Bow before the loc-nar bitches!

Geeks worldwide may rejoice in the fact that Guillermo Del Toro and Zack Snyder will be joining in to direct some of the segments of the new Heavy Metal animated film.  The original 1981 cult classic featured a series of animated segments with one central theme.  Eastman and co. attempted a sequel eight years ago, Heavy Metal 2000, which was absolutely terrible.  The magazine and films are known for their liberal use of foul language, violence, and nudity.

Personally I wasn’t too excited originally at the thought of another Heavy Metal film, but knowing that Snyder and Del Toro will be lending their creative talents gives a lot of credibility to the project.  Can you imagine Del Toro’s monsters imagined for this film?  It’s enough to make geeks blow their loads the world over.  Just keep Julie Strain out it this time, for the love of God.

If you’ve never seen the original 1981 classic, you can watch it online for free on Netflix if you’re a member.
