Seven Years Ago Today, Fyre Festival Kicked Off
A trailer for Sony Pictures' adaptation of Monster Hunter dropped today, captivating the internet's attention and reminding it how much Milla Jovovich kicks ass.
The film is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, the B-movie action-blockbuster auteur who directed Jovovich in multiple Resident Evil movies and also directed the Mortal Kombat movie. He appears to be bringing the same flair to Monster Hunter, centering the plot not around the characters of the Monster Hunter universe but rather an American army squad, helmed by Jovovich, who get magically transported to the realm of giant monsters, which they then hunt, etc.
The trailer shows off impressive CGI and a lot of clichés, including Jovovich's team saying things like "This is way above my pay grade," another saying "What are we, the Guardians of the Galaxy?", and a third going "Holy sh--" when a monster pops out.
While the script may be iffy, fans of the video game series can at least trust in the fidelity of the monsters. In an interview with Polygon, Anderson said Capcom had the game's animators advise him on the creatures' movements, down to the fidelity of their toenails.
The film is scheduled to be released on December 30th, 2020.
