>The role-playing video game Monster Hunter is a bestseller for Capcom and should be catnip for tentpole IP-hungry studios; the game is especially popular in Japan (where the Universal theme park already has an attraction) and in China. The logline: 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.

>not a female Hunter
DROPPED
that said, Tigrex in IMAX
Jayden Bailey
Milla Jovovich is guaranteed to play a hunter. We even know what weapons she'll use.
Daniel Williams
Never played Monster Hunter but it sounds cool.
I'm sad that the Resident Evil films are coming to an end but hopefully these will be a good replacement.

neat

I LIKE THE PART WHERE SHE HITH RATHALOTH WITH THE SWORDTH
Kevin Wright
I hope he gets his ass kicked by bulldromes and giadromes for a month before finally being able to kill something
Carson Powell
>that plot synopsis
Fucking what. How can you miss the appeal of the games so badly, is the entirety of hollywood braindead?
William Reyes
I hope he has to deal with MHF1 Plesioth

Dropped. What is the fucking point of making it a parallel universe to the real world just for the movie? I was going to wait until I saw some shitty cgi before I completely gave up but they've already killed my interest.

"WATCH OUT FOR THE HIP CHECK!!"
"WHAT HIP CHEEEEEEEEEEEE-!!!"
Wyatt Gutierrez
Get to get those Sword Art Online bucks

Capcom is so desperate. It's sad, they used to be a big company on the videogame market.
Asher Collins
Will best boy be there?
to be fair, they've made billions off the RE movies
Jason Rivera
Or a Barroth. Fuck me those things were annoying.
Jace Roberts
>Paul W.S. Anderson will be remembered as the guy who ended up only making shitty video game movies
What a depressing legacy.
Leo Rogers
>actually implementing the "real" world into the movie
REEEEEE
Why can't it just be the world of Monster Hunter?
Daniel Allen
Mortal Kombat was good.
Angel Harris
Resident Evil movies are vanity projects like The Room, but on a bigger scale and without Wiseau's sincerity.
They have absolutely no idea about the games. They are not big in China at all, 99% of them weren't even released there
It will 100% flop in USA and Japan, only euros and subhuman chinks will eat that shit up.
Camden Scott
No it wasn't. The fighting scenes were ok because a Hong-Kong movies guy directed them.
John Watson

In b4 Jaggis rampaging through New York streets
Charles Kelly
>No it wasn't.
Yes it was because it actually followed the game's lore, no stupid shit like how Ken and Ryu are gun runners in SF.
Bentley Harris
the chinks love Frontier though.
Jace Wood
>tfw you reach the point where you can easily kill Great Jaggis
Always felt good to return some of the shit they dealt out earlier on.
Adam Collins
>making it set in the real world instead of the MH world
I hope it bombs hard

This should never be a metric of quality. A shitty movie is a shitty movie whether or not it pays lipservice to the fans. MK is an awful film that has aged like milk. Take off your nostalgia goggles.
Hudson James
They're decent games, technically speaking. Great game mechanics and customization, if only they'd update the fucking graphics from the ps2-era shit they've been stuck on the last decade

How about you MaKe me?
Nicholas Fisher
King Kong vs Joe when?
Eli Johnson
Frontier wasn't released in mainland China, only Hong Kong and Macau, and Taiwan isn't China.
MHO was made by Tencent, and even Japan with their gambling addiction would hate that game for jewery if it was released there.
Aaron Cox
The RE movies made billions because they were zombies movie, a popular genre. The Monster Hunter series has zero mass appeal. The people playing them are very hardcore gamers who barely play anything else.
Chase Rivera
If there's no bestiality I ain't gonna bother. MH is only good for the porn anyways.
Alexander Kelly
I was more debating that them earning billions from the Re movies kind of run counters to calling them "desperate"
