Big Head Todd?
Monster, shurely?
If he is doing it, hopefully it will mark an improvement over both the other films you mention. NEW BLOOD, the film he did in between them, and his most underrated (and under-reviewed) film, is one of the best Hong Kong creep-outs in recent years. The man's got the gift for the mechanics of horror, so hopefully KOMA 2 will be fertile ground for his talents.

I'd rather see him do a LOVE BATTLEFIELD 2 (not a literal sequel, but something along those sort of lines).

Yes, yes he is the director of KOMA 2.
Here's a link to a brief synopsis...

...and from that, it sounds very much akin to his LOVE BATTLEFIELD (in that it's a dramatic thriller rather than the faux horror stylings of the first film...which I liked a lot).
Hope this answers everyone's questions?
