Coming to theatres and On Demand from writer/director Liming Li and Magnet Releasing is the next part of the journey of the person we have come to know as IP MAN: Kung fu Master.
Ip Man (Dennis To) has settled into his life in 1949, Foshan, China as a police officer sworn to uphold the law. Knowing full well that not all policemen believe the same, Ip decides to go after mobster Third Father (Michael Wong) who is responsible for the death of his police captain. While in custody he is killed and daughter Quingchuan (Yuan Li Ruoxin) holds Ip personally responsible and as the new leader of The Axe Gang, wants blood.

After finding great success with his
Resident Evil adaptations, writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson has now set his cinematic sights on another monstrous Capcom franchise:
Monster Hunter. In a new behind-the-scenes featurette provided exclusively to SYFY WIRE, Anderson explains how he embraced the customizable nature of the video games when it came to crafting his main, beast-slaying protagonist, Artemis played by the filmmaker s frequent collaborator and real-world wife, Milla Jovovich. She s the new character, she s the avatar for the audience, and she s their way into the world of the video game, Anderson says. So when you play the video game for the first time, you know nothing about the world. You will follow her adventures in the same way that you would follow the adventures of your own character.

Resident Evil adaptation,
Monster Hunter takes some creative liberties with the source material for its live-action debut, which sees a band of stranded soldiers transported to a faraway realm populated by megafauna large enough to make a T. Rex look like a chihuahua.
The group, desperately seeking a way to return home and led by Captain Natalia Artemis (Milla Jovovich), quickly learn how hopelessly outmatched they are against the natives of this strange land, which shrug off traditional bullets as little more than mosquito bites. Only by completing a crash course in monster hunting given by the mysterious Hunter (Tony Jaa) are Artemis and her team able to survive their inhospitable (and hopefully temporary) new battlefield.
