In her desperate battle for survival against enormous enemies with incredible powers and unstoppable, revolting attacks, Artemis will team up with a mysterious man who has found a way to fight back.
The ensemble of the cast of the film includes the likes of Milla Jovovich who has led the super-hit Resident Evil film franchise as the main character of Monster Hunter, Tony Jaa who starred in Ong Bak film series and is popular for his martial art skills. Tony will be playing The Hunter, and Ron Perlman will be seen playing the Admiral, leader of Hunter’s crew. With this exciting cast, T.I Harris will be embracing the role of a sniper named Link. The makers have worked discreetly in casting their actors to form up an outstanding company of actors.
