What is Ultraman: Rising about?

Ultraman: Rising is directed by Shannon Tindle and John Aoshima from a screenplay written by Tindle and Marc Haimes. The film will feature the voices of Christopher Sean (You, Hawaii Five-O), Gedde Watanabe (Sixteen Candles), Tamlyn Tomita (Avatar: The Last Airbender), Keone Young (Men in Black 3, Star Wars Rebels), and Julia Harriman (Camp Rock). It is produced by Tom Knott and Lisa M. Poole.

“Our team has worked hard to craft a story that fans and non-fans of this iconic character can enjoy,” Tindle and Aoshima said in a statement. “Ultraman: Rising is a film for everyone. It’s a funny, action-packed popcorn movie that tackles family, identity, and the struggle to maintain balance in an insane world. This June, we hope you’ll gather ‘round with the folks you love to see what happens when a titanic superhero rediscovers the power of family thanks to an unlikely ally- a sweet, 35-foot-tall, fire-breathing baby kaiju.”
