If you are optimistic for a Paul W.S. Anderson adaptation then I feel bad for you.Thursday, November 19, 2020 @ 12:42 PM
It's obvious this was made to be successful in China, not the US. Makes sense seeing Tencent is the biggest producing company behind this movie.

The upcoming Monster Hunter movie has received a new Chinese-language trailer, showing off scenes and locations that look a lot more like the games it is based on.
The first Monster Hunter trailer released last month, and despite looking like a bit of daft fun, it didn't seem particularly faithful to the Monster Hunter games. As such, Monster Hunter fans weren't very impressed with this new American-militarised vision of the beloved franchise
However, this new Chinese-language trailer looks far closer in style and tone to the series we know and love. You've got monsters, you've got big bloody weapons, you've even got a Palico chef! And with nary an assault rifle to be seen either. It's hard not to notice how differently the film is being marketing to a non-American audience, but we're certainly a tad more optimistic for the film having watched the trailer below.
Monster Hunter hits cinemas on 4th December 2020.
