Resident Evil’s Milla Jovovich will once again fight horrifying monsters and Tony Jaa will look badass fighting next to her. Based on the game turned live-action adventure fantasy’s new trailer, they’ll take on some vicious creatures together. Watch the new Monster Hunter trailer below:
“Behind our world, there is another: a world of dangerous and powerful monsters that rule their domain with deadly ferocity. When an unexpected sandstorm transports Captain Artemis and her unit to a new world, the soldiers are shocked to discover that this hostile and unknown environment is home to enormous and terrifying monsters immune to their firepower. In their desperate battle for survival, the unit encounters the mysterious Hunter, whose unique skills allow him to stay one step ahead of the powerful creatures. As Artemis and Hunter slowly build trust, she discovers that he is part of a team led by the Admiral. Facing a danger so great it could threaten to destroy their world, the brave warriors combine their unique abilities to band together for the ultimate showdown.“
Monster Hunter reunites Jovovich with writer, director and husband Paul W.S. Anderson. He helmed all the Resident Evil live-action movies starring Jovovich. Bringing video games to the theaters has been Anderson’s forte as he also brought Mortal Kombat to the big screen in 1995.
“This really is a long-term passion project of mine,” Anderson said during a virtual panel for New York Comic Con this past weekend. He also talked about what his wife’s character entails.
“She’s never played a character like this before,” Anderson said during the discussion. “When you play the video game, you play an unnamed Hunter and I wanted to recapture the feeling of when I first played the video game. I came to the game, not knowing anything about it and, as a stranger, I was immersed in this world containing these amazing landscapes and these amazing creatures that would kick my ass. And I thought that should be the film going experience as well.”
Along with Jovovich, Monster Hunter also stars Tony Jaa, Tip ‘T.I.’ Harris, Meagan Good, Diego Boneta, Josh Helman, Jin Au-Yeung, and Ron Perlman. And of course, some very large scary looking creatures.
The film is set to debut this December 30th. Hopefully, it won’t suffer delays like other 2020 films.
