I’ve been on a Kaiju kick recently, spurred on by X-Y-Z-Cosmonaut’s run of Godzilla soundtracks I mentioned a couple weeks ago. In fact, I’ve compiled about 20 Japanese monster films that I’ll be plowing through in September. So the recent news that South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone will be helming an homage to those films makes for a nice replacement for Snakes on a Plane in my heart.

They plan to follow with “Giant Monsters Attack Japan!,” a film scripted by J.F. Lawton (”Under Siege”) that will combine live-action with the “rubber suit” techniques made popular in Asian imports like “Godzilla.”

Parker will direct each film and Stone produce; both will work on the scripts with the writers. Sean Daniel and Nickelodeon will also be producers on “Giant Monsters.”

Nickelodeon? Oh, my.
