Milla Jovovich to Star in Monster Hunter Movie
Director of the Resident Evil movies, Paul W.S. Anderson is working once again with Milla Jovovich in Monster Hunter movie.
Although video game movies have a track record of being unable to please critics or even successful at box-office, Hollywood will keep making them. What we have up next is something we never expected but would still welcome anyway.
Reportedly, Constantin Film has just signed director Paul W.S. Anderson (Alien vs. Predator, Death Race) for a live-action Monster Hunter movie, which will also star his wife and actress Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element, Ultraviolet).

Jovovich starred in all six films of RE film franchise and Anderson directed four of them except Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Extinction. Given their past records, current budget will not likely to be a risky venture for Constantin Film.
