There’s been a lot of heat of late over the release of The Hunt, a movie written by Nick Cuse and Damon Lindel in which twelve Republican-supporting strangers wake up in a clearing and realize that they’re being hunted by liberal elites, calling them ‘deplorables’.
Universal will no longer be releasing the BlumHouse film on September 27th as planned. They initially paused marketing campaign for the film, then stated that “While Universal Pictures had already paused the marketing campaign for ‘The Hunt,’ after thoughtful consideration, the studio has decided to cancel our plans to release the film. We stand by our filmmakers and will continue to distribute films in partnership with bold and visionary creators, like those associated with this satirical social thriller, but we understand that now is not the right time to release this film.”

Nevertheless, producer of the movie and founder of BlumHouse Productions, Jason Blum had already made his opinions about Trump and the current administration rather clear.
When he was doing press for Happy Death Day, the movie he produced a couple of years ago, they asked him what he would do if he could keep reliving the same day, and would be able to act without any consequences. While director Chris Landon said he would eat and eat and eat, Jason Blum said “I would take out the current administration” followed by laughter by Landon. Blum, however, looked rather serious…

Isn’t that cute? It’s analogous to the Holiday Inn Express commercial; “Oh, I’m not an operator, but I played one in the movies.”
Well he self identifies as a Traitor, how precious.
Wow. So edgy. And who the F is Jason Blum?
They’ll release this elsewhere, a streaming service or something. Might wait a few months, but it will be out.
It amazes me what passes as talent these days. How much lower can it possibly go?
He is not the Lone Ranger. There is a bunch more thinking the same thing and waiting. The way things are going, it looks as they will get their chance.
Awesome! So now somebody make a social thriller about hunting bat-shit crazy liberals !
Or would that never happen????
Back in 2017 Kathy Griffin posted a video of herself holding a mask that looked like the severed head of Donald Trump. At a minimum, she should have been arrested.
But she wasn’t. And now the floodgates are opened. And I fear that eventually some nut will be motivated to do something terrible.
Expert: Movies like "The Hunt" make political violence permissible
Jason Blum looks like he’d run and hide from any real American who faced off with him....
I have a feeling the “Deplorables” win at the end of the film, even lefties make progressives the villan on occasion just to make a plot less formulaic (for Hollywood).
some nut WILL be motivated to do something terrible.
That is their intention. They accuse Trump’s speech of triggering the mass shooters, but in actuality, their speech is designed to set off some kook. The Dim party, their media and Hollywood are all on board. Then the kook is blamed, not the actual agitators.
I believe a visit from the Secret Service is in order.
I doubt he takes his own garbage out... useless liberal scum is everywhere.
Give it some more time and perhaps it can be an historical documentary instead.
I think he needs to be the first person on the “red flag” list.
Therein lies the danger, that this film will give some who are circling the drain on sanity and will take it as a legitimate reason to act out their fanatical delusions and go on a killing spree. This is part and parcel of why the film was made in the first place and is being pushed so hard for public release. Society is chocked full of these mentally ill unstable folks already as it is. Just stoking the fires.
Another child liberal who won’t allow anyone he didn’t vote for win.
