This is a lame attempt to continue fanning the flames of an already sadly divided nation."
In response to a tweet by evangelist Franklin Graham denouncing "The Hunt," film critic Mike McGranaghan observed that it's "probably a good time to point out that no one (including critics) has actually seen THE HUNT yet, so we have no idea whether it's politically charged or, if it is, what the politics are. Rachel Leishman, an associate editor at The Mary Sue, tweeted that "While the Hunt got canceled, it’s very clear that Trump has never read The Most Dangerous Game." This is not the solution." Academy Award winning actor Russell Crowe tweeted.Īctor and musician Ish Morris expressed a similar thought, tweeting that "so they cancel the The Hunt film release cuz of gun violence in the US, but don't cancel the actual guns? Kk cool. While I commend Universal and Blumhouse for their humanity. yet any adult can still buy a military grade semi-automatic rifle. "So The Hunt is pulled from its US cinema release because people are sensitive to gun violence. There was considerable backlash on Twitter against Universal's decision. 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," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In a statement on Saturday, the studio explained 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. "How did a film like this even get made?" asked host Dean Cain. On Saturday morning, prior to the movie's release being scrapped, the weekend hosts of Fox & Friends again discussed the film.

On Fox & Friends on Thursday, the movie was introduced as "a new movie about killing 'deplorables' - some calling it 'evil' and 'demented.'" As Buzzfeed News reported, the network mounted a concerted campaign against the film: "Cancelation of ‘The Hunt’ is a victory for gun-toting, Bible-clinging patriots," wrote Fox News' Todd Starnes. They are the true Racists, and are very bad for our Country!"įox News both complained about the release of the movie and celebrated its failure to launch. They create their own violence, and then try to blame others. The movie coming out is made in order to inflame and cause chaos. In fact, it is often the people that they so strongly oppose that are actually the Elite. Universal's decision was made after Trump tweeted on Friday that "Liberal Hollywood is Racist at the highest level, and with great Anger and Hate! They like to call themselves 'Elite,' but they are not Elite. A controversy has erupted over Universal's decision to pull "The Hunt" - a horror satire in which wealthy elitists hunt so-called "deplorables" for sport - after the film was attacked by conservatives including President Donald Trump.
