I hate the idea of Disney getting their hands on another IP. Still, if Disney can’t buy Ultraman outright, I’m not certain they’d even bother with it. Disney loves their merchandise money.

Re: MonsterVerse: Beyond 2020
Where IS all this stuff of Ultraman being wanted by Disney and Disney making a film about him coming from?

Re: MonsterVerse: Beyond 2020
As I said, Disney loves making as much money as possible off merchandise. That’s a major reason they bought Star Wars from George Lucas. If they can’t buy Ultraman outright, that would naturally mean that they wouldn’t make much money off merchandise. They’d essentially just be renting out the property. I’m not certain that the control freaks at Disney would have any interest in making an Ultraman film under those conditions, especially when it’s not a proven IP in Hollywood.Cookson wrote:Im sure a deal that makes both parties happy is reachable.

Re: MonsterVerse: Beyond 2020
Disney will never get Ultraman and will never get Godzilla. they may temporarily get loaned out, but not bought.

Re: MonsterVerse: Beyond 2020
On the note of other companies getting Godzilla, i think Toho would probably go for Universal since they just seem like the next obvious choice to get him after Legendary. While they're not the most competent studio at times, they have still made pretty good films in recent years and could at the very least make a good film with the right people in charge.
Still it ain't happening till GVK does what it does so we're stuck waiting till November.

Re: MonsterVerse: Beyond 2020
To be fair I don’t think anyone said Disney would straight up own the franchises... definitely possible Ultraman could be “rented out” though, like how Godzilla is to Legendary. The comics coming prove there’s interest. Will it go beyond comics? I think it will but we’ll see.LSD Jellyfish wrote:Disney will never get Ultraman and will never get Godzilla. they may temporarily get loaned out, but not bought.

While Disney may not buy Ultraman outright, but that doesn’t mean they could buy the rights to do a movie one day.

Re: MonsterVerse: Beyond 2020
I do agree that Universal could be the next major studio that Toho would make a deal with. Both studios obviously have history since 1962, even in the 1990s when they wanted to remake the film.tyrantgoji wrote:On the note of other companies getting Godzilla, i think Toho would probably go for Universal since they just seem like the next obvious choice to get him after Legendary.

Universal also strikes me as more of a studio concerned with getting films that appeal to general audiences rather than creative freedom for filmmakers, which could be a negative.

Wait aren't there still tensions between Universal and Toho? If not anymore then what changed?

Re: MonsterVerse: Beyond 2020
I doubt Toho's still mad about that. If anything i think they probably were glad for it because they didn't have to enter that massive Kong legal battle in the 90's.

Re: MonsterVerse: Beyond 2020
MV thread has been awfully quite lately...
If the series continues, and if they get Anguirus involved, i want a fight scene between him and Rodan (oddly enough, this hasn't happened before and it feels rather overdue.)
