In response to three mass shootings that left a total of 34 people dead, Universal Pictures and horror giant Blumhouse are reevaluating their game plan for their gory political satire, The Hunt.
Over the weekend, ESPN pulled a previously cleared TV advert for the movie from their network while AMC aired a trailer during the season premiere of their TV drama The Preacher.

When the film was up for sale, several studios declined to buy it because of it's volatile premise.
One executive told The Hollywood Reporter, 'The idea seemed crazy' and didn't even read the script.
A filmmaker involved with Universal said: 'Employees in different departments were questioning the wisdom of making such a movie in these times.'
He continued, 'In light of the horrific [recent shootings], is this not the most craven, irresponsible, dangerous exploitation?'
A Universal executive believes the movie, 'is meant to show what a stupid, crazy world we live in. It might even be more powerful now.'
On August 3, gunman Patrick Crusius entered a Walmart and killed a total of 22 people and left more than two dozen wounded in El Paso, Texas.
A mass shooting happened the next day in Dayton, Ohio when Connor Betts opened fire at a bar and killed 10 people.

In the screenplay for movie, the hunted are described as 'deplorables'.

People in the future will call this era the age of sensitivity.

it seems more like just another adaption of The Most Dangerous Game
what makes the elites in this movie "liberal"? and what makes the poor people "MAGA type"?

And there is a good chance this is something I would like.. Because that's how it works. You have to be able to cross the line or be free in telling a story in order to make it good.. Otherwise it will be the same bullshite over and over.

It looks like Most Dangerous Game meets The Hunger Games

There was certainly nothing in the trailer that had anything to do with politics.

Welp. Guess I don't have to watch the movie now. That was pretty much the whole thing in the trailer.

Cinema and stories about elites hunting humans are hardly new.
And that is hardly what happens with these mass shootings.
Now the movie “Rampage”?
That’s more along these lines
