Quote from Shannon Tindle: Making this film is a dream come true. What began as an original story inspired by my love for Eiji Tsuburaya s Ultraman somehow became an actual Ultraman film thanks to the incredible trust of the team at Tsuburaya Productions, and the support of the folks at Netflix Animation. We ve assembled an all-star team and I can t wait to share our unique take on Ultraman with the rest of the world.
