UTRAMAN RISING - A CHAT WITH THE STARS AND DIRECTORS

Ultraman Rising is a new film from Netflix… but it’s not just packed with action. This animated gem is loaded with heart!

Based on the popluar Ultraman series, Ultraman Rising is a movie that packs an emotional punch! With Tokyo under siege from rising monster attacks, baseball star Ken Sato reluctantly returns home to take on the mantle of Ultraman. But the titanic superhero meets his match when he is forced to adopt a 35-foot-tall, fire-breathing baby kaiju.

Sato must rise above his ego to balance work and parenthood while protecting the baby from forces bent on exploiting her for their own dark plans. In partnership with Netflix, Tsuburaya Productions, and Industrial Light & Magic, Ultraman: Rising is written by Shannon Tindle and Marc Haimes, directed by Shannon Tindle, and co-directed by John Aoshima.

I spoke with voice actors,  Christopher Sean, Gedde Watanabe, Tamlyn Tomita and directors Shannon Tindle and John Aoshima about the film.
