Anderson revealed that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2012\/09\/resident_evil_director_wants_to_make_a_monster_hunter_flick\">a film conversion was being planned<\/a>, and just a couple of years ago he confirmed that talks were <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2016\/11\/a_monster_hunter_movie_series_is_on_the_cards\">still ongoing<\/a>. Now, Capcom has announced that the movie has indeed been slated for production, and has even offered up some details on its plot and the people involved.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, Paul W. S. Anderson &#8211; who just so happens to be the man behind the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/resident_evil_revelations_collection\"><strong>Resident Evil<\/strong><\/a> film series, too &#8211; is acting as both writer and director. Constantin Film will be the studio behind the movie&#8217;s production (which has previously released the likes of Asphaltgorillas and Sauerkraut Koma), while Japanese company Toho will distribute the film in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, the film will be based on the Monster Hunter game franchise, centring around &#8220;two protagonists who come from different worlds and must cooperate in fighting monsters in order to survive.&#8221; At the moment, any particular timeframe for when the movie will begin recording is unknown.<\/p>\n<p>While video game movie tie-ins have a history of generating generally negative responses from viewers and critics, Anderson&#8217;s Resident Evil films stand among the few that have gone on to be commercial successes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Are you intrigued by the potential of a Monster Hunter movie?
