New Heavy Metal movie has heavy hitters on board

Posted on by

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.

IDW Publishing Gets Starstruck

Posted on by

IDW Publishing has announced it is bringing Starstruck back to store shelves.  If the cover is any indication, this could be a highly sought after series.

Set in a far-flung and very alternative future, Starstruck chronicles the lives and relationships of Elaine Lee’s characters from her play of the same name. The sometimes dark, often hilarious, and always surprising Starstruck is a visually stunning tale in which the offspring of two powerful houses vie for wealth and dominance in a newly free, but completely anarchic universe. First printed in Heavy Metal and as a Marvel epic series, then a Dark Houre comic, Starstruck is a joyride to the far side of the spiral arm.

The 13-issue series will use the original art of Michael Kaluta, but this time artist Lee Moyer will re-color everything to make it nice an pretty for modern time.  As a bonus, each issue will include Galactic Girl Guides featuring material never before published.

Starstruck debuts in August.

Aphrodite IX Goes 3D

Aphrodite IX, the sexy cyborg assassin, is getting the 3D treatment for the upcoming feature film.   Platinum Studios, Threshold Entertainment, and Top Cow Productions are teaming up to bring the comic to the silver screen.

Threshold’s Larry Kasanoff and Platinum chairman and CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg are producing. Top Cow CEO Marc Silvestri and former Universal Pictures exec Randy Greenberg of the Greenberg Group are execu¬tive producers. Top Cow president Matt Hawkins and Platinum’s Rich Marincic are co-producing.

If this is going to be 3D, I wonder who the target audience is going to be. This could certainly be the Heavy Metal of its time if done in a way to traget the adult male demographic.
