A new trailer for this summer's ULTRAMAN MEBIUS & ULTRAMAN BROTHERS movie is now online:

Looks like it will be a winner. I would certainly want to see so much Showa nostalgia for Ultramen on the movie screen.

I wonder will this come to America on DVD soon? Seeing that film clip surely frustrates any American Ultraman fan.

Thank you for your post James.

Just viewing the trailer, I would give it :up: :up: . That looked awesome! :nuts: So James, you've saved me a spot on the plane, right? :p

Seriously though, I would really like to see that movie! :cool: I can't wait to see it on DVD. Tsuburaya is producing it, right? :confused: If I remember correctly, Mebius is one of the series that Chiayo is not contesting. :D

You are correct KG. Chaiyo isn't behind Mebius.

Though it looks like it will be out this year in September. So perhaps it can be screened at the next G-Fest.

That would be awesome! I have already started a G-Fest fund just in case. :D :D :D

ULTRAMAN MEBIUS & ULTRAMAN BROTHERS (Urutoraman Mebiusu & Urutora Kyoudai) opened last weekend in Japan at #3, currently the best performing domestic film, behind X-MEN 3 and FAST & THE FURIOUS 3 (urgh) at #1 and #2 respectively.

Pretty neat video with over 5-minutes of footage from the film:

For the sake of comparison, the new GAMERA movie earlier this year opened at #6, while the recent Godzilla movies GXMG, TOKYO SOS and GFW all opened at #3 as well.

Best,
Jim
