		<description><![CDATA[Back in March of last year news came through the grapevine that David Fincher was going to team up with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman to produce an animated feature based on 70s fantasy/erotica magazine Heavy Metal. At the time there was a fair amount of speculation as to which directors would be invited along to helm each of the film’s segments, with some hints that big names might be interested in contributing for what would be a relatively short gig. 

According to an interview with Eastman published over at Film School Rejects, they have secured some of the names he must have been hinting it. We now know the line-up will include the likes of James Cameron, Zack Snyder and Gore Verbinski, in addition to Fincher himself with more to come. Extremely heavy metal indeed.



Heavy Metal was around well before my time, so I mainly know of it through its reputation, but a magazine which offered graphic sex and violence, a comic book adaptation of Paradise Lost and interviews with Roger Corman and Federico Fellini is clearly a force to be reckoned with. Add the visionary talents of people such as Cameron and Fincher to the equation and it ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Fincher, Tim Hill (Alvin and the Chipmunks), Kevin Eastman (co-creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and five or six unassigned other directors are each helming an animated segment based on the 70's erotica and fantasy magazine Heavy Metal, before being pieced together and released theatrically as an R-rated adult themed flick.

Fincher is spearheading the project at Paramount Pictures. Eastman is the current owner and publisher of the magazine...

The project titled Heavy Metal, will be reminiscent of the erotic and often very violent storylines that the magazine which debuted in the U.S. in 1977 was best known for. The image above is the cover from the very first issue of the magazine which should tell you everything you need to know about it's content.

You might be surprised to know that this isn't actually the first time the magazine has been made into a movie.
