Directors such as James Cameron, Zack Snyder and David Fincher will direct segments for the film
We also reported last year that James Cameron was set to direct a segment of the film and that report also listed Zack Snyder, Gore Verbinski, Mark Osborne and Jack Black as segment directors as well. While this new story only lists Cameron and Snyder, but it was said that the film will consist of, "eight or nine individual animated segments, each by a different director, all of them infused with the spirit of the erotic and violent storylines that defined the magazine." It was also said the film will be shot for 3D animation.
Director David Fincher, who will also direct a segment for the film, is spearheading the film, as it is seeking financing and distribution at this time. We'll be sure to keep you posted with more updates on this highly-anticipated Heavy Metal film as soon as we have more information.
Heavy Metal comes to theaters in 2013.

This sounds f*cking sweet especially with Jack Black having a little say with the direction Brutal Legend was a Kick ass game and they should even have Jack do a voice over maybe? Oh and also if anything maybe a Brutal Legend animated movie and yes I said A-N-I-M-A-T-E-D cause I don;t wanna see an actor trying to be like Eddie lol

The Narrator: The Better Man
Yes. I was wondering what happened to this project. Fincehr's and Snyder's segments should be outstanding.

Err
nice set of directors, i guess.
they should let the guy who did 9 do a bit, because even if 9 was super corny, it still showed that he has some interesting visual ideas up in his noggin.
and i think bakshi is still alive, they should see if he wants to do something for it too.
