"The Hunt" will be released on March 13, months after President Trump condemned the satiric political thriller featuring elites hunting "deplorables."
Six months after canceling its release, Universal and Blumhouse are reintroducing The Hunt. The satiric political thriller, which depicts rich, liberal"elites" kidnapping and hunting conservatives, will now hit theaters on March 13.
Producer Jason Blum said the media’s coverage at the time was inaccurate, as no one had seen the film. The movie was recently screened for a few journalists. In one scene, per Variety, a liberal hunter shoots a man who says,"Climate change is real." One conservative victim is depicted as"anti-gay,” and another rails about illegal immigrants, talks about the “Deep State,” and fantasizes about going on Hannity to expose a liberal conspiracy. Hilary Swank plays the ringleader of the liberal elites, while GLOW's Betty Gilpin turns the tables on the killers.
