According to Ain’t It Cool News the creators of South Park are working on a new film called “Giant Monsters Attack Japan”. Here’s the source article from Variety:
“South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have set two live-action films at Paramount. Parker and Stone, who have re-christened their Par-based shingle Important Pictures, will first make the Jeff Roda-scripted high school comedy “My All-American.” They plan to follow with “Giant Monsters Attack Japan!,” a film scripted by J.F.
