The news you’ve been waiting for – at least the news I've been waiting for is here: Birdemic II: The Resurrection is scheduled to start production in February!

The sequel to the most entertaining film of recent years has been long in the planning, and while director James Nguyen was adamant that the film would be financed for millions by a major studio – or at least by distributors Severin – it seems that this will once again be a low budget production from Nguyen’s Moviehead Pictures. This is despite Nguyen apparently having ditched movie-making for marriage and owning a sandwich bar in South Korea. Phew!

The film is still scheduled to be shot in 3D, using Nguyen’s self-built 3D rig, so start stockpiling aspirin now, and will be shot in Hollywood, with the famed Labrea Tar Pits playing a major part in the story, which asks – according to the website (which you have to visit) – “why did the eagles and vultures attacked?”, and may or may not involve zombies (but don't tell anyone we said that!).

We can’t wait!
