Metallica 3D Movie in the Works
Metallica's first foray into film, 2004's 'Some Kind of Monster,' was, to put it kindly, an exercise in demystification. The then-troubled group invited documentary filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky to watch as they trained with a "performance-enhancing coach" and attempted to work through their differences.
For its next big-screen project -- a self-financed 3D movie that Deadline.com reports is in the works -- the long-running metal band will presumably aim for something a bit more badass.
According to Deadline, Metallica has enlisted producer Charlotte Huggins, the woman behind the 3D films 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' and 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,' to spearhead the production.
The band is still looking for a director, and while there's no word yet on whether it will be a performance film, a la U2's 2008 3D feature, or something altogether different, we're guessing no one onscreen will utter the phrase "trust issues."
