A, and now we have learned more about it. We already knew Resident Evil series director Paul W.S. Anderson is attached to direct, and now we know Milla Jovovich will star in the Monster Hunter film. Jovovich, who is married to Anderson, starred in all of the Resident Evil movies., the Monster Hunter movie will enter production in September with a reported budget of $60 million. The German production company Constantin, which also worked on Resident Evil, is also behind the Monster Hunter movie.
The film will shoot in and around Cape Town, South Africa. Constantin boss Martin Moszkowicz told Variety that he thinks the Monster Hunter movie will be 'stylish' like the Resident Evil movies. 'Paul has proven over and over he does stylish movies. It's one of his big strong points. He can make a movie look good, is very much into visuals,' the executive explained. He added that the plan is for Monster Hunter to become a series just like Resident Evil did. The six Resident Evil movies made more than $1.2 billion at the global box office over 10 years, so Constantin will be looking to repeat that success to at least some degree.
