Monster Hunter
If there is one thing you can bank on Hollywood loving when it comes to movie premises, it’s spectacle on a large scale. For video games, it doesn’t get much larger than the Monster Hunter franchise.
A series about tracking, hunting, and defeating a variety of large, dinosaur-like enemies, Monster Hunter has been a fan favorite ever since it released back in 2004.
It wasn’t long before the game’s acclaim caught the eye of Paul W. S. Anderson (Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat), a director notorious for his work on adapting video games to movies.
Ever since 2012, a concept of the adaptation has been floating around, with Anderson bringing on someone he is quite familiar with to play the starring role: Milla Jovovich.
The Resident Evil franchise star actress is set to play the leading role, playing Captain Natalie Artemis. Her character is a member of a United Nations military team that gets transported to another dimension where strange beasts roam the land.
While the concept sounds pretty straightforward, only time will tell as to how faithful of an adaptation this movie will be.
