Hunter × Hunter
Before the first anime television series was created, a short film adaptation of "Hunter × Hunter" was shown as part of the 1998 "Jump Super Anime Tour" alongside similar adaptations of "Seikimatsu Leader den Takeshi!" and "One Piece". Produced by Studio Pierrot and directed by Noriyuki Abe, it depicts the early events of the manga up to Gon's ocean voyage from Whale Island.
Monster Hunter (film)
During the September 2016 Tokyo Game Show Capcom producer Ryozo Tsujimoto stated that a live-action "Monster Hunter" film was in development within Hollywood. In November 2016, "Deadline" reported that Anderson and producer Jeremy Bolt, both who helped to bring Capcom's "Resident Evil" game to a series of films, had obtained the rights from Capcom for the "Monster Hunter" adoption after about five years of discussion. The two anticipate a series of "Monster Hunter" films. Anderson said he was drawn to the "Monster Hunter" property, not only because of the series' popularity, but also for the "incredibly beautiful, immersive world they've created". Anderson had already penned out a script, which would involve an American being dragged into the parallel universe that the "Monster Hunter" series was set in, learning how to fight monsters, and then had to deal with the situation when monsters cross back into the real world and start attacking, such as a final climatic battle at Los Angeles International Airport. Constantin Film has confirmed they will be producing the film, with the aim of going into production in late 2017 or early 2018.
