Here is Milla Jovovich’s agent: “Okay, Milla, looks like we ran the ‘Resident Evil’ franchise into the ground, no gas left in the tank! We gotta get you a part–a part in another video game-to-movie adaptation…” Then came the “Monster Hunter” movie starring Milla and co.
Constantin Film’s has around $60M at their disposal meaning they are at least going to make the live-action “MH” flick look pretty. In a strange twist of fate, the same production company made all of the “Resident Evils.” The “RE” movies have been a guilty pleasure of mine, no matter how much they deviated from the video game’s story line. So, you could definitely say I’m curious about this new project.
The director, Paul W. S. Anderson, has talked about the concept of the flick. He’s going for that parallel universe feel, where the main character slaves over a dead-end job to then rise to the occasion when the said parallel universe invades the real world. Oh, and Anderson says he wants to turn this into another franchise. You got all that plebs?
Anyway, Milla is the face of another video game movie… It’s wild. I wonder if she’s like a weeb or something. The actress likely has no idea wtf kinda journey she’s embarking on. Fingers crossed the project is extra weird, featuring chef/warrior cats, odd eating segments and other “Monster Hunter” quirks.
