Far as I know it was. Even though it wasn't anthology style it was still the second based on the Magazine. I actually enjoyed Heavy Metal 2000, I know a lot of people hated it though.
Director David Fincher has been making the rounds while promoting his next fantasy film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and while promoting it, he's revealed some new information about his new take of cult-classic Heavy Metal, reports MTV. While they're still in the planning process, Fincher confirmed that Zack Snyder and Gore Verbinski are still on board to direct segments of the animated feature.
“I’m ready to bat clean-up. I’m ready to do whatever story no one else wants to do. We have like twenty-four stories and artwork for it. Zack Snyder is picking one and I think Verbinski has one that he likes. We’re seeing where it ends up. I have time to do one or two and I have dibs on eight or nine, so somewhere in there we’ll figure it out if we can ever get the money together.”
The new “Heavy Metal” movie would be the second animated feature based on the long-running comic magazine of the same name. The original film, which debuted in 1981, is a cult classic that pushed the limits of adult-themed animation with its nudity, sexuality, and violence.
Fincher is quick to point out the magazine and movie’s influence on some of the most beloved sci-fi films of all time.
“There’s no ‘Blade Runner’ without ‘Heavy Metal.’ There’s probably no ‘Alien.’ It was such a fertile breeding ground,” explained the director, noting the magazine’s influence on today’s digital animators. “Wherever you go in the world you go to any computer animation company and there lying around is ‘Heavy Metal’ magazine.”

Thanks to Antonello Blueberry for the submission.

Im a big fan of the original, and if snyder and verbinski are attached, then Im there.
Yeah, I think it's better that we all pretend that this is only the second animated feature based on Heavy Metal magazine. Heavy Metal 2000 was terrible at least IMHO.
I assume that Fincher meant there wouldn't be an "Alien" movie if not for Heavy Metal, the magazine and not the movie since Alien came in 1979.
Fincher, Snyder and Verbinski.......doing Heavy Metal ?!?!? Thank you Santa !!!!!!
Fuck, yeah. How about one from Christipher Nolan, even Rob Zombie, I know, I know, but it'd be interesting and it won't be that long, and Darren Arronswonsky. Or however you spell his name. The Pi and Requeim for a Dream guy.
Yea, I wouldn't say I hated it but I probably wouldn't watch it unless I have like a Heavy Metal film night and probably then I still wouldn't.....
I see Fincher doing the Elliott Ness movie the same way he did Zodiac.....
MrJawbreaking - Aronofsky .... and that would be amazinger (I'm making that a word, use it if you like)
just as long as its 1)not live action and 2) actually features the green glowing Loc Nar as a plot device 'cause Heavy Metal 2000: F.A.K.K.² sucked ass. (sorry Kevin eastman... your move put me to sleep and i was WAITING for it!!!)
I thought Heavy Metal 2000 was the second animated feature based on the long-running comic magazine of the same name.....“The world will at some point be ready for something other than singing, furry f–king animals” ~ I freakin' laughed my ass off at this quote from Fincher.
Anybody know if there are going to be more directors attached or is this it? Liking the fact though that Fincher, Snyder and Verbinski are attached.
