TAKASHI MIIKE DIRECTING DAIMAJIN REMAKE?

This news has been floating around the message boards for a little bit, and I'm not sure how credible it is, but that's never stopped me before. According to this post by Robert St. John and James Ballard, Kadokawa has listed Takashi Miike in its upcoming movies line-up as the director of a remake of Daiei's DAIMAJIN series. It's scheduled for a 2008 release, and sports the catchy description:

“When a girl offers a prayer, a legendary giant deity awakes! From an old tomb is excavated a clay image of a soldier. Who made it, and why? The never before seen secret of the birth of Daimajin will be revealed here!”

No further info is available at this time. Except, of course, for the fact that Daimajin is a 30 foot tall, stone samurai who squishes puny, soft humans beneath his stony foot and he rocks.
