RottenTomatoes reports a new Heavy Metal movie is in development at Paramount with David Fincher, director of Seven, set to helm it. According to RottenTomatoes, a Variety article reported that
the new film will bundle the work of “eight or nine” directors, each of whom will be responsible for his own animated segment. From the article:
Fincher will direct one of the segments; Kevin Eastman, the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” co-creator who is now owner and publisher of Heavy Metal, will direct another. So will Tim Miller, whose Blur Studios will handle the animation for what is being conceived as an R-rated, adult-themed feature.
