During the Oscars one thing I commented on was how Short films were all things that we just have no venue to enjoy. Sure we could see them online, but we wont.
Now if we had ensemble films that collected stories of a similar types into a series of films. Well that would be something like Heavy Metal. Now it looks like the film they keep teasing us (then forgetting) with might be back to teasing.
One of the beneficiaries of Avatar’s success could be the on-again, off-again Heavy Metal movie. Now there’s talk it may be reborn as an all-3D, all-animated anthology with contributions from Avatar’s James Cameron, Watchmen’s Zack Snyder and David Fincher.
I would LOVE to see a collection of mini stories like the first Heavy Metal movie.
Each of those stories were separate, reflecting the popular magazine’s collection of illustrated stories. The second Heavy Metal film focused entirely on one story, which could easily have appeared in the book, but what made the first film work is how the narration tied all of them together.
I’d like to see them gather these guys together for little mini stories of their own design, and presented in a series of shorts.
I hope this comes together.
