‘The Hunt’ Director Breaks Silence on Film’s Cancellation (EXCLUSIVE)

Craig Zobel, director of “The Hunt,” hopes that the controversial political thriller will eventually be seen by audiences, and argues that its message has been misrepresented in media r…

Some key takeaways:
  • It's supposed to take the piss out of both sides, showing how the left and the right need to lol calm down and end the us v. them mentality.
  • It's written by Damon Lindelof (Democrat, natch) and Nick Cuse (A registered Republican).
  • Once test audiences actually watched the movie, they didn't have a problem with it.

I forgot this was a thing until now, lol! Thanks for the reminder.

Kinda funny that lefties think they can make media about killing right-wingers and not expect 'a taste of your own medicine' sort of pushback.

Haha yes.

I have a half serious feeling that this was all a ploy on Universal’s part to go from nobody giving a toss about it to everyone wanting to see it.

it be some damn effective marketing, like sony and the interview. Think of the news article, the hunt proves there is no power to right wing cancel culture.
 
Scratch This Nut dijo:
You guys have memes, we have cancel culture. Wanna trade?

Oh I know which side has what, the right can never get organized enough to properly form a cancel culture. I just mean Hollywood has a tendency to create movies that show disdain for the right, like the purge/preacher/last temptation of jesus christ, that they always try to market as the movie the right can't cancel. Its like how the Interview, an unfunny piece of shit, became a movie about freedom of speech and how comedy is meant to be offensive even though the left tends to not like it when you poke fun at them.

Controversial film 'The Hunt' gets green light, set for March release…

Universal Pictures has decided to move forward with the release of their controversial film "The Hunt," after it was pulled from theaters last year following the mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas.

A studio source confirmed the project's revival to Fox News and granted access to a private screening to prep audiences for what's to come when it's released on March 13.

The movie drew criticism in part because of its level of violence and its politically charged theme. The dark comedy revolves around average Americans who are kidnapped from conservative America, and hunted for sport by pompous, politically correct elitists — often while being called "deplorables."

The film's co-writer and producer, Damon Lindelof ("Lost," "The Leftovers"), spoke with Fox News about the film and said it was never their intention to create division but to poke fun at both sides of the aisle.

“We set out to tell a story that didn’t take sides and that meant, yes, being fair and balanced in satirically roasting all sides... to have fun without trying to force a message down anyone’s throat or wagging our fingers... to trust the audience to make up their minds for themselves."

He added, "We understand how some believe we are in divided times, but nothing brings us together like a movie. And we hope 'The Hunt' can do just that."

Another source close to the film said the movie is strictly satire and meant to stimulate spirited dialogue among moviegoers.

"'The Hunt' is a satirical social thriller intended to entertain and drive conversation, not enrage and divide," the insider explained. "The studio supports storytellers and will continue to distribute films in partnership with bold creators with something to say."

In August, President Trump voiced his displeasure with the idea of the movie to reporters outside the White House and said the film could pose a danger to the nation.

“Hollywood, I don’t call them the elites. I think the elites are the people they go after in many cases. But Hollywood is really terrible,” Trump said. “What they’re doing, with the kind of movie they’re putting out, it’s actually very dangerous for our country. What Hollywood is doing is a tremendous disservice to our country.”

The president's remarks came just one day before Universal made the decision to shelve the movie and cancel its release. It was originally set to be released on Sept. 27.

“The Hunt” is billed as a satirical take on wealthy thrill-seekers taking a private jet to a five-star resort where they embark on a “deeply rewarding” expedition that involves hunting down and killing designated humans.

Ironic that Trump's uninformed and ignorant tweets about this film got its release postponed until now, only to have the movie probably end up bombing because Trump's bungled response to the pandemic is going to keep consumers away from the cinemas. Poor Hollywood can't catch a break!

Looking at the RT reviews, it seems the movie tries to say both sides are bad, or it can also be that the film isn't left enough.
My guess is that the film was cut to be more neutral.

There were interviews with the director during the controversy that heavily suggested it was taking jabs at both sides, I'm guessing the way the trailer was cut was probably 99% of the issue.
