SDCC’11: Robert Rodriguez to bring back Heavy Metal movie and wants your help

Who doesn’t like the Heavy Metal movie from 1981.  Robert Rodriguez has announced he’s picked up the rights to the property and wants to continue to make new animated movies… with your help.

Don’t take my word for it, listen to the director explain it to you.

Now head over to the Heavy Metal page at Bad Ass Digest for more.

New Heavy Metal movie has heavy hitters on board

Film School Rejects has a tasty bit of information regarding a new Heavy Metal movie; James Cameron, Zack Snyder, Gore Verbinski, and David Fincher have all signed on to direct segments.  If this is news is solid and true, then count me impressed.  In addition to this this, Mark Osborne and Jack Black will also direct a comedy segment for the film, with two more directors to be announced later.

Either this is going to be one long ass movie, or the segments are going to be incredibly short.  I just hope everyone takes the spirit of the comic magazine and the first movie and brings all the R-rated goodness to the silver screen.
