Paul W.S. Anderson Teases the 60-Foot Tall Monsters Milla Jovovich Battles in ‘Monster Hunter’

Milla Jovovich sci-fi movie Monster Hunter

The marketing for Paul W.S. Anderson‘s video game adaptation Monster Hunter has been entirely centered on star Milla Jovovich up to this point, but let’s not forget that Jovovich’s co-stars – in addition to Tony JaaTip ‘T.I.’ Harris, Meagan GoodDiego Boneta, Josh Helman and Ron Perlman – are, well, the monsters that her character will be hunting down.

Speaking with Empire Magazine, brought to our attention by Syfy Wire this week, Anderson finally teases Monster Hunter‘s monsters, which he says are all “50-60 feet tall“!

“They’re really amazing. We’re building them in even more detail than the dinosaurs of Jurassic World,” Anderson told Empire. “And they look even better, because we shot on real locations in South Africa and Namibia, which gives the animators something to really match into: real wind, real dust, real sun-flare. The monsters are the only CG thing in there.”

Here’s the official plot rundown…

“Behind our world, there is another: a world of dangerous and powerful monsters that rule their domain with deadly ferocity. When Lt. Artemis (Milla Jovovich) and her loyal soldiers are transported from our world to the new world, the unflappable lieutenant receives the shock of her life. In her desperate battle for survival against enormous enemies with incredible powers and unstoppable, revolting attacks, Artemis will team up with a mysterious man who has found a way to fight back.”

Screen Gems is set to release Monster Hunter on September 4, 2020.

Little Mermaid horror

Following in the wake of Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse getting their own horror movies, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next to get the twisted treatment.

Originally published in 1837, the original tale of The Little Mermaid is now in the public domain, and MSR Media International presents their own horror version of the tale this year.

The Little Mermaid is being distributed by Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film has officially been rated “R” this week for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”

In the film from director Leigh Scott, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.

“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”

Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff and Jeff Denton star in The Little Mermaid.

You can watch the trailer now over on MSR Media International’s website.
