Given its past successes, Capcom is understandably interested in pursuing a film adaptation of Monster Hunter, and so is writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson (Alien vs. Predator, Death Race, and the still-ongoing but almost finished Resident Evil series), according to Deadline. Anderson and producing partner Jeremy Bolt are teaming up again, this time for the monster-slaying action-RPG series.
"It's very much [Capcom's] crown jewel," Anderson said of the property alongside Bolt in a wide-ranging Q&A with the publication. "They've said what they love about Paul is he understood the spirit of the game and expanded and made more of it [with Resident Evil]," explained Bolt. "Commercially and creatively, they really respect that. They are trusting us again, on Monster Hunter."
The movie's logline sounds somewhat reasonable, albeit with the degree of separation from the games that you've probably come to expect: "For every Monster, there is a Hero. An ordinary man in a dead end job discovers that he is actually the descendant of an ancient hero. He must travel to a mystical world to train to become a Monster Hunter, before the mythical creatures from that world destroy ours."
