Now this could be cool.
South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are attached to produce and direct a movie for kids called Giant Monsters Attack Japan!
According to screenwriter J.F. Lawton, the movie will have a PG or even a G rating and will be a celebration of Japanese pop culture with ninjas, gigantic rubber monsters, and robots. The movie, as Lawton describes it, is completely deadpan, taking place in a Japan where mutants and giant robots are just part of everyday life.
Also, get this: no special effects. That's right, this movie will be done the classic way, with men in big rubber suits fighting one another.
I am so taking my nieces and nephew to see this movie when it comes out.
Thanks to Wild Bill for the tip.

That sounds fantastic! I've never watched South Park before, but I am interested in Japanese monster films. I am totally taking my nephew to see it too.

Men in big rubber suits fighting each other as mutuants and giant robots - Yeah, it's called, "Intergalactic" by the Beastie Boys.
