The Nuke the Fridge article in question didn't elaborate on this, which to me personally is the worst aspect. Here's some more context on this remark courtesy of Mark Jaramillo, originally posted... somewhere, but later posted by MouthForWar on Monster Zero.

At this point, I have my doubts about the Ultraman film becoming an actual thing regardless of who has the rights. THIS is what I find myself having difficulty wrapping my brain around.
