A Monstrous Ego?
 
TOKYO, Japan/Teralogos	Jan 21, 2101  
  
Reclusive director Kansuke O is said to be considering having a 
semi-sapient bioroid "monster" created to star in his next 
slinky. Yokose Studios recently signed O to direct the next release in its 
popular Kyoryura series of giant monster productions. Previous 
installments in the series have been InVids that relied on digital effects 
or cybershells to create the monstrous star, but O now reportedly favors a fully live-action slinky production starring a living Kyoryura.  
  
"If Kyoryura lives, slinky technology will enable fans to actually 
experience the action as if they were the monster," said Yokose 
spokesperson Akiko Tomizawa. "Kyoryura X is the true, ultimate, 
realization of Kansuke O's vision."  
  
Plans for a slinky version of Kyoryura have been in the offing for some 
time. According to Yokose insiders, O only reluctantly gave up his initial 
plans for a full-sized version of the 100-meter-tall Kyoryura due to 
liability and practical concerns, agreeing to an elephant-sized monster 
instead.  
   
"Biotech Euphrates is the most likely contractor," said 
Tomizawa. "Although we're also talking with Avatar. It depends on 
where we end up shooting, since ideally we'll want to grow it locally. We 
intend to record the monster's scenes in an indoor set in either one of 
the Hugyens City domes on Titan or a lava tube complex on Luna: Kyoryura is bipedal, and in 1/7 Earth gravity he'll be able to walk upright or jump without worrying about the pesky square-cube law."
