The film is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, the director of the "Resident Evil" series, which has become a blockbuster hit, grossing over 20 billion yen in total box-office revenue. Starring Milla Jovovich, who is regularly ranked as one of the "Favorite Action Heroines". The strongest tag team following the "Resident Evil" movie series has come together again. The film also stars Tony Jaa, who made a name for himself around the world with his brilliant action in "Wild Speed: SKY MISSION," and Ron Perlman, the famous actor known for his starring role in the "Hellboy" series. Actress Kona Yamazaki, who made her foray into Hollywood with this film, is representing Japan.

Both game and movie fans were excited by the powerful VFX scenes of giant monsters!
The intense hunting action unfolds to the tune of one of the most famous songs in the game series, "Hero's Proof!
And finally! The trailer for the film, which also features the popular fire dragon Rio Reus, has been released!

The trailer starts with a scene in which a special unit led by Artemis (Milla Jovovich) suddenly encounters a gigantic sandstorm and is sent into a world overrun by giant monsters. The unit wanders into the desert and is attacked by a black-horned dragon (Diablos subspecies), a monster that appears to be hunting the monster. A hunter (Tony Jaa) appears on the scene, a man who hunts monsters for a living. Modern weapons are useless against this monster, but the weapons of this world are effective. In the trailer, familiar weapons from the game appear, including the "bow," which the hunter aims at the Diablos subspecies, and the "twin swords," which Artemis learns how to use. In addition, a series of VFX images of new monsters have been unveiled. The "Nelscylla," an eerie monster that looks like a giant spider and attacks with poison by binding its prey with its spitting threads, is also featured in the trailer.

Finally, in the last part of the trailer, the fire dragon "Rio Reus," a very popular video game monster nicknamed "the king of the sky," makes its descent. How will Artemis fight against Rio Reus, which flies freely with its large wings and attacks with its breath of fire? To hunt or to be hunted... Will she be able to clear the fierce battles with the giant monsters that come one after another and return to her original world?
One of the highlights of the film is the convincing performance by the actors, including the physical challenge of Milla Jovovich in the lead role, Muay Thai action by martial arts master Tony Jaa, and the first Hollywood action by Kona Yamazaki, who plays the popular "receptionist" character in the game.

The trailer also has a fun twist for fans of the game.
The music used in the trailer is "Proof of Heroism," one of the most famous songs in the game series, which fans will say, "This is MonHun! In addition, the familiar "meat grilling" scene of BBQing with the meat of the herbivorous dragon Apucheros even makes an appearance. You can't take your eyes off the "this, this, this! You can't take your eyes off the "this and that!

How will director Anderson, who has led the "Resident Evil" series into a smash hit with his love for the original story, depict the world of "MonHun," of which he says he is a big fan, and what kind of hunting action will Mira, who has established herself as an action actress starring in the same series, show us against giant monsters? What kind of hunting action will Mila, who starred in the series and has established herself as an action star, show us? Expectations are high for the next news of this film, which is now in full swing for next spring's "MonHun" festival that will leave its mark on the history of "Monster Hunter!
