　　Here is the official description of the untitled film (via Deadline): "Behind our world, there is another--a world of dangerous and powerful monsters that rule their domain with deadly ferocity. When Lt. Artemis (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, terrifying attacks, Artemis will team up with a mysterious man (Tony Jaa) who has found a way to fight back."

　　Sons of Anarchy star Ron Perlman and rapper-turned-actor T.I. Harris also star in the film.

　　The six Resident Evil movies from Jovovich and Anderson made more than $1 billion at the box office, and the team will surely be looking to replicate that success with the Monster Hunter film.

　　While Jovovich and Anderson may be finished with Resident Evil movies, a reboot of the franchise is in the works and is said to be a "priority" for development.

　　As for the Monster Hunter video game series, the latest instalment, Monster Hunter World, recently crossed a massive 11 million copies sold.
