“The Hunt” will be released in roughly a month.
The movie was pulled indefinitely by Universal back in August after a mass shooting in Texas and Ohio. The plot of the film revolves around “deplorables,” who appear to be from middle America, being hunted by elites. Now, the public will finally get a chance to see it.
Producer Jason Blum told the Hollywood Reporter in a piece published Tuesday that the movie with Emma Roberts will finally be released March 13.
I never understood the outrage about this movie when it was first being marketed. The rural Americans are clearly the good guys in the film.
It’s not even close. Anybody, and I mean anybody, who watched the trailer could see the deplorables were going to be the heroes and the rich elitists would be the bad guys.

Prolly give Bernie bros some ideas.
“I never understood the outrage about this movie when it was first being marketed. The rural Americans are clearly the good guys in the film. “
The rural Americans being the heroes might cause outrage among some elitists.
Yes, let’s get the scare tactics a little closer to Election Day, even if the “deplorables” end up winning in the movie.

There’s certainly some precedents for this theme.
I think the first version of “The Most Dangerous Game” was made in 1932 with Joel McCrea starring. I’ve always thought McCrea was classic Hollywood’s most underrated leading man on the strength of movies like “Sullivan’s Travels” and “Foreign Correspondent.”
Cornel Wilde’s well-regarded “The Naked Prey” was made in 1965. Very intense film, not really for the squeamish. But I have to admit that Wilde was a seriously underrated talent in his own right.
I’m sorry I don’t understand your logic. And I usually do :-) your posts are great. Perhaps this will strike fear in deplorables who will turn out in greater numbers
I think the problem was that liberals trying to hunt down and murder “deplorables” is too close to real life to be called a satire.
It was based on the Hugh Glass incident. Wilde moved the story to Africa.
It was seen by some (me) as a metaphor for the 2016 election, with the self-styled elites* getting their comeuppance and good.
This movie can only help Trump.
*elites: an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals
Exactly right. You know your film history, FRiend.
For an extra spooky treat - The film will be released on Friday the 13th.
In today's political climate, this won't be anything less than a primer
on how to. (ANTIFA: What a great idea. Why didn't we think of this?)
Some folks will laugh it off, as the good guys win in the end. Folks,
there's dying before the end.
They say that movies imitate life.
Nope, and that's the whole idea behind this.
The movie will be out front on this one.
People will die. The producers of this tripe will blame it on
anyone else the press can pick up on and run with.
This is not something I need to see. And if people die as I suspect,
I'd feel unclean having put a penny toward supporting someone
who would produce and participate in this.
Look for the mayhem, chaos and shootings to begin in earnest, after Nov 5th.
The Most Dangerous Game is available online for free.

The left has more to complain about with this movie. The liberals look like murderous psychopaths.
Yeah that seems very likely to happen.
Thanks for those links, FRiends.
