The guys from The Metal Den says they have the first poster art for the upcoming “Heavy Metal” movie, drawn by artist Raymond Swanland. It looks very heavy. And metal. Heavy metal-ish, if you will.

James Cameron Joins The Team For A New Heavy Metal

Kevin Eastman’s brand new version of the 1981 film version of “Heavy Metal” already had a crazy group of talents set to direct segments based on the Sci-Fi comic featuring, as I best remember, awesome Sci-Fi boobage. Those ready to direct include Zack Snyder (Watchmen), David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club, Ben Button), Mark Osborne (Kung Fu Panda), and Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy) Add to this list Mr. James Cameron, who will co-exec produce and also direct a segment. Since James is now pretty much all 3D, all the time, look for the whole movie to be in lovely digital 3D.

David Fincher, Others to do Heavy Metal Animated Movie

Geez, remember the first “Heavy Metal” movie in 1981? Or the sorta sequel in 2000 starring Julie Strain? Well forgot those, because they’re making another “Heavy Metal”, to be based on the ’70s sci-fi fantasy magazine of the same name. This latest “Metal” animated movie has some big guns behind it, too — namely director David Fincher, who along with 8 (or 9, they still haven’t settled on the total yet) other filmmakers, will be contributing individual segments to the movie, to be produced by Fincher, Kevin Eastman, and Tim Miller. Best news? They’re looking at an R-rated movie.
