It will be directed by Shannon Tindle (Kubo and the Two Strings and Coraline), and was written by Shannon alongside Marc Haimes (Gravity Falls and DuckTales). Industrial Light and Magic is set to do the film’s animation.
Ultraman was born in Japan 55 years ago. This partnership with Netflix will be the first full-scale endeavor to reach the global market for Tsuburaya Productions. Ultraman, since it was created, has charmed many people around the world. And Shannon Tindle is one of those people. He was greatly influenced by Ultraman as a child, and he grew up to become a creator himself. I am delighted that families around the world will be able to watch Shannon and his teams vision for Ultraman on Netflix and foster feelings of courage, hope and kindness
