David Fincher Attached to “Heavy Metal” Movie

This definitely gets my geek juices flowing. Long before graphic novels existed, Heavy Metal magazine was essentially the only outlet for adult-oriented comics. Each issue featured incredible stories and artwork by top artists, including Moebius and Tanino Liberatore’s bloody RanXerox. An animated movie was released in 1981 that proved moderately successful and a resurgence of sorts occurred in 2000, when Heavy Metal 2000 hit theaters, followed by the PC game Heavy Metal F.A.K.K.2.
It appears that Heavy Metal is once again poised for a comeback in cinema, asEmpire Online is reporting that David Fincher, director of Fight Club, is set to direct a new installment. No word on which story Mr. Fincher has selected, but I can pretty much guarantee that this project will kick ass.
I’m sure at least one or two more directors will be hired soon, which begs the question, who would you like to see attached to the project? I vote for Robert Rodriguez and Guillermo del Toro.
