While the X-men prequel, X-men Origins: Wolverine, was not the best received movie in the world, a sequel has been in production since last year and now 20th Century Fox has begun the long task of finding a director that will hopefully bring a better take on the franchise.

According to ThePlaylist.com, Cloverfield director Matt Reeves and Man on Fire director Tony Scott are the two most discussed names over at Fox. Other less likely candidates include Kathryn Bigelow (Hurt Locker)and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted). However, due to numerous scheduling conflicts it appears that the job may indeed fall into Reeves's hands.

Wolverine 2 will follow the clawed mutants violent trip to Japan and his mastering of Japanese martial arts. The script, adapted from the comic written by Frank Miller and Chris Claremont, was written by Christopher McQuarrie.

When it comes to classic anime sci-fi, there are few more beloved then the classic Toho's ( the same company that brought you Gojira and The Seven Samurai)Battleship Yamamoto. Following the efforts of a crew of a mighty space warship modeled after a WWII battleship, the series is a cult classic. Like any classic from the late 1900's, Yamamoto is now getting a big budget live action redux, and might I say I'm excited. Honestly, look at that. Best sci-fi epic I've seen in years. Finally, SPACE BATTLES!

It's been a while since we had a good old fashion kaiju film. You know, two guys in corny monster suits fighting it out in a miniature city? Death Kappa looks to promise just that. Made as a joint venture between Tokyo Shock and Fever Dreams Japan, the film, directed by Tomoo Haraguchi, follows the rampage of a gigantic kappa, a creatue from Japanese folklore. The film looks to be an old fashioned kaiju rampage filled with poor actiom, bad special effects, and a rediculous plot. Count me in.

Hey Everyone,

Luke and I were discussing this today. So I thought I'd share it with you all.


If you've just crapped yourself out of kaiju related awesomeness. I rest my case.
