No Man's Land Hunt

The Hunt is a 2020 American film written by Nick Cuse and Damon Lindelof, and directed by Craig Zobel. The film stars Betty Gilpin and Hilary Swank alongside an ensemble cast that includes Ike Barinholtz, Ethan Suplee, Glenn Howerton, Amy Madigan, Wayne Duvall, Sturgill Simpson, and Emma Roberts. Jason Blum was a producer under his Blumhouse Productions banner, along with Lindelof. Zobel and Lindelof have said that the film is intended as a satire on the profound political divide between the American left and right. In the film, a group of elites abduct working-class people to hunt them. The film was first announced in March 2018, and the cast signed on a year later. Filming took place in New Orleans. The film was originally scheduled for release on September 27, 2019. The Hunt was released in theaters in the United States on March 13, 2020, by Universal Pictures and received mixed reviews from critics. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the closure of most theaters within a week of the film's release, which resulted in the film underperforming at the box office, grossing only $12.4 million. Universal made The Hunt available digitally on March 20.
