"OUTLANDER"= Primitive Vikings vs. Alien Giant Monster = Epic Win!!
"MORTIS REX"= Ancient Romans vs. Supernatural Giant Monster= Epic Win!!

Now before anyone attacks the titling of this thread because I used "kaiju" instead of giant monster because the film's not Japanese made. "Giant Monster" wouldn't fit. It's a space thing. Sorry.

Somehow I failed at bringing this film here....Let''s see...where to begin?

Watch out "Outlander" it's "MORTIS REX" which means "King Of Death" in Latin. It's a $25m. UK production from 'Intandem Films' set to begin filming in the second quarter of next year and will be directed by Peter Briggs. It takes place in the year 122 A.D. and features the story of a Roman war hero who has to defeat the super natural titular beast .

They even mention "Outlander" and talk a good bit about their ideas for the giant supernatural creature of the film! Speaking of "Outlander"...Funny bit about who they already have a part set out for I'm so looking forward to this film!!!!

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:

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/
