The Hunt
Director Craig Zobel says he was surprised by the controversial first trailer for his satiric horror movie , The Hunt . Originally scheduled to give in September 2019 , the photographic film keep an eye on a group of unknown who find themselves being hunt by wealthy " elites " for sport ( or , at least , so they believe).Universal canceledThe Hunt ’s releasefollowing the mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso last August , and shortly after President Donald Trump criticized the flick on his Twitter report . The studio apartment has since re - scheduled it to arrive this calendar month andreleased a fresh trailerthat , unlike the original promo , play up the film ’s satire and social commentary over its thriller elements .
In a late interview withPlayboy , Zobel admitted"I was a little surprised by the first trailer . The ad for certain did n’t help us , because it did n’t quite narrate the story . " He went on to say"People were able to be amiss things because they did n’t have any data other than what was in the preview , which was not all of the information , for sure . “The director by and by total there were Twitter describe clear for three days that posted"nothing but anti - Craig Zobel tweets"after the controversy , before insisting hedidn’t change anything aboutThe Huntafter the fact and"no one has asked me to .

The Hunt ’s original trailer was for sure a far war cry from the one currently bet in theaters . It mostly focused on the film ’s survival horror aspects and go around any mention of its satirical use of politically - loaded terminal figure like " deplorables " and " elites " . Blumhouse , which is producingThe Hunt , has had a good deal of success in the yesteryear with movies that blend comment and horror ( likeGet OutandThe Purgeseries ) - something that throw the decision to under - play the film ’s caustic remark in the first trailer all the more queer . Ironically , Universal might ’ve done that to try and avoid creating an unneeded tilt around the flick , only to do the perfect opposite . Either way , people can judgeThe Huntfor themselves next hebdomad .
Here is the prescribed outline forThe Hunt :
In the shadow of a dark internet cabal possibility , a group of elite group gathers for the very first meter at a remote Manor House to hunt average Americans for sport . But the elites ’ professional plan is about to be derail because one of The Hunted , Crystal ( Betty Gilpin , GLOW ) , knows The Hunters ’ game better than they do . She turns the tables on the killers , pluck them off , one by one , as she makes her way toward the orphic woman ( two - metre Oscar ® winner Hilary Swank ) at the center of it all .
