The favorite animators of the MPAA's ratings board and Tom Cruise are heading back to the movies. Variety reported last week that Paramount Pictures has signed Matt Stone and Trey Parker to a new two-picture deal with the studio. Unlike their previous efforts, "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" and "Team America: World Police," the new projects are intended to be completely live action -- no animation or puppets allowed. Parker will direct each flick with Stone producing.
Their initial flick will be the high-school comedy "My All-American," which will be the first time the duo has worked with real actors since their pre-"South Park" features: "Orgazmo" and "Cannibal: The Musical" (who could forget that one?). It is expected to begin shooting during their 2007 "South Park" hiatus. "Giant Monsters Attack Japan!" is scheduled to be the second picture and will combine live action with "rubber suit" techniques found in popular Asian imports such as "Godzilla." That might scare off some moviegoers, but remember -- these are the people that made a movie featuring puppets entertaining for 98 minutes. There may be no limit to what they can do. Parker and Stone aren't getting big egos about their new deal either, because they self-mockingly titled their new company Important Pictures. You could joke that the duo should prepare their Oscar speeches, but they've already been nominated once (for the song "Blame Canada" from the "South Park" movie). Who knows what "All-American" and "Giant Monsters" could bring.

Good...Cannibal the Musical was GREAT, so was the South Park movie...Team America was pretty bad

The South Park movie was like an extended, really funny, episode. Team America had that fantastic scene with the sign for help...beyond that their movie efforts are dull.
