Monster Hunter (2021)
About the film . . .
- Plot summary: When an unexpected sandstorm transports Lt. Artemis (Milla Jovovich) and her unit (TI Harris, Meagan Good, Diego Boneta) to a new world, the soldiers are shocked to discover that this hostile and unknown environment is home to enormous and terrifying monsters immune to their firepower. In their desperate battle for survival, the unit encounters the mysterious Hunter (Tony Jaa), whose unique skills allow him to stay one step ahead of the powerful creatures. As Artemis and Hunter slowly build trust, she discovers that he is part of a team led by the Admiral (Ron Perlman). Facing a danger so great it could threaten to destroy their world, the brave warriors combine their unique abilities to band together for the ultimate showdown. (Adaptation of the video game Monster Hunter)

- First day of filming on #monsterhuntermovie based on the epic game #monsterhunterworld! As you can see, my character is glamorous as usual! ;) Here's the make up progression by the awesome @kerry_skelton_ from beginning of dirt/wounds, to the finished product. I've been training for this day since February, so definitely excited to start production! #rangersleadtheway #strongwomen #capetowndiary (Oct 5)
- #setlife First week on #monsterhuntermovie is coming to a close and it's been INSANE! We've been shooting in a location called Atlantis Dunes outside Cape Town which is just breathtaking. White sand as far as the eye can see (also in everyone's eyes so no one can see and in our teeth too!) Here's some pics from week 1! @tonyjaaofficial and I chilling between set ups and some great shots of the production team out on location. Enjoy!

- Alpha Team between takes. So much fun hanging with these two, the gorgeous and super talented @meagangood and the one and only @troubleman31. The days are long and exhausting out here in the desert, but it's so worth it and we really feel like a close knit team now. @giftedtalents p.s. for fans of the game, all the armor and bone blades are gonna be in the movie too, it will all make sense when you see it! #monsterhuntermovie #monsterhunterworld #cederbergdiary (Oct 24)
- Captain Natalie Artemis. Ranger. Monster Hunter. Just a little peek for all the @monsterhunterworld fans out there who were worried the other day. Here is Captain Artemis wearing a "slinger" on her arm. I will also post a pic at some point of some of the incredible MH weapons we've recreated for the film. #monsterhuntermovie #monsterhunterworld #tankwadiary (Oct 25)
- Happy Halloween from Alpha Team, not in costume this year but in UNIFORM! We didn't get to go trick or treating but it's a real treat to work with these incredible people on #monsterhuntermovie@meagangood @diego @iammcjin (Nov 1)
