Live for Film
The upcoming live action sci-fi television series Métal Hurlant Chronicles (WE Productions / Humanoids / Sony Pictures TV), aka HEAVY METAL, adapted from the French graphic novels by legendary comic book artist Jean ‘Moebius’ Giraud will debut in France in November on France 4 and then move onto the UK and Germany. No word yet on when it will reach the States.
That doesn't look nearly as bad as I had thought it would. It still kinda has some of those cheesy SyFy made for TV movie qualities.
I had no idea there was even a TV series in the works.I'm a fan of the comics. I used to collect the Heavy Metal books in my early to early 20s, I own the original Heavy Metal animated film, and Heavy Metal 2000 on DVD and have Louis Royo and Simon Bisley (Cover Artists) all over the walls of my office/Workout room. Seriously check their work out - It's incredible.
Their fantasy artwork is what inspired me to draw and create my own pieces of fantasy art in the same vein back when I was in High School dreaming of a life in Comic Book Illustration.
I'm going to support this show in a big way.
Michael Jai White? I am SO there!!!
Mortal Kombat meets Spartacus. Looks very bad.
Michael Jai White should be a bigger star than he is. The dude is awesome. And unlike 90 percent of the action stars in Hollywood, this is one dude that can actually whup some ass in real life.
