He also said that the movie (which is intended to be the start of a franchise) is just “scratching the surface,” leaving the door open for other iconic behemoths to make the cinematic leap in the future. The Game’s Developers Had Hands-On Involvement Understandably, Monster Hunter fans were worried and even pissed when the trailers featured soldiers firing guns at Diablos. The movie didn’t look anything like the games, leading some to fear that this was another case of Hollywood bastardizing a game. Luckily, the opposite is true. The games’ producer Ryozo Tsujimoto (above, right) and director Kaname Fujioka (above, left) were onboard every step of the way, keeping an eye on every creative decision Anderson made. From the monsters’ movements to the items used and even to the locations chosen, Monster Hunter’s key developers made sure the movie did their famous games justice. A Sequel Is Already Being Written Monster Hunter has yet to hit theaters and yet, Anderson is already writing a sequel as early as now. While a franchise spawning from a video game movie isn’t unheard of, this may come off as a bit surprising due to how fast the production of a follow-up to a currently unreleased movie is. In an interview, Jovovich revealed that her husband was already writing another story set in his Monster Hunter universe. Details are (obviously) scarce, but it’s safe to assume that Capt. Artemis will return in some fashion. After all, Jovovich is excited for Monster Hunter and would love to do another one. The Original Concept Was More Kid-Friendly As polarizing as having soldiers in a humvee shoot Greater Rathalos may be, the original version of Monster Hunter would’ve undoubtedly been more controversial.

Anderson has teased the possibility of future sequels being developed in the same universe as his upcoming movie.In an interview with Total Film magazine (via GamesRadar), Anderson spoke about his commitment to the Monster Hunter franchise and the long-running potential of Screen Gems' movie adaptation, which is loosely based on Capcom's bestselling video game series of the same name. He suggested that the expansive world of dangerous and powerful monsters could be explored further."I've been working on Monster Hunter for 11 years," Anderson revealed before speaking about the vast array of monsters in the movie, which he says are "built to a greater level of detail" than anything in Jurassic World. "There's hundreds of monsters [in the game]. I can only use five or six of them in the movie. So it's a big, fun world that I think we’ve only just started to scratch the surface of."In the same interview, Milla Jovovich, who is leading the cast as Artemis, an original character created for the Monster Hunter movie, revealed that Anderson is "already writing" something else for the movie universe.

I mean, he's already writing something."Anderson worked closely with Capcom director Kaname Fujioka to make sure that the Monster Hunter movie canonically fit within the franchise, carving out a space for the story that takes place immediately after the events of Monster Hunter World but before Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, with a brand new protagonist who is from our world rather than a native of the realm of the game.Monster Hunter Movie ImagesJovovich stars alongside Tony Jaa, Diego Boneta, Ron Perlman and T.I.

Its unsatisfying climax that sets up a potentially more epic sequel – provided this makes enough money for the franchise to continue. I feel like we're supposed to be familiar with the characters introduced, so if you've played the games this may be the moment you're waiting for. Everyone else will just be confused.Taken as a B movie, Monster Hunter is decent. I have no familiarity with the game it's based on, but even still it’s not original, with the desert locales a straight lift from Mad Max: Fury Road. There’s loads of action, although it’s all done in a chaotic, shaky-cam way. The monsters look cool, and Anderson got a lot of bang for his buck in terms of CGI, although I must admit I watched it at home on a screener link, so I’m not sure how it all holds up on the big screen.If movie theaters happen to be open in your neck of the woods and you want a ninety-minute “turn-your-brain-off” kind of movie, Monster Hunter ain’t bad. There are no doubt dozens of better tentpole movies sitting on the shelf right now, but who knows when we’ll finally see any of them.

Some In-Game Characters Will Appear Just because Monster Hunter is an original story doesn’t mean that none of the franchise’s beloved characters will appear. So far, The Hunter, The Admiral (Ron Perlman), The Handler (Hirona Yamazaki), and Meowscular Chef (plus probably more Palicoes) were confirmed in the trailers. Additionally, the player character will be in the movie, somewhat. According to Anderson, he wrote Capt. Artemis to be grounded, from the real world and foreign to the Monster Hunter world, theoretically giving her a more tangible connection with players. Basically, she’s a fresh new player character who’s just experiencing the in-game world for the first time. There Are Only 6 Monsters, At Best In a revelation that’s bound to anger Monster Hunter fans, the movie only uses a whopping five or six monsters. So far, the trailers showed Diablos (left) and Rathalos (right), leaving the others to be discovered.
