President Donald Trump and right-wing media outlets for its perceived bias. The studio announced the delay in the days after the film received criticism from U.S.
However, as a result of the Dayton and El Paso mass shootings in early August 2019, Universal Pictures decided to delay it. The film was originally scheduled for release on September 27, 2019. The film was first announced in March 2018, and the cast signed on a year later. Zobel and Lindelof have said that the film is intended as a satire on the profound political divide between the American left and right. Jason Blum was a producer under his Blumhouse Productions banner, along with Lindelof. The film stars Ike Barinholtz, Betty Gilpin, Emma Roberts, and Hilary Swank.
The Hunt is a 2020 American horror thriller film directed by Craig Zobel and written by Nick Cuse and Damon Lindelof.
