James Cameron Joins New 'Heavy Metal' Anthology

Film School Rejects talked to Kevin Eastman, whose name you no doubt know if you're a fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He's one of the co-creators of that franchise, and he's also heavily involved with the new Heavy Metal movie. And so are some of the biggest directors in Hollywood, as it turns out.

David Fincher is locked in, and Eastman confirms a few other names you might have heard of. In fact, the talent involved is probably more familiar than Heavy Metal itself. That's a shame given how unique the original film was, which also supplied one of the great underrated rock soundtracks of the 70s and 80s.

"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," Eastman said. "Mark Osborne and Jack Black from Tenacious D are going to do a comedy segment for the film."
