Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Event Horizon), the movie will alter the normal Monster Hunter storyline somewhat for the big screen. Artemis and her unit of elite soldiers are transported from our world to one filled with monsters (largely drawn from the games), and need to partner with The Hunter to survive and find a way home.
Anderson has previously stated that all of Artemis' costumes, weapons and equipment are based directly on the games - currently everything we've seen hews closest to Monster Hunter World (not a surprise, given that game's huge success).
We've already put together a list of 12 details Monster Hunter fans will recognise based on what we've seen of the film.The film will be rated PG-13, and arrives on September 4.
It's far from the only movie based on a video game in development right now - we've got a huge list of projects in the works. It's no surprise, given the fact that game movies are increasingly big business, and might actually be, you know, not terrible these days.
