Heavy Metal

[Wanderingshadow]

No, this isn't off topic. An animated movie based on the magazine Heavy Metal (http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/03/14/fincher-to-helm-new-heavy-metal-film/) is being made. Actually, there were two other movies based on Heavy Metal before this including an animated one (http://keyframeonline.com/Animation/Heavy_Metal:_the_Movie/385/).

There's only one review for the original one and that one was pretty bad. Think there's any hope for the new one?

Well, there is always hope. Although the first movie did not get universal praise, a lot of people like it because it is somewhat of a depiction of what the 70's were about.

The new film certainly won't be for everyone: the amount of violence, crudeness and sex that made up the Heavy Metal storylines will turn off a lot of people. However, seeing how popular films like Sin City were, it is possible that the new film could do very well if the directors do a good job of choosing and bringing to life their chosen story.
