GIANT MONSTERS ATTACK TOKYO - Godzilla spoof from 'South Park' creators

Godzilla is going to be getting the Tom Cruise treatment from Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

The crass cut-ups behind Comedy Central's South Park, have clinched a deal with Paramount Pictures to develop two live-action features, their first outings with flesh-and-blood actors in nearly a decade. The first project will be a high school comedy titled My All-American; the second, a spoofy homage to rubber-suited, Tokyo-leveling beasties, Giant Monsters Attack Japan! (The latter recalls South Park's first-season-ending episode, "Mecha Streisand," in which Barbara Streisand transforms into a Godzilla-like creature to battle the Cure's Robert Smith.)...

This could be funny.

-But I'm really hoping that we won't see Godzilla sodomizing Megalon in this movie.

Don't really like the south park guys.

They're quite clever at times, but I am curious to see if they can make a funny film that doesn't fall back on vulgarities for its biggest laughs.

Since the Godzilla films and other kaiju movies are fun and easy to mock, but don't really have any overt sexuality, politics, or cultural controversy to them, I'm wondering how Matt and Trey will approach this project.


--And yes, I got the film title wrong in the thread title - it should be GIANT MONSTERS ATTACK JAPAN.

One will proboly be a giant penis.

I'm sure they can, they have plenty of humor in their stuff that isn't vulgar. I think the question is do they want to.
