(Patti Perret/Universal Pictures via AP)NEW YORK, N.Y. โ Last fall, the violent satire โThe Huntโ became ensnarled by some of the very politics it so playfully parodies. Universal Pictures pulled โThe Huntโ from release after a series of deadly shootings and wave of right-wing criticism, including from President Trump. Itโs a heightened, bipartisan farce that puts the red-vs-blue vitriol of social media into a bloody action-movie blender. โWe were living through a version of what happens in โThe Hunt,โ in a way,โ says Zobel.
