Don’t let the headline at Kaiju Shakedown fool you. Takeshi Kitano does not have anything to do with the sequel of Kazui Nihonmatu’s 1967 kaiju shlockfest “The X from Outer Space”. I think what Grady Hendrix is saying with that is that the upcoming Shochiku release will have a good helping of Kitano-esque humour courtesy of director Minoru Kawasaki.
The man behind such tributes to bad B-movies like “The Calamari Wrestler” and “The World Sinks Except Japan” sounds like a perfect fit to helm the return of Guilala (what an unfortunate name), the Martian chicken/ dinosaur monster with a taste for destruction. No fancy CGI for this film though. Kawasaki wants this to have the same heavy duty cheese factor of the original, so watch out for men in rubber suits.
The tongue-in-cheek sequel will be titled “Monster X Strikes back/ Attacks G8 Summit!” which kind of covers the plot right there. I wonder if our Prime Minister Stephen Harper will get a few good kicks in against Guilala. I mean, he’s kind of robotic to begin with…
