If any US version of Ultraman was coming out, people would generally give more of a damn about Ultraman. There's a reason why Tiga tends to be one of the few shows most fans with any interest in Ultra was watched.
That said, I really wonder if Tsuburaya would be willing to work with Haim Saban as a licensor, given how Saban has historically treated its properties. I suppose Ultraman Nexus or Ultraseven X could easily be among the "not children's properties" shows that Saban is pursuing.
Nexus would be a particular no-brainer for US release to a teen/adult crowd, since its direction is so influenced by Sam Raimi and its writing style is so clearly influenced by shows like The X-Files. More so than other Ultra shows, I think the average American foreign film fan would be able to understand it more.
