Fan:Digimon (2021 film)

Digimon is a fanon live-action film idea created by CAJH. It is the first installment of the fanfictional film series idea. The story of the film is inspired by several elements from 1999 Adventure and 2020 Adventure: continuities as well as few recurring elements from Digimon mythologies.

The initial story idea of Digimon was released to the Digimon Wiki on March 2021. But was later removed to be reworked for a better one. The ”Digimon 2021 Fan Fiction Film Series Story Idea Group” is also actively recruiting other people to suggest their own ideas or story changes for a potential full script.

Planned intro
The film begins with Huckmon's lecture about information technology and its meaning in today's society, with ”Boléro” (but shortened and partially remixed version of it) being heard in the background. People walking on streets, working in offices, and using smartphones, laptops, and other devices, are shown. Even a world formed by the Network is shown. But the intro ends when small little disturbances start appearing on devices, caused by mysterious eggs that start dropping into the Network. Then, the ending of ”Boléro” can be heard and the title of the film appears.

Planned story elements
The story idea list is currently being redrafted.

Featured characters
(Numbers indicate order of appearance. Bolded characters are fought by the protagonist(s), and italicized characters feature non-explicitly, e.g. voice, silhouette, image.)

Development
While discussing with CLTwins15 about potential story ideas that were left out of Cinematic Sagas and the Digiversum, CAJH made a decision to make a third film series idea. He also planned that this time the story would start with main characters being 11 years old, two years younger than the main characters of the Cinematic Sagas or Digiversum. And no government organizations or private companies are involved. CAJH also hoped that he could have multiple people join his ”Digimon 2021 Fan Fiction Film Series Story Idea Group” to help develop this fan fiction. The project, however, proceeded without CLTwins15 due to creative differences about one character from CLTwins15's own fan fictions.

The previous film series ideas had also started before real-life anime film Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna as well as the Digimon Adventure:, reboot of the Adventure continuity, premiered. And CAJH wished to adapt some of the new villains to these new stories. Although CAJH liked the stories he wrote, he came to consider that Cinematic Sagas was too dependent of adapting existing stories and that the idea of the Digiversum as a shared universe didn't sound like something a real filmmaker would be very likely to do. And he also admired the idea of Adventure: making the threats of the Digital World affect the real world through technological problems rather than disrupting the interdimensional balance.

CAJH was also interested of the approach used by Harry Potter films and Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man films of having each sequel take one school year later than its predecessor.

Trivia

 * Just like Cinematic Sagas film idea Digimon: First Adventure, Devimon appears the first villain faced by the Chosen Ones. But in this continuity, Devimon starts as a background villain, with much more important role being planned for the sequel.
 * Unlike Digimon: First Adventure and first Digimon main film of the Digiversum, the main characters do not gain any human allies from technology companies or government agencies right in the beginning.
 * The initial plan was to have the characters start their journey same age as their anime counterparts, but the difference between educational systems of the United States and Japan and their role in character descriptions forced CAJH to change his plans.

Digimon: Light and Dark
The second installment, a sequel titled Digimon: Light and Dark, focuses on the Chosen Ones actively fighting against Devimon and searching for Tyler’s lost Partner Digimon who is a reincarnation of the Holy Archangel.

Digimon: Worlds Collide
The second installment, a sequel titled Digimon: Light and Dark, focuses on facing a greater villain behind the previous challenges of the Chosen Ones and finding the eighth Chosen One and the second Holy Archangel.
