Martin Moszkowicz, Chairman of the Executive Board of Constantin Film, said at Cannes that Constantin Film is planning the project as a film series, adding, “we are in the business of brand creation.”
Constantin Film will release the film in German-speaking territories, Tencent Pictures will release the film in China, and Sony’s Screen Gems will release the film in the United States.
The film will star Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil movie franchise) as film-original character Captain Natalie Artemis and martial arts actor Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak film series) as “The Hunter.”
Additionally, Ron Perlman (Hellboy film series, Pacific Rim, Sons of Anarchy) plays the Admiral, who is the leader of The Hunter’s crew.
