Hideaki Anno, the infamous director of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Shin Godzilla, is set to write and produce a new Ultraman film, according to Japan Today via Game Informer.

The new Ultraman film, titled “Shin Ultraman,” will be directed by Shinji Higuchi, who also co-directed 2016’s Shin Godzilla with Anno. Higuchi is also known as a writer on Evangelion, and a director on Attack on Titan. The similar titles (“Shin” translates to “new”) is surely intentional, given the co-director’s artistic direction they took on the Godzilla film. IGN gave Shin Godzilla an 8.5 out of 10, saying it “establishes its own unique style while taking inspiration from the classics in all the right ways.”

A draft of the Shin Ultraman script has already been completed, according to Japan Today, and will cover the story of the original Ultraman. The titular character is a sort of interstellar superhero, who one day crashes into a member of the Science Special Search Party, a literal “science police” organization. Feeling responsible for the officer’s accidental death, Ultraman revives and fuses with him, the pair regularly fighting against alien creatures together as the series continued. The original show aired from 1966 to 1967, but has found success in numerous different versions throughout the years, much like Godzilla.

Netflix recently released an animated Ultraman series, which IGN gave a 7.8 out of 10.

A representative from Tsuburaya Productions Co Ltd (the studio behind Ultraman) said that the new film will show Ultraman being “reborn” in modern day society.

According to Japan Today, Anno will join production of the film after completing his work on the long-awaited fourth Evangelion Rebuild film.
