The game series follows a hero character who protects and defends villages in a fantasy setting by fighting and trapping monsters.
Monster Hunter is a game series by Japanese developer Capcom and while it’s mostly popular in Japan and China, it’s got a strong fan base in the United States as well.
Paul W.S. Anderson has apparently already written the first draft of the script and they have still and VFX visual renderings of the monsters, including an image of a dragon attacking Los Angeles International Airport, so we’ll apparently be getting fantasy monsters attacking the modern world in the story.
The setup for the film, according to Deadline, will follow an ordinary man who discovers that he’s descended from an ancient hero and must travel to a magical land to learn how to fight monsters.
