Sci-Fi Japan has excellent coverage of a South Korean produced film currently showing in theaters called Chaw. In the film a giant mutant boar terrorizes a local village.

Now this is just beautiful! It's a new short film made by 5 students featuring the original stop-motion "King Kong" duking it out with the cgi T-Rex from "Jurassic Park'!!:

Genius Products and RHI Entertainment will release Sea Beast(2009) to official R1 DVD on June 30, 2009. The movie features some new marine monstrosities who surface to prey on humans. This is the 14th installment in the "Maneater" series from Genius Products. Here's more on the movie and the trailer: http://www.geniusproducts.com/maneaterseries/sea_beast_tp.html

The CGI effects look average but the film looks like it would be a lot of fun to watch, especially for fans of horror and monster movies.

The 'Asylum Ent.' usually are notoriously known for their low budget 'mock-busters' but have been stepping up their production values and actually even taking on some original film ideas. Such is the case with this; their upcoming kaiju vs. kaiju epic: "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus" and the poster has now arrived:

Yeah 'Imagi' has been secretly working on this; It's a 'demo reel' for a proposed CGI film version of the classic story. It looks rather awesome!! Let's hope that it does get made.: http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/imagi-reveals-tetsujin-28-teaser/

Yeah, you read that right; "Gorgo"!! Apparently, it's a 15 minute short film written by; M.J. Simpson and directed by; Benjamin Craig: http://www.cinemagine.com/screen/waitingforgorgo/ and here's the details including links to several photos on 'Flicker': http://www.mjsimpson.co.uk/waitingforgorgo.html
Synopsis
Deep in the bowels of the Ministry of Defense lies a secretive government department identified only as the ‘DMOA’. Just what the DMOA does has been lost in the annals of time - all that is known is that it's the last line of defense protecting London from total destruction.
Determined to find out more about this strange department, Alexandra, a young ambitious defense analyst, sets off into the rabbit warrens of Whitehall to see the DMOA for herself. Finding two aged public servants in varying stages of senility, Alexandra is convinced that the DMOA is the result of an unfortunate mistake. However, as the conversation progresses it becomes apparent that the old guys may not be as senile as they seem, and more worryingly, they may indeed be London's last line of defense. Here's more: http://www.cinemagine.com/news.asp?id=37 and one of the many pics available on the 'Flicker' pages: http://flickr.com/photos/28295240@N06/2639143994/in/set-72157605990136827/

I was just shown this on another forum that I'm a member of by another member who happens to be an incredibly talented aspiring director and fx artist. It's an incredibly awesome looking new 18 minute kaiju short film called "THE UNKNOWN CREATURE". The creator describes it so: " Basically, the movie is about an unknown species of reptile that is accidentally transplanted to the US from the Amazon. It suffers from some kind of injury which causes it to grow uncontrollably (ala Ymir), until it just disappears. A scientist tries to track it down but fails to do so. The story was supposed to be a mix of x-files style detective work with some good ol' Creature from the Black Lagoon as well." Here's some production pics/sketches from the creator's website[I LOVE the design of the creature]: http://argantoa.com/extimages/p_uc_demo_5_ezg_2.jpg and: http://argantoa.com/extimages/p_uc_demo_4_ezg_2.jpg and: http://argantoa.com/extimages/p_uc_demo_1_ezg_2.jpg and: http://argantoa.com/documents/uc_final_2_ezg_1.jpg and finally the website which includes a demo reel[in the images section] with scenes from the film: http://argantoa.com/ Extremely/Incredibly awesome huh?? I kind of get a "The Host x. X-Files" vibe. Finally a kaiju film that's not all about two monsters duking it out or a monster vs. the military and destroying a city. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's nice to see new takes on an old genre. Would LOVE to hear you guys/gals opinions on this one!!
