Ultraman: Rising is an upcoming 3DCG-animated feature film that is slated to be released worldwide on Netflix on June 14, 2024. It is co-produced by Tsuburaya Productions and Industrial Light & Magic.
Baseball superstar Ken Sato returns to his home country of Japan to pick up the mantle of Earth-defending superhero Ultraman, but quickly finds more than he bargained for when he’s forced to raise the offspring of his greatest foe, a newborn Kaiju. Struggling to balance the roles of teammate and new father, Ken must confront his own ego, his estran...
This movie was not originally intended to be an Ultraman film, but was instead inspired by the franchise and Director Shannon Tindle's experience as a parent. He conceived the idea for this movie before becoming a member of the production team for Craig McCracken's Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends in 2001.The initial title of the movie was Made in Japan, and it tells the story of a superhero raising a monster baby. The appearance of the hero protagonist, Gamma Man, was initially more in line with the Super Sentai style, but was later changed to a character inspired by Ultraman. Tindle created concept art to pitch the project to a Cartoon Network. However, the project was ultimately not approved for production.
In the mid-to-late 2015, Tindle presented the concept of Made in Japan to Sony Pictures Animation, putting the film into the planning stage. Initially, the film's design and story remained consistent. The plot would have followed "a billionaire forced to grow up when he takes on the orphaned children of his former foe." In 2018, the project was canceled again.
When Tindle left Sony and approached Netflix with this idea, Netflix caught on to it and suggested that he turn it into an Ultraman movie. Tindle then pitched the idea to Tsuburaya Productions, and was allowed to use the IP. Tindle has worked on the movie since 2019, and was invited to a dinner party at TSUBURAYA CONVENTION 2019.
The film was first announced on May 14, 2021. A video message with the two directors talking about the film was shown during TSUBURAYA CONVENTION 2021 SPECIAL PROGRAM on December 13.
As part of the 10 Days of Ultraman, a special panel for the film was held on the second day of Anime Expo 2022 on July 2. A new still from the movie was shown. Another visual was released by Netflix on July 5.
In 2023, Shannon Tindle did an AMA (ask me anything) about the film on July 10. A test screening was held at Harkins Theatres Chino Hills on July 22. On August 23, the final production shot for the film was approved.
