Milla Jovovich Added To Monster Hunter World In Limited Event

One of the common complaints lobbied against director Paul W.S. Anderson and his many video game-based movies is that he has this tendency to ignore the game’s stars and story. Instead he invents a character, casts his wife as that character, and bases the whole movie around her. If he had made the Sonic movie, its main focus would be Zippietta, a human-hedgehog hybrid played by Milla Jovovich with speed powers. But it’s Capcom he’s working for these days, specifically an adaption of Monster Hunter that’s due out Christmas Day. True to form, he’s invented Captain Natalie Artemis, played by Jovovich, as a monster hunter who doesn’t appear in any of the games…..YET. Capcom decided to fix this one and stick Artemis in there. In fact, she was there all along….uh, really! Artemis will be playable in two quests coming in an update for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. The first event, “The New World,” pits you (Jovovich) against a Black Diablos, who factors into the movie’s plot. In the second,

Our First Look At The Monster Hunter Movie In Motion

A brief string of clips from Paul W.S. Anderson’s Monster Hunter movie surfaced today. They were shown off at the Shanghai International Film Festival, and secretly recorded with a cell phone. It’s the first look anybody in the world has gotten at the monsters in the movie. Here are some screenshots in case that embed now has a symbol with three dots on it instead of the video: This leak brings with it new details about the film’s plot, and…if you ask us, it doesn’t sound good. We’ve known Milla Jovovich (Paul’s wife, who stars in all his movies) and Tony Jaa would play the main human characters in the film….but we didn’t know who they were supposed to be. Turns out Jovovich is playing Lt. Artemis, a military commander whose unit is sent to the Monster Hunter world. Jaa is a native hunter who has to teach her how to survive. The thing about premises like this — where a person from our world is sent to the game’s

Monster Hunter Movie Dated For 2020

Last year during NYCC, Capcom and Sony Pictures announced they were developing a Monster Hunter movie. Now we know when the long-running video game series will make its big-screen debut: September 2020. The husband-and-wife team of Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich will be involved. He directs, she stars — the usual deal. They have worked with both Sony and Capcom before at making a whopping six movies out of the latter’s Resident Evil franchise. We figure Paul and Milla’s Monster Hunter adaption will hit the same thematic notes as all their Resident Evil movies did. Expect lots of slo-mo dodging of hazards. Monster Hunter will also star Ron Perlman (the original Hellboy), Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak), T.I. Harris, Meagan Good, Diego Boneta, Josh Helman and Jin An-Yeung. “After living and breathing in the universe of Monster Hunter for 14 years we are thrilled with enormous anticipation to see our creations adapted for a theatrical release,” says Ryozo Tsujimoto, producer of the Monster Hunter series. The Monster Hunter movie is one

Monster Hunter Movie In The Works Starring Milla Jovovich

We are definitely getting a movie based on Capcom’s international hit game series Monster Hunter. Constantin Films announced at Cannes that the movie will begin shooting in September, and that its lead star has been cast: Milla Jovovich. That name may cause people to wonder if this upcoming film will be anything like the Resident Evil series. Actually, it’ll be EXACTLY like that. The writer is Paul W. S. Anderson, who previously directed all five (or was it six?) Resident Evil movies and cast Jovovich (his wife) in all of them. If you’ve seen any Resident Evil movie, then you’ve already seen the Monster Hunter movie even though not a frame of it has been shot yet. We predict an abuse of slo-mo. Switching properties has advantages. Anderson no longer has to deflect criticism for ignoring the lore of the game he’s “adapting” — because Monster Hunter has no main characters or elaborate back story to speak of. We anticipate that the narrative will be light and simple anyway, if
