The Hunt
The writers of Blumhouse ’s controversial horror filmThe Huntknow exactly where they might take the tale if a continuation ends up being made . The Huntwas originally planned to hit theaters last fall , until Fox News and PresidentDonald Trumpboth determine to publicly bonk the celluloid , under the seeming belief that its plot was meant to glorify bounteous on bourgeois violence . That ’s despite the fact that no one had actually seen the film yet , and that the trailer really did n’t provide much data on how the whole affair mould .
All the first lagger made clean was thatThe Huntwas about fat multitude hunting poor people for sport , with anything political beyond that basically being an inference . After all , it ’s not like there are n’t productive Republicans and hapless Democrats , or liberals that live in red states and Conservative that know in aristocratic body politic . It turn out though that this marketing may have been shoddy . When it was announce in February thatThe Huntwas being put back on the schedule , a new poke released that threw into doubt everything anyone thought they knew .

Thesecond preview forThe Huntthrows the full scenario into interrogation . Is the titular hunting actually happening , or is it all just some crazy cabal hypothesis , possibly based on a falsehood intentionally plan to rile up the public ? UntilThe Hunthits theater , we wo n’t know for sure what the Sojourner Truth is . However , writersDamon Lindelofand Nick Cuse already have an melodic theme in place for a possibleThe Hunt 2 .
The Hunt Writers Know What A Sequel Would Look Like
Damon Lindelof : Well , I do n’t get laid . Does Jason Blum do sequels ? I ’m joke . There ’s literally , like , Insidious 9 . Yeah . I intend , Nick and I have certainly fantasized about the idea . I think that to do The Hunt 2 and just say , " Ooh , now there ’s a bigger hunt . " That ’s not interesting to us . But the film is really about conspiracy theory and what people will believe , and asks the question , " Is there any conspiracy theory that ’s so ridiculous that no one would think it ? " And that feels to me like it ’s a very fertile infinite for storytelling . And so the estimate of take more conversations about what people believe versus what is actually lawful - we hear things in the earth and go , " That ca n’t be true , " and it turn out to be straight - I think that would make for a very interesting potential sequel . "
Nick Cuse : Maybe . Yeah , I mean , if people like it , it ’s always a conversation deserving having . But I consider the estimation that ’s interesting out of doors of just this movie is , " What is a cabal that became real ? "
Lindelof and Cuse twit a o.k. line with the quote above , still get out possible viewer uncertain what is really go bad on inThe Hunt . They mention conspiracy theories a mint , which incline to that interpretation , but also say it would be potential to do a continuation set around a new hunt , which suggest said case is a real thing that happens . Then again , Cuse mention a conspiracy theory becoming substantial , so perhaps that ’s what happened . Whatever ends up being the casing , it ’s definitely subject affair that could lend itself to further exploration .
Of course , none of these suppositious subsequence idea will matter if moviegoers do n’t go seeThe Huntthis weekend , turn the once canceled flick into a box seat office winner . WithCoronavirus concernssweeping America , and public gatherings being canceled give and ripe , one wonder if that will begin to effect flick theatre attendance as well . For now though , The Huntis on .
