Shannon Tindle’s “Ultraman: Rising,” an adaptation of the famous Japanese superhero franchise, is already generating buzz, along with its anime counterpart “The Imaginary” from director Yoshiyuki Momose, which has garnered solid reviews. Additionally, Simon Otto’s “That Christmas,” from a screenplay by Richard Curtis and an original song by Ed Sheeran, along with Merlin Crossingham and Nick Park’s stop-motion sequel “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl” round out their offerings.
