HEAVY METAL Film To Be Made By Robert Rodriguez

Exciting news for Heavy Metal magazine fans who want a new version of the Heavy Metal movie, famed “Spy Kids”director Robert Rodriguez has surprised everyone at the San Diego Comic-Con with news that his new media company, Quick Draw Productions, would set sail with a new animated anthology of leering adolescent fantasies, according to The Playlist.

Stop, wasn’t David Fincher the one making “Heavy Metal?” And with a bunch of A-list directors like James Cameron lined up to direct segments? That project is dead and bloated, as the rights have gone from Paramount to Rodriguez. Robert’s already met with the magazine’s owner, Kevin Eastman, and it’s a done deal. Not only has Rodriguez secured the rights to make a new Heavy Metal movie he is asking fans to help in the process. You can submit ideas, trailers, drawings you name it. The official statement on the project can be enjoyed by clicking here BadAss Digest.

Robert Rodriguez adds: “Some of the stories we’re working on already, but I’m leaving a slot open for the audience who has been so good to Heavy Metal and who has always believed in Heavy Metal and what it could be. And i think it would be great if we all participated together and made this the best version of Heavy Metal that ever existed”.
