Monster Hunter movie director says both the series producer and director were very involved with the adaptation

Capcom took a very hands-off approach to the Resident Evil film series, and it seemed to work for them. That cinematic run brought out 6 movies in all, and they grossed a combined 1+ billion worldwide. You might think Capcom would do the same for their first Monster Hunter movie, but that's not the case.

In an interview with Game Informer, director Paul W.S. Anderson said that Kaname Fujioka and Ryozo Tsujimoto, director and producer of the Monster Hunter games, were heavily involved in the movie's creation.

"I would say Fujioka-san and Tsujimoto-san, we were in the driving seat together, sharing the steering wheel. Or we had three separate steering wheels. My feeling was if I can please Fujioka-san and Tsujimoto-san and the level of detail and clarity and specificity that they want, if they're happy, then even the most hardcore fan is going to be happy."
