A Monster Hunter film is in the works

Monster Hunter films have been rumoured for a while, but according to Deadline one is in the process of coming to fruition now, and Paul W.S. Anderson of the Resident Evil films will be involved with it.

"The central characters are very relatable American characters," Anderson said. "You take a person from the ordinary world who thinks they're in a dead end job, they have no future, they feel like their life's a failure, it's going nowhere, like Keanu Reeves in The Matrix. It's about a normal American who gets dragged into this parallel world, this Monster Hunter world. Then eventually the parallel world ends up coming to our world. So you have the creatures from the Monster Hunter world invading our world."

"It's definitely intended to be a franchise, because the movie starts in our world, and then it goes to the Monster Hunter world, and then the final act comes back to our world, and it's basically this epic battle in and around LAX," he continued. "Then at the end we're suddenly confronted with the fact that the mythological creatures of our world have come back to wreak vengeance. So we definitely have the second film where that would be planned out."

A piece of concept art was also included, which we've inserted below. Do you think these plans for a Monster Hunter film look good? More importantly, do you think Paul W.S. Anderson is the man for the job?
