The fine folks over at filmschoolrejects got the scoop from Heavy Metal Magazine owner and editor Kevin Eastman himself. James Cameron has come on board to co-executive produce and direct a segment of the movie! Here is what Eastman had to say:

“I’ve got breaking news that Fincher and James Cameron are going to be Co-Executive Producers on the film. Fincher will direct one. Cameron will direct one. Zack Snyder is going to direct one and Gore Verbinski is going to. Mark Osborne and Jack Black from Tenacious D are going to do a comedy segment for the film. Three other directors have agreed but we haven’t signed them, but they’re equally as jaw-dropping. So we’re on cloud nine to be working with such an amazing amount of talent.”
