Let's do this
Let's go. The people who made this movie love "Monster Hunter". It was a crazy shoot,
amazing locations this is an adventure paul's very successful at taking games and turning
them into movies it's lawrenceville radio with monsters an epic genre movie
i was so excited when we saw stats arcade stream of the game one of the great things
about these landscapes is it makes the monsters look more real tony is like a real life superhero
it's crazy miele brings a real inherent toughness and sense of honor to artemis one of the features
of the game is they have these huge weapons i was always a real fan of the duo blades
to see all of these characters come to life it was a wonderful moment
i got into monster hunter 11 years ago i played it in japan i fell in love with the creatures the
beautiful landscapes the themes of the video game so i optioned it from capcom my husband
optioned the property rights to this game like 10 years ago and he's been obsessed with this game
for the last decade this has been the longest i've ever worked on a film project and i'm kind
of glad that it took that long because the game has evolved it's become a worldwide phenomenon
monster hunter is a capcom game and they've done a fantastic job in building this franchise
it's been remarkable how much they've allowed us to take this project and adapt it in a way that we
think it could become a feature abstract the fans of all these games are very passionate about the
games and so when you stick your head above the parapet and make a film about the game you better
get it right there's not a lot of information on the internet so we hired a consultant who's
a gamer who's managed to finish this game he came in and he would race avatars for us and then we
managed to compile quite a good wardrobe that we could pull from we reference things like you might
not notice straight away things like hieroglyphics on the rocks for instance you know the game
is splattered with him and so it's a subtle thing but it means a massive thing to the fans
now mila on the other hand when she became involved in the movie she
started playing monster hunter world and her favorite weaponry was the dual blades
so we gave her the dual blades in the movie ah i love how they power up
what is that you gotta tell me about that and the ease with which you can use them in the video game
because i tried all different manner of weapons to see what i liked best and i felt like the dual
blades they were just an all-around great weapon miele swords she carries them on her back like
this the first time mila walked into my office she picked these things up and she i i can't do it
i love sword work and so it really gave me a chance to kind of do what i'm good at doing
hi i'm kerry vandenhenfeldt i'm the pups master on monster hunter
it starts with paul he gives his vision and then we create it big my god
it's one of the features of the game is they have these huge weapons which is fine when
you're a pixelated character but when you have a human being that has to handle these massive
weapons it's more of a challenge and i remember showing tony his weapons for the first time
i showed him the great sword and it's taller than tony is
everybody picks up this sword and goes ah tony jar walked into my office he picked it up and he went
he started doing the most amazing stuff with he picked it up he starts twirling
it around and he went they said that's great tony but you also have to carry this
and we gave him the great bow as well which is even bigger than the sword
when we made them we give a copy to stunts and once they happy with it then they bring
the cast member in and they show him what to do and then obviously in tony jar he brings his
interpretation to it they train and they train and they train so by the time they get to set
that's a well-oiled machine hey it's lisa here with your daily action movie trivia did you know
that for bruce lee's way of the dragon the actor hand-picked chuck norris as his opponent for the
movie's climatic fight norris was one of the few martial artists fast enough to convincingly beat
lee the fight scene filled up a quarter of the script and took more than 45 hours to film stay
