Metallica developing 3D feature film with Charlotte Huggins

Movie by

Metallica's music has been featured in Joe Berlinger's documentary Paradise Lost in 1996 and most recently Spencer Susser's feature film Hesher. Deadline reports that band members are planning to self-finance a 3D feature film, and have brought producer Charlotte Huggins aboard to help develop the film. Huggins knows a little bit about 3D, she was responsible for one of the first big-budget films, Journey to the Center of the Earth and it's sequel Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (which stars Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine and Josh Hutcherson). A director is currently being sought for the project.

This will be the first major film that the band members have been involved in. The band starred in Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, which "chronicled the band’s attempt to mend discord through intensive therapy." At this time, not much else is known about this project, but we will keep you posted on the news as it develops. I am getting a bit tired of overuse of 3D, so I am not overly excited. As a fan of Metallica's earlier music, this is mildly intriguing news. What are your thoughts?
