Paramount studios just ditched David Fincher’s “Heavy Metal” film adapted from the popular adult fantasy comic, a magazine where you can buy at newstands everywhere. Fincher was set to produce the film and to direct one of the stories. Paramount turned down the offer to get the film made because they felt the content was too risque for mainstream audiences, probably due to it’s controversial violence and sexual content.

That article called Fincher’s film a “remake”, it is not. The new “Heavy Metal” film will feature new stories so it will be different than the 1981 film. If you read earlier articles about Fincher’s “Heavy Metal”, they all said it wasn’t a remake.
It’s no surprise to me that Paramount wouldn’t do this. I don’t think any major movie studios would do this, Warner Bros. would probably turn it down too.
I would say either Lionsgate or Nu Image/Millenium would be the most likely studios that would be willing to do this film.

A new heavy metal movie would be awesome. The first one rocked; literally. I agree that WB would most likely say no to it though. I also doubt Lionsgate would be willing. However, I do agree that Nu Image/Millenium might take up the film.
Either way, I’m really looking forward to another heavy metal movie.
