Project Ultraman was a planned multimedia project and joint venture between Tsuburaya Chaiyo (50%), Ruishi Culture Developing Co. Ltd. (40%) and Apex Toys (10%), including not only a 52-episode series, but also a feature film and several live shows, following the failed Ultraman Millennium project in the early 2000s.

It was originally meant for a release in international markets. However, the broadcast was prematurely suspended due to the legal disputes between Tsuburaya Productions and Chaiyo, which eventually led to the project being shut down.

Synopsis[]

In the near future, a massive collision event with a meteorite causes the Earth's axes to shift drastically, plunging the planet into a climate crisis and turning one-third of its landscape into barren wasteland, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. 

Fifteen years later, mankind makes steady progress towards recovery, led by a coalition of thirteen masked leaders from the mysterious organization S, who establish BASE 64 and the attack team CUT[1] to protect Earth against malicious threats. When alien monsters emerge and launch their assault against humanity, a critical situation triggers a young man's transformation into Ultraman Millennium, and the battle for the Earth begins.

Attractions[]

  • Ultraman Town and Museum: A planned attraction that would have opened in Pratunam Pra-In, Pathum Thani in 2003.[9] The idea was allegedly revitalized into the Tsuburaya Chaiyo Ultraman Theme Park.
  • Ultraman restaurant chain: A planned restaurant chain that would have been launched in 2004.[9]
  • Tsuburaya Chaiyo Ultraman Theme Park: Before the cancellation of the franchise, the construction of an Ultraman theme park, which would have been built in the ancient Thai capital of Ayutthaya, was in the works. Currently, a giant dilapidated Ultraman mask stands at its entrance, the aftermath of the floods that struck the country in 2011. [9] Sompote Saengduenchai's personal Ultraman memorabilia museum is located further inside, though the fate of it is unknown after his passing.

Trivia[]

  • It is worth noting that the Project Ultraman television show, if successful, would have been followed up by a movie introducing four more Thai Ultras created by Chaiyo Productions. To this day, it is unknown what these four Ultras would have looked like.
  • Setting aside the fact that it was an illegal production, Project Ultraman would have been one of the most ambitious ventures in the franchise's history:
    • features an ensemble cast of famous Thai, Hong Kong and Chinese celebrities;
    • filming in locations across the world (Gobi Desert, Tibetan mountains, Thailand, etc.)[10]
    • Hollywood staff working on special effects and CGI;
    • international broadcasting in more than 10 countries;
    • and the construction of a USD$25.3m theme park in Thailand's capital[11].
