Whoa, now this is some awesome news! We've heard about that Heavy Metal movie that David Fincher is spearheading, but it keeps getting stuck in development hell. Well, our friends at Film School Rejects recently caught up with TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman and asked him if he had any updates. "I've got breaking news that Fincher and James Cameron are going to be co-executive producers on the film. Fincher will direct one. Cameron will direct one. Zack Snyder is going to direct one and Gore Verbinski is going to. Mark Osborne and Jack Black from Tenacious D are going to do a comedy segment for the film."

    • James Cameron and Jack Black, I'm sold. Its still completely un needed, and if we were to do a modern style perhaps it should have involved Japanese directors, or animators to reflect a more modern style, and it should not be live action but hey at least its becoming a talented over indulgence.

    • I'm really looking forward to this. The magazine is terrible, but I still have fond memories of either how it used to be, or at least how I used to perceive it as a teenager, and the first film is still nostalgic despite its flagrant sexism and general puerile attitude.

      The magazine was the best, the animated movies were pretty decent .... but this crap with James Cameron and Tenacious D or whatever is going to ruin the classics forever and suck very badly!

      The second movie was an atrocity. At least this one will follow the structure of the original by being a series of vignettes, each helmed by a separate director. Something good will come out of this, surely. Something tells me that Kevin Eastman's segment will be the worst, although he did apparently dislike the second film even though he was responsible for it.
