Remember that Monster Hunter movie we told you about a while back? Well, it hasn't gone away, no matter how much you wished it. In fact, early footage from the flick has surfaced online thanks to the fact that it was recently shown at the Shanghai International Film Festival.
The very short teaser trailer shows Milla Jovovich, Tony Jaa and Ron Perlman, and also gives some screen time to Rathalos and Diablos, two of the franchises' most iconic beasts.
In case you'd forgotten about the downright silly plot, Jovovich plays a soldier from our time who is magically transported into the world of Monster Hunter, where she and her team meet up with famous faces from Capcom's popular series.
It was confirmed at the event – which attended by Constantin Film Chairman Martin Moszkowicz – that Toho and Tencent will be working together to bring the film to Asia. It's due for release on
September 4th, 2020.

Ooooh.
Oh god why.
This is just so bad… and not in a good way.
The diablos looks fine in the first scene, but the second one is kinda bad
Tell me, who are the real monsters here?
@Savino That Pokémon movies are great?
@Hinade
53% on Metacritic
65% on RT
Usually the audience scores are high if critic scores are low, ie Alita, but there seems to be a general consensus here. I'm still gonna watch it when it comes out digitally tho.
Grabs a bottle of bleach and rinses eyes with it.
Looks like it will be a mix of Capcom CGI and close reaction shots of washed up actors.
I mean for a 19 second teaser, not sure what else we could expect. I'll reserve judgment
@Lizuka How about a Dino Crisis film? Or Devil May Cry? I'd totally be up for either of those, IF Anderson was not allowed anywhere near them. Wish these adaptions got some decent talent in the writing / Directing departments.
I'm really hoping the Detective Pikachu film wasn't a one-off. Then again, I'm doubtful Illumination will make a good Mario movie, even if Miyamoto is overseeing production. 😞
At least the monsters look like they are supposed to and the weapons and armor they've shown looks legit. We are all judging from a very short clip taken on someone's phone. As far as the plot, it could be worse. It's not like Monster Hunter is known for its iconic characters. Most dont even have a name
Yes, use fire against Diablos/Rathalos, no problem there.
Why does this even exist?
Well, in a word... no.
inb4 Tencent makes Monster Hunter the movie the game
I think my credit score went down just for watching this teaser.
Aw man, the day before my birthday? What a crappy present haha
At least Capcom does their adaptations right, with the exception of Street Fighter.
I literally do not have enough 'Nope' for this film...
@Kal_
Actually, middling review scores on aggregate sites means there isn't a consensus at all. That's literally exactly what it means.
Ah Milla, the patron saint of crap films.
Would prefer for it to be an anime movie. My main concern is... Please keep the games like they are. Games prior to there Hollywood movie start going downhill making them with a more casual approach.
Kinda tired of this director merely using game licenses as vehicles for his wife. Let me guess, she will be completely op, have little development, and just be seen as the bad ass. 🙄
"Wow, just wow. Take my money now. I am so looking forward to this" said no one in the audience.
Paul W.S Anderson presents another insipid vehicle for his wife Mila Jovovich.
Ron. Why?
I actually quite enjoy a cheesy film but depends on the quota. This looks too much atm.
lifts hands
I like it
A Capcom film with Paul W S Anderson and Mila Jovovich? What could possibly go wrong? 🤔
That footage reeks of a 1990's "direct to home video" B-movie.
Paul Anderson's wife, the movie series..
All these video game movies...
I hope that MGS movie comes out.
Wellllp.....at least Milla is still super hot
Capcom, if you could stop giving your licenses to Paul W.S. Anderson, that'd be great. Give them to people who actually know how to direct a good movie.
Well, the monsters look good, after all they should be CG with at least models imported from the games. Whoever clocked over 800h of MH can tell that animation from Diablos
What is really bothering me is: will the military guys be fighting the monsters with weapons like machine guns? I can only assume so
Mmmmh campy! Looks like the live action trailer for MK II back in the day!
It's Rathalos, from Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker!
Every single scifi/fantasy/game movie that I've seen Milla Jovovich in I would at least describe with the word "fun". Is it the best movie ever or what I wanted for a franchise (RE)? Probably not... but I've never walked out wishing I had my time and money back.
The sound was like bowser coming out of the sand.
Also the actors is like the creators clicked on a Random button to select them lol.
I hate the resident evil movies and her husband that directed them. This is going to be garbage
LOL This looks so bad. Ron Perlman looks hilarious. Still gonna watch it.
@Hinade That you don't need to shoehorn "real world" into everything as Hollywood somehow try to do with everything as if afraid no video games franchises will ever be popular if the US of A isn't at least namedropped in the story or something.
Detective Pikachu might have gone a live action route, but it went with one that clearly embraced the universe it's from rather than somehow try to shoehorn it into the "real" world as if that would somehow improve immersion rather than break it as it almost invariably does.
I think I have higher hopes for the sonic movie after witnessing this.
At least it’s not some “woke” all empowered female cast loaded with feminism and political correctness.
I don't see how people can tell that this looks bad? 20 seconds and it looks more interesting than most Hollywood action movies..but why are people reacting like it's the next sonic movie?
How can anyone say if this movie will be bad/good, after this ultra short trailer? 🤔
When is Tetris The Movie coming out?
Ugh. Transported to antother world trope in a live action movie is just painful. Remember the super Mario Bros live action movie where they got transported to Mushroom Kingdom? Member? You member.
Also, let me guess, she is going to somehow require no training in the MH world, purely because she's a soldier in the real world? Pffft. Sorry honey, but being a monster Hunter is way more taxing than being a normal soldier irl. Of course that's to be expected. You're fighting GIANT MONSTERS THAT PUT TANKS TO SHAME. But nah, I'm sure her military training is all she needs. Rolls eyes
Why didnt they just make a normal MH story? They could have just made her be a huntress in the MH world, and have no real world. It would have made it much better than the transport bs and know how to kick ass automatically. I know it's not out yet, but I bet you that's exactly how it's going to play out.
@brandonbwii Watch her become better than all the other Monster Hunters, lol. Know what would be a huge twist? She dies 5 mins after arriving and the story focuses on the hunters and huntresses who actually know how to do this stuff.
@Kal_ alitta was the goriest no blood movie. It was awesome just long with no payoff... Other than robot Gore.
@mist Are you kidding? W S Anderson movies are the most female empowering movies ever done in the worse possible way. It’s all just about how perfect Milla Jovovich is. I personally love female empowering movies, I just like them to be done right and make sense. After seeing the Resident Evil movies I don’t have much faith in this.
That was the most touching news for me because I have watched the team interview and I can feel that their effort in making a good film. You can also catch it on cinema apk, get it: https://www.cinemaapk.info/ for all kinds of updates regarding the milla.
