David Fincher’s Heavy Metal project has lost its home at Paramount due to the fact that the studio’s production executives don’t have balls. Apparently, the project, which is based on violent and erotic works, was deemed too risque for mainstream audiences, according to EW’s Hollywood Insider.

Tim Miller, whose studio is handling the animation, and Fincher are currently shopping the film to other studios. The animated movie would consist of eight to ten shorts, with Steve Niles, Joe Haldeman and Neal Asher confirmed to direct segments.
