Disclaimer : this post will only make sense to fan of Ultraman series, past and present.
If all goes according to plan, we'll end our Japan vacation on Dec 11 which is a day earlier than the release of a new Ultraman Movie, "Daikaiju Battle Ultra Ginga Densetsu THE MOVIE" or Mega Monster Battle : Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie. (Man, the name is long)
The movie, a joint venture between Tsuburaya Productions and Warner Bros will be released on Dec 12, 2009. The movie is directed by Koichi Sakamoto, who has worked predominantly as executive producer on the long-running American TV series Power Rangers.
The main antagonist in this movie is not a monster but an Ultraman. A new character, Ultraman Belial, is cited as being the first “villainous Ultraman” in the 43 year history of the franchise, who was locked away in the space prison by the mighty Ultraman King tens of thousands of years ago. Belial breaks free from his prison, and plans to use the Giga-Battlenizer to control 100 giant monsters and conquer the galaxy, shrouding the home world of the Ultramen in a state of darkness.
The movie will also feature Ultraman, Ultra Seven, Ultraman Jack, Ultraman Ace, Ultraman Taro, Zoffy, Ultraman Mebius, Ultraman Hikari, Ultraman King, Father of Ultra, Mother of Ultra, Ultraman Leo, Astra, Ultraman 80, Yullian, Ultraman Neos, Ultra Seven 21 and Ultraman Boy.Original actors Susume Kurobe and Kouji Moritsugu return to reprise their roles as Hayata (Ultraman) and Dan Moroboshi (Ultra Seven) respectively, facing off against an army of over 100 giant monsters!
This should be an interesting movie with plenty of Ultraman and Monsters sightings, and the Ultramen are not restricted by the same 3-minute timer as then they visit/fight on Planet Earthbecause they are fighting on Nebula M78.
And think of all the merchandise Tsuburaya can spring on kids to coax their parents to buy! (And we'll be one of them too). Hmm... I wonder whether any limited edition figures for the movie will be sold at Ulfes 2009? Who's going to Ulfes 2009 this summer vacation?
