Set in modern day Japan, and directed by Shinji Higuchi, Shin Ultraman brings the iconic superhero to the big screen as a full length feature film. Shin Ultraman: Coming soon to TIFF Bell Lightbox for a two-night run: January 11 (English Subtitled) and 12th (English Dubbed), 2023.
There’s never a dull day on Japan’s newly established SSSP Kaiju defense taskforce, led by Kimio Tamura, played by Drive My Car’s Hidetoshi Nishijima. After a particularly challenging encounter, a silver giant descends from the sky to rescue the planet. Dubbed Ultraman, this giant’s identity and purpose are a mystery. Shin Ultraman is a delightful reimagining of one of Japan’s classic superheroes, full of cosmic twists, charismatic villains, and giant Kaiju.
