The hunt is on as Monster Hunter reveals its first trailer.

Written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, the new fantasy-action film is based on the global video game series phenomenon of the same name by Capcom.

Released in 2004, the Monster Hunter video game franchise is a series of fantasy-themed action role-playing video games that started on the PlayStation 2. 

The film’s main cast include Milla Jovovich, Tony Jaa, Tip “T.I.” Harris, Meagan Good, Diego Boneta, Josh Helman, Jin Au-Yeung, and Ron Perlman. 

The story is set in a military, action-ridden fantasy setting. When an unexpected sandstorm brings Elite Military Force Captain Artemis (Jovovich) and her unit (Harris, Good, Boneta) through a portal, they are shocked to discover a hostile and unknown world that is populated by deadly monsters.

In a race for survival, the unit encounters a mysterious hunter (Jaa), who may be their last hope as they look for a way home. Faced with unimaginable danger, the group combines their unique abilities to band together for the ultimate showdown.

Monster Hunter will be distributed in Philippine cinemas by Sony Pictures Releasing International through their local office, Colombia Pictures. – with reports from Winona Castelo/Rappler.com
