A SCIFI JAPAN EXCLUSIVE
Mill Creek Entertainment (Minneapolis, MN) is pleased to announce the next group of releases from the Ultraman superhero library recently licensed from Tsuburaya Productions Co., Ltd for North American home entertainment distribution. ULTRAMAN ORB and ULTRAMAN GEED will be making their North American debut as Blu-ray combo packs that include the complete series and subsequent feature films that concluded each respective storyline for $39.98 each on November 19, 2019. The 1967 series ULTRASEVEN will also be making its Blu-ray debut in limited edition SteelBook® packaging for $49.98 and a standard Blu-ray release will also be made available for $39.98 on December 10, 2019.
ULTRASEVEN (???????, Urutora Sebun, 1967-68) is the third entry in the Ultra Series, featuring the colossal monsters and spectacular visual effects the Tsuburaya team is known for. The show premiered in October of 1967 to rave reviews and appealing to a wider, adult audience with a greater emphasis placed on alien threats and social issues that were not as clear-cut as good and evil. ULTRASEVEN proved there was a winning formula with a more cerebral series that questioned the actions of the Ultra Heroes as they fought against giant monsters and alien hordes bent on human domination. The SteelBook® and standard Blu-ray releases of ULTRASEVEN will each contain stunning high definition video for all 48 half-hour episodes with DTS-HD Master Audio of the original Japanese soundtrack with English subtitles. Digital redemption will also be available via Mill Creek Entertainment’s streaming service, movieSPREE. · ULTRASEVEN Preview Clip · ULTRASEVEN Extended Preview
