yeah....

 

[Rentahamster]

That...doesn't look like Monster Hunter at all lol

 

[Akuza89]

So has this suddenly become a Resident evil sequel or prequel to the films...

 

[cr0w]

I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this.

 

[Sub_Level]

W-what

 

[Shouta]

Welp, we can expect this to be another Anderson/Jovovich dumpster fire.

 

[Fbh]

Looks like how I pictured a hollywood MH adapation.

"When in doubt about how to adapt something just put the US army in there, if you can make it so a soldier is either the main character or at least important to the plot". Worked for Transformers and Godzilla

In this case I'm thankful Nintendo is protective of its franchises and their often family friendly appeal because if not detective Pikachu would have somehow been about soldiers too.

Capcom would love that since the RE movies made bank.

Resident Evil: Hunting Monsters Edition

I expected to be sad after seeing the thread title, now I’m just depressed.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Yes, the Iraq war is what I think of when I think Monster Hunter.

Pretty sure I saw these last week.

Not sure why fans are flipping their shit, though. It's Paul WS Anderson. What else did you expect?

 

[Mr Hyde]

As soon as I saw Jovovich I knew Paul Anderson was attached to the directors chair. Must he put her in all of his movies? Is that some kind of deal when you get married in Hollywood?

Yup, he seems to have a talent for ruining cool ideas.

 

[Catphish]

Erm...

what?

 

[Javthusiast]

That looks like a movie from the Resident Evil director featuring his wife alright.

This will be a dumpsterfire when it comes to a faithful adaptation.

Will it be at least a fun movie on it‘s own? Who knows.

 

[noqtic]

The desert is looking pretty good...

According to an article i read today, the premise is that a unit of soldiers from our Earth end up in an alternate universe where the world is full of monsters (like the game). There Milla’s character meets a hunter (Tony Jaa) and somehow get entangled in some plot or other involving the monsters.

Aparently Milla learns and trains to use the weapons and skills hunters use.

So there’s that.

That just makes it sound worse.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Sure these aren't pictures for a Desert Storm movie?

 

[20cent]

Never played any MH games, but that's not how I'd imagine it. /s
Plus it seems too niche of a game (despite MH-W sales I believe) for a Hollywood adaptation, considering the amount of CGI this will require. Or maybe it'll be on par with RE movies then...yeah.
Fake edit: ha, of course, just saw it was a Paul w.s Anderson movie...nevermind then.

It's smart honestly. Director makes billion dollar grossing series of movies. Puts his wife in them, eventually resulting in justification for a high talent fee, all flows back into their pockets. They're laughing all the way to the bank.

REIGN OF FIRE!!!!!

So bad, it was good.

REIGN OF FIRE!!!!!

Yep, that's it

 

[Greedings]

I’m not trying to be cool and edgy, I’m being genuine:

Why do you guys give a shit about Hollywood? They don’t do anything worthwhile anymore.

 

[mcz117chief]

As a big fan of Monster Hunter I am looking forward to this a lot. I really enjoy Mila's acting style and all the others I have seen, who are in this movie, look like fine actors too so I am very excited about this.

 

[Rentahamster]

Yep, that's it

My man crush on Christian Bale started from that movie.

 

[DiscoJer]

REIGN OF FIRE!!!!!

So bad, it was good.

That one scene with Darth Vader and Luke as puppets was genius, though.

 

[Makariel]

At least we have detective pikachu.

 

[Rentahamster]

Very much agreed.

And there is going to be a Monster Hunter movie? How did I miss that?

 

[Dunki]

I think the OP put the wrong pictures in the post. This can not be real. WTF are they thinking

 

[Cunth]

Monster Hunter? Oh I thought those pics were the new Tetris movie

 

[captainraincoat]

They going after Weinstein

 

[Shifty]

Good to see them making proper use of the rich and vibrant world capcom have built for the monster hunter series. /s

Meanwhile, japanese soft drink commercials are showing us how it's really done:
