While fans of the Monster Hunter franchise are going to have to wait a little longer to see the Capcom video game brought to life on the big screen following the film’s recent delay into 2021, we do have a new synopsis for the upcoming movie which seemingly confirms that director Paul W.S. Anderson and star Milla Jovovich will be adopting their Resident Evil approach and taking the story in a different direction to the source material. See for yourself here:
“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 Lt. Artemis (Milla Jovovich) and her unit (TI Harris, Meagan Good, Diego Boneta) 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 (Tony Jaa), 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 (Ron Perlman). 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.”
