Project Ultraman

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.

* Ultraman restaurant chain: A planned restaurant chain that would have been launched in 2004.
* 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. https://www.scifijapan.com/ultraman-tsuburaya/legal-victories-for-tsuburaya-productions 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.)http://lostkaiju.blogspot.com/2007/03/project-ultraman.html
**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 capitalhttps://www.scifijapan.com/ultraman-tsuburaya/legal-victories-for-tsuburaya-productions.
