Monster Hunter: The Movie

"In 2012, it was reported that Resident Evil director Paul W. S. Anderson might direct a film adaptation of Monster Hunter.

During the September 2016 Tokyo Game Show Capcom producer Ryozo Tsujimoto stated that a live-action Monster Hunter film is currently in development within Hollywood.

Anderson and producer Jeremy Bolt, both who helped to bring Capcom's Resident Evil game to a series of films, have obtained the rights from Capcom for the Monster Hunter adoption after about five years of discussion. The two anticipate a series of Monster Hunter films.

Anderson said he was drawn to the Monster Hunter property, not only because of the series' popularity, but also for the "incredibly beautiful, immersive world they've created".

Anderson has already penned out a script, which would involve an American being dragged into the parallel universe that the Monster Hunter series is set in, learning how to fight monsters, and then having to deal with the situation when monsters cross back into the real world and start attacking, such as a final climatic battle at Los Angeles International Airport."

What do you guys think? This sounds horrible.

Is the plot for the movie anything like the game?

I've never heard of the game, but if Anderson is writing the script it'll probably suck horribly.

I think he's a decent director, but not a writer.

I'm not into video games, which is why i asked.

No, and from that description alone, its going to be horrible.

Luckily, I heard the anime is pretty good, I guess.

It SORT of sounds like how they **** up He-Man back in the 80s, plot wise.

Well if W.S Anderdon is doing it then at least we can look forward to "its so bad its good" fun even if it gives people brain cancer.

lol

I'm sure Milla will be put in there somewhere.

Why?

You do know she's his wife and all that.

Nepotism?!?

This is gonna be awful.

Dragonball Evolution tier awful.

Nothing else can be that bad, ever.

I do think it's likely that as said above, worse case is that it's so bad it's good, at least here and there. Seems like the crew that handled Pacific Rim would have been much better for this, doe.

Agreed.

maybe he will have his Havok powers lol...
