SYNOPSIS: "Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don’t know where they are, or how they got there. They don't know they’ve been chosen… for a very specific purpose … The Hunt.
In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, a group of elites gathers for the very first time at a remote Manor House to hunt ordinary Americans for sport. But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of The Hunted, Crystal (Betty Gilpin, GLOW), knows The Hunters’ game better than they do. She turns the tables on the killers, picking them off, one by one, as she makes her way toward the mysterious woman (two-time Oscar® winner Hilary Swank) at the center of it all."
The Hunt is written by Lindelof and his fellow Watchmen collaborator Nick Cuse and is directed by Craig Zobel (Z for Zachariah, The Leftovers). Blum produces for his Blumhouse Productions alongside Lindelof.

The Hunt, the satirical thriller that depicts “elites” kidnapping and then hunting “deplorables,” is now set for release on March 13, six months after Universal pulled the film from its September 2019 opening in the wake of a spate of mass shootings that shook the nation.
Following those attacks, Universal and producer Jason Blum decided to pause the ad campaign for the film. But after The Hollywood Reporter and other outlets reported on the film’s premise, it generated instant controversy. Fox News pilloried the concept and the movie was attacked (though not by name) in a President Trump tweet.
still don't get how the fox news crowd was angry about a movie where the liberal elite are the villains

Is it pulled or not I’m confused
it was pulled last year after negative coverage from trump/fox news/media outlets like that bc the trailer came out during a week with multiple mass shootings and the studio shelved the movie. It's finally getting released now
