03.14.08: Fincher Plays 'Heavy Metal', Charlize Mouths Off

David Fincher will spearhead and direct one of the segments of an animated film inspired by the 70s sci-fi fantasy magazine Heavy Metal, which was rife with erotic, violent storylines and imagery and introduced the world to the works of Robert Silverberg, Harlan Ellison and H.R. Giger. The film will be made up of eight or nine segments, each with a different director. Besides Fincher, they'll include Kevin Eastman, co-creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and current owner-publisher of Heavy Metal, and Tim Miller, whose Blur Studios will handle the animation. The other directors are still to be announced. More at Variety
