Metallica’s Lars Ulrich wants to follow in the footsteps of Rob Zombie and direct a movie, Getty Images Entertainment exclusively tips off Bloody Disgusting.

Ulrich revealed the ambition during an interview with Getty Images Entertainment in Cannes where he is promoting his new movie, the band’s upcoming 3D film, Through the Never.

“The biggest enemy I have is time,” Ulrich explains. “Metallica in its 32nd year is busier and has more projects on the table and takes up more of my time than it ever has.

“I may do it,” he continues. “I would love to do something. I have actually been offered the chance to both direct and produce as well as write and I’ve acted in a couple of films so I do what I can.

“Metallica is the main thing in my life and I’m not doing to turn my back on that.” READ MORE

Heavy metal legends Metallica have announced that their 3D film, Metallica Through The Never, will be released September 27th in N. America as a limited engagement in IMAX theaters. The film will expand one week later on October 4th. The film was written and directed by Nimród Antal (Predators, Kontroll) and produced by Charlotte Huggins (Journey To The Center Of The Earth).

Drummer Lars Ulrich comments, “IMAX! It doesn’t get bigger or cooler than that!. For four guys in a rock band of average height, to get a chance to unleash their 3D film on IMAX screens the size of buildings across the country is a mind-blowing thought. ‘Hey look, Mom, I’m 50 feet tall (finally!)’ There is no better way to experience film and when you throw in the spectacle of music and sound this should amount to an unprecedented, unique and truly next level experience.”

The film tells the story of, “…band crew member (played by Dane DeHaan) who is sent out on a mission during Metallica’s roaring live set in front of a sold-out arena. While on this mission, he unexpectedly has his life turned completely upside down.” READ MORE

In a radio interview with Vancouver’s 99.3 The Fox, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich revealed that the band has plans to enter the studio to begin writing and recording the follow-up to 2008′s Death Magnetic this September. However, busy plans will make the process take a little longer than normal. For instance, the band was very busy putting together to two-day Orion Music + More festival that occurred just a few weeks ago. Due to the success of the inaugural year, the band will be bringing the festival back next year, which requires a lot of planning and orchestration.

Then there is the 3D Metallica movie, which is being helmed by Predators director Nimród Antal. The concert footage will be shot Aug. 24th and 25th on a massive 140′x50′ stage. According to Ulrich, the stage will have, “colossal components and striking visual elements spanning Metallica’s entire 30-year career.” The rest of the film will be shot in the two to three weeks that will follow these shows.

So what does all of this mean for the release date of the next Metallica album? Find out below! READ MORE

Meet Tom Spicer, a 40-year old man who has Fragile X Syndrome, which is a form of autism that presents with social, language, and emotional problems. Tom is a huge Metallica fan and has had a dream for many years to meet his idol, drummer Lars Ulrich. This is the basis for the documentary ‘Mission To Lars‘, which chronicles the journey of Tom, as told by his journalist sister Kate and his filmaker brother Will, as he travels 5,000 miles from home for the opportunity to meet his idol.

In an interview with NME, Ulrich states, “It’s not something we’re directly involved in, it’s their film, their journey, but we’re supportive of their endeavour. We don’t want to take it over and have it turn into some kind of vanity project. It’s a great testament into a world I didn’t know much about, and a great testament to the importance of music and what it means to different people.”

The documentary will premiere in London at the Hackney Picturehouse on June 6th. Check below for the trailer. READ MORE

Dave Mustaine Wants To Start Supergroup With Metallica’s Hetfield And Ulrich

Dave Mustaine was recently interviewed on the Texas radio station 97.1 The Eagle Rocks during the Rockstar Mayhem Festival circuit. On there, he admitted to some rather interesting news. News that might send metalheads into a frenzy. Apparently, Mustaine approached Metallica‘s James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich and brought up the possibility of a supergroup. The band would be rounded out by Megadeth bassist David Ellefson. Hetfield apparently said no, but Mustaine has said, “…but it’s still kind of out there in the air. I’m gonna keep hammering on him. It’s on my bucket list.”

Okay, let’s be honest here, the last time Mustaine and Hetfield were in a band together, it didn’t exactly end well. It took almost 30 years for the air to clear. If that happens again, they’ll be lending each other walkers by the time they make peace.

Seriously though, if there was an official announcement and this happened, I would probably have to change my under garments. This would also help when the nurse asked for a urine, stool, and semen sample. ZING! Wait, there’s blood in there? Please call the doctor.
