Metallica have enlisted director Nimrod Antal to direct their forthcoming 3D film project. The group released the following update regarding that:

“At the beginning of the year we told you about our latest adventure into 3D film… an all new, totally crazy world for us!! And, as we mentioned then, so many of the details were still being ironed out. With that said, we’re super excited to announce that we will be teaming up with award winning director Nimrod Antal and producer Charlotte Huggins.

Nimrod‘s Hungarian language film “Kontroll” (which he wrote and directed) won several awards including the Award of Youth at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. His other films include “Vacancy” with Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson, “Armored” with Matt Dillon and Laurence Fishburne, and “Predators” featuring Adrien Brody.

“I’ve been a fan of Nimrod‘s since his first Hungarian film, ‘Kontroll‘, showed up at Cannes in 2004 and blew everybody away” said Lars. “I’ve watched with excitement his career in Hollywood blossom over the last few years. Within five minutes of meeting him I was addicted to his enthusiasm, his take on the creative process and his “thinking outside of the box” personality. Let’s get on with it!!!”

Charlotte has been a leader and cutting edge figure in the 3D world for years, producing both the animated “Fly Me To The Moon” and “Journey To The Center of the Earth,” both released in 2008 and this year’s “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,” which is currently a world-wide box office smash hit.

We’re just getting started here… look for many more details in the coming months as we’ll be filming this summer for a 2013 release.”

Speaking with Rollingstone.com, Davis revealed that numerous artists will be helping him with the solo venture, including Datsik, Downlink, Sluggo and more.

Discussing his motivations for the project, he offered:

“It keeps me motivated. It keeps me being creative and not getting bored with music. This is the biggest the EDM scene has ever been. There’s so much creativity out there, and I love watching people play with their laptop. It’s a new instrument.”

Woe, Is Me have parted ways with vocalist Michael Bohn, bassist Cory Ferris and keyboardist/vocalist Ben Ferris. The trio issued the following statement to Altpress.com regarding their departure.

“It doesn’t come with any ease to announce, but the three of us have left Woe, is me.

Our differences were just too vast on so many levels: Musical, personal/moral, and professional/business. It came to a point where we could either continue on the path they saw fit, or we could create our own path and find happiness in our own ways.

We have nothing but gratitude for all of the fans. Every handshake, high-five, hug, pat on the back, and kind word from you guys and gals means the absolute world to us.

When one door closes, another opens: and we can’t wait to see what’s on the other side of this new door.

Hope to see you on the road soon.

Much love.”
