Universal Pictures has cancelled the planned September release of its controversial social satire 'The Hunt,' in the wake of recent mass shootings and amid criticism from President Donald Trump
The movie"The Hunt" has been billed as an ultraviolent satire about America's deep political divide.
The release of a film criticised by conservatives as portraying a group of liberals hunting supporters of Donald Trump has been indefinitely postponed, Universal Pictures said Saturday.But in a tweet Friday that appeared to refer to the film, Trump slammed it as "racist," fanning criticism from the right that its timing was particularly poor after recent mass shootings in the US.
It said that while it supported "bold and visionary creators, like those associated with this satirical social thriller... we understand that now is not the right time to release this film." A promotional poster for the film warns: "Hunting Season Open: Only designated people may be hunted at the manor."
