According to Variety, Constantin Film will begin filming a Monster Hunter movie in September with...wait for it... director Paul Anderson, producer Jeremy Bolt, and actress Milla Jovovich.
Let the groaning commence. Or continue if you've been groaning since 2012.

Anderson, Bolt, and Jovovich, are all responsible for the 'Resident Evil' series of movies. Constantin Film is currently working on a reboot of RE, taking place in South Africa. Executive Producer Martin Moszkowicz spoke with Variety at the Cannes Film Festival about the video game movie. Anderson has produced the script and there's a $60 million budget backing it. Moszkowicz added that a number of the production and visual teams behind the 'Resident Evil' movies are going to a part of this project.
Capcom would have to be on board with this for them to release the rights to Constantin Film. While so far Anderson is not set to direct and only write the script, it's certain that 'Monster Hunter' will be very similar to 'Resident Evil.' A few names will be taken from the game and the other 99.5% made up with no connections to the original content.
While I'm still against the 'Resident Evil' films and what they represent, their generic action-ness has enough mass appeal to have kept audiences entertained. There continued success is enough to show that there is money if they plug away at the same formula. So expect a 'Monster Hunter' Paul Anderson movie to come out sometime next year.
Aside, Constantin Film is responsible for the Fan4stic movie from 2015. Be worried.
