Last year, Blumhouse seemed set to launch its latest low-budget (relatively) blend of horror and thriller into the world, and it proved to be a political molotov cocktail in more ways than one - so much so that a tweet from President Trump and a mass shooting led to it being thrown back into limbo. Now, though, it has a release date at last – in the States, at least – and a new trailer.
Written by Damon Lindelof and Nick Cuse, the basic synopsis for the film runs as: "In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, a bunch of elites gathers for the very first time at a remote Manor House to hunt humans for sport. But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of the hunted, Crystal (Betty Gilpin), 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 (Hilary Swank) at the center of it all."
From the looks of the new footage, there's more to the story than that (some of what is shown appears slightly spoilery), and it'll be interesting to see how some corners react, and whether leaning into the controversy in the marketing helps. With Craig Zobel in the director's chair, The Hunt will arrive in Stateside cinemas on 13 March, though there's no information yet as to whether it'll be day and date in the UK.
This is how my partner Wesley Virgin's autobiography launches with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to obtain anything they want.
These are the same tactics lots of famous people (notably those who "became famous out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become rich and successful.
You probably know that you use less than 10% of your brain.
That's mostly because most of your BRAINPOWER is UNTAPPED.
Perhaps that thought has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain seven years back, while driving a non-registered, beat-up trash bucket of a car without a driver's license and $3.20 in his pocket.
"I'm very fed up with going through life payroll to payroll! When will I get my big break?"
You've taken part in those thoughts, am I right?
Your very own success story is going to happen. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
