Paul WS Anderson Is Trying To Make A Monster Hunter Movie
Paul W.S Anderson has had a long, long relationship with Capcom with his Resident Evil films about to turn 15 and release the final movie.
It seems he isn't done with the company though. Deadline are reporting that he and Jeremy Bolt, who help make up Impact Pictures, are currently trying to sell a Monster Hunter movie next. The description read:
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.
While popular, Monster Hunter has never truely cracked the Western nut. It certainly has more than a handful of fans here, but it is one of the biggest gaming IPs in Japan with each new game doing gangbusters in the market. That, along with the fact that video game movies are hot right now, I can totally see this happening.
