Fan:Digimon Cinematic Sagas

Digimon Cinematic Sagas is a collection of ideas for fanon live-action films created by CAJH. Most of the plot points will be based on real-life shows like Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, Digimon Tamers and Digimon Data Squad, one way or another. But the series also has ideas that never existed in real-life shows.

Unlike in real-life shows, this series has most of the Digimon species use their original Japanese names instead of the localized ones for two reasons. The first reason is to make more clear the connections between the Digimon and things in reality or mythology they are based on. The second reason is that these films would be rated (like PG-13) as for older people than real-life shows. And unlike the most popular Digimon fan fictions, this one has been released only in Digimon Wiki.

Planned films
Right now only five film names have been announced. But the plan consists at least nine films. The first five films form the first saga, while the second one will have four films. Both sagas have two-parted ending chapters. All are part of the same continuity, but each saga has separate main cast.

DigiDestined Saga

 * Digimon: First Adventure (full synopsis released on January 12, 2015)

Legendary Tamers Saga
The Legendary Tamers Saga will have four films and will have a differently-styled logos than the first one. Some of the characters in the first saga may appear as supporting characters or have cameo appearances. The name of the saga was announced May 27, 2015. At least Troy Dawkins, Agumon, Kevin Harmon and Edmund Harmon will have cameo or supporting appearances. But new main characters will be Tatsuya Munemori and Guilmon. And this saga will have more recurring villains, excluding the villain of the final film.

Production

 * "Production of this fan fiction started on December 2014. The idea of what of live-action film version of Digimon would look like has been on my mind for years. In my previous ideas few years ago, all Partner Digimon and the antagonists were my own creations. But I forsake the idea and decided that the first of these would be better with Digimon species that were already familiar to the current Digimon fans." — CAJH

First the plan consisted only four films. First one to tell about how the DigiDestined get their powers and how their partners Digivolve to their Champion forms. Also no Mega-level Digimon is going to appear until the third film. Then the plan was expanded to two sagas. Most elements of the first saga would be adapted from Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02. Each saga has different characters, but they're linked to each other and are set into same reality. To avoid the project sounding too similar to Marvel Cinematic Universe, the film series was named Digimon Cinematic Series. Later the first saga was decided to be expanded into five films, when the final film was deided to be separated into two parts. The second saga was decided to have a two-parted final film from the beginning.

The series was decided to have an important role for modern smartphones (like iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices). And the backstory of the Digimon and the Digital World will be larger than in any of the real-life shows. The project has some inspiration from Marvel, Transformers, Tron and Godzilla franchises.

In May 24th, 2015, the name was re-formated into Digimon Cinematic Sagas.
