Meet Members of Legendary Heavy Metal Band ANVIL

Remember that awesome 2008 rock documentary ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL … No? That’s a shame, because it was a great film. Now, you’ll have a great chance to meet the subjects of that film… but, I recommend seeing the movie as well.

James Cameron Among Directors on New ‘Heavy Metal’

james-cameron-heavy-metal

There has been talk of a new ‘Heavy Metal’ film for years, and directors like David Fincher and Guillermo Del Toro have been bandied about.   The latest word today comes from our buddies over at Film School Rejects who sat down with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles co-creator Kevin Eastman.   According to Eastman, James Cameron and Fincher will serve as Co-Executive Producers on the film, and that Cameron will actually direct one of the film’s segments.

Fincher’s name is still on board as one of the directors, Eastman dropped Cameron’s name, as well, and he also mentioned Zack Snyder and Gore Verbinski would be directing their own segments, too.   Eastman went on to say Mark Osborne (‘Kung Fu Panda’) would be rejoining Jack Black for a segment.   Eastman also mentioned three more directors with names just as jaw-dropping as those mentioned above have agreed but have, as yet, officially signed on.

What other names could these be?   Del Toro is a good candidate.   Some are thinking Peter Jackson and Shawn Levy are likely candidates, as well.   Look for official announcements to come our way in the next month or two, possibly at 2009’s Comic-Con.

What do you think?   Who would your ideal candidates be for those final, three slots?   What do you think of Cameron stepping in to direct a segment?   Think there is any way this thing is going to make its target release date if, in fact, Cameron is on board to direct?   Let us know by commenting below!

Thanks to Ryan Rotten, from shocktillyoudrop.com, we’ve learned that Rob Zombie has apparently been approached by David Fincher and Kevin Eastman to possibly direct one of the segments for the new remake of the ‘Heavy Metal’ animated anthology film. Rotten has been visiting the set of ‘H2’ and spoke with Zombie’s producer Andy Gould, who laid out the news. It was also mentioned what they had in mind, that Zombie could do “something that could fuse his story with his music.”
