The new release date is celebrated with a brand new trailer
Following a series of mass shootings in America,The movie was even denounced from President Trump himself, who took to Twitter to fire off a tirade towards the movie:
....to inflame and cause chaos. They create their own violence, and then try to blame others. They are the true Racists, and are very bad for our Country!However, both Universal, the movie's executive producer Jason Blum , and the movie's writer Damon Lindelof announced this week that the movie will be getting a full cinematic release after all.
Lindelof said of Trump's reaction:"My overwhelming feeling then was what it is now, which is that I wish that he had seen it. The movie that he was talking about was not the movie that I feel that we made. It was the movie that it was being reported on. So, if he had said, ‘This is a piece of shit, I’m sorry I wasted my time,’ that would have felt better because at least he was talking about the movie.
The movie - which feels like it falls somewhere in between The Purge and The Hunger Games - deals with 12 strangers who wake up in a clearing, with no idea how they got there. It seems peaceful enough, until they spot some well-to-do folk heading there way, all armed with guns. The Hunt has begun, and they are the prey.Blum added that he always knew the movie would be released eventually:"I think we needed time.
The Hunt is set to arrive in American cinemas on Friday 13 March, with no set release date for Irish cinemas just yet.
