THE METALLICA 3D MOVIE COMING IN 2013

So, hey, remember when that rumor started back in October that Metallica were gonna make some kind of 3D movie? Well, it’s not a rumor anymore. From the band’s official website:

“We’re here to tell you that, yes, there is indeed a 3D project in the very early stages of production! We wish we could tell you more right now, but we don’t have all the finer points nailed down just yet. What we can tell you is that we are planning on being in a theatre near you sometime in 2013.”

So we still don’t know if this is a concert film or what — personally, I am still hoping that this is like Metallica’s version of Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park, with the Metallicats participating in some sort of ultra-corny hijinks — but we do know that producer Charlotte Huggins is involved. Personally, I don’t find the words “From the Producer of Fly Me to the Moon 3D” to be any more encouraging than I do the phrase “From the band that brought you St. Anger,” but you can make your own assumptions.
