Wow, amazing/sweet! I figured they'd bring Belial back, but damn! Also glad to see that this is Zero's movie, and not an "Ultra Galaxy" movie (though I wonder if the Zap Spacey crew is going to be in it). I'm also hoping this is a launching board for Zero's new series, assuming that's happening.

...Can't wait to see more!

The bracelet turns into both the Spark and Lance - Seven is basically giving his son a suped-up duplicate of the weapon he gave New Ultraman in 1971 so if you're going to complain about it, complain to the producers of Return of Ultraman.

:P

In addition to the Ultra Spark and Ultra Lance, Jack's bracelet also transformed into (among other things) a shield, a whip, a boomerang, and a crucifix/spear/thingy. If we're lucky, this power-up will be Zero's only real upgrade, a la Jack and Max.

We won't be lucky.

:lol:

Appropriately called the "ULTRA ZERO EYE!"

The official site has opened!


Note that the trailer is blocked in the U.S. but you can view it here, courtesy of Jim Ballard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB2wPI4vDwY

Koyanagi Yu, the actor for "Ran," Ultraman Zero's human form:

Movie details (in Japanese):


Among other things, the article reveals the director to be Yuuichi Abe!

Hell yeah!

...I think. He directed one of my absolute favorite episodes of Mebius - the GORGEOUS episode 23 - but his other episodes range from only pretty good to so-so. On the other hand, he also directed several episodes of Ultraman Nexus, including the stupendous final three episodes! In addition to directing this movie he is also writing the screenplay so I think we could have a pretty fantastic flick on our hands!

Personally, I really hope he just channels episode 23 of Mebius the whole time - at least visually. Aaaannnnnd I really hope we see some miniature effects because the miniatures in that episode were orgasmic. D:
