping up his animated OZ tale right now. He would be interesting and should be free. -
available, not cheap. Sorry, John Boorman.
-
Does this even count as "news"?
-
I always laug at that segment because the animation is really simple and shitty and yet hilarious. The John Candy voiced segment was good too as well as Harry Canyon.
-
I just jizzed in my pants
-
That segment along with the one with the coke snorting aliens actually were the best animated IMO. It may have been a more simple and cartoon like style but it was fluid and very well drawn and way more superior and watchable than the herky jerky stuff that was trying to look realistic.
Bring back the Loc-Nar!!! -
- Ralph Bakshi
- John Kricfalusi
- Don Hertzfeldt
- Mike Judge
- Genndy Tartakovsky
- Hayao Miyazaki
- Matt Groening
Step One: Throw those names into a hat and throw the "big name directors" names into a hat and match 'em up at random!
Step Two: Inhale, dammit. Don't just let it hang from your lips cuz you wanna fit in with the bad kids. Inhale!
Step Three: Heavy Metal. -
I saw the B-52 segment one night on VH1 when my dad was channel surfing late one night and I was around 4 or 5 years old, I thought it the most badass thing I had ever seen! it wasn't till years later though that I saw the full entire movie uncut
-
I, for one, am interested in this film no matter who ends up REALLY being involved in the end. The original is part of my being, the second anathema. I would love to see another go at theatrically releases adult anthology animation.
And Vern.... lol! -
And "Druganaut" by Black Mountain.

YYYYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
