I believe you overestimate the respect for Trump and his fans among educated, informed, decent Americans
Soon, it will likely be difficult to find anyone who admits to having voted for Trump.
This will resemble the experience with respect to racists. Try to find someone who will admit to having been a violent racist or strident bigot, even in Alabama or Mississippi, even with respect to the '60s and '70s. Those blacks must have been beating themselves at Selma -- and those Freedom Riders committed suicide and then buried themselves -- if you credit the current alibis.
If anything, I expect Hollywood -- and most of modern, accomplished, educated America -- to direct a substantial backlash at Trump supporters in the next decade or so. Political correctness will be diminished, and people will call a deplorable bigot a deplorable bigot, a superstitious slack-jaw a superstitious slack-jaw, and a can't-keep-up backwater an isolated Republican stronghold. I expect the "elites" to begin a strong offensive against the backward and bigoted soon.
DL: The Hunt Theatrical Release Pulled By Universal Aug 10, 10:17
saving it for Unversal+ {nm} Aug 10, 10:19
I guess Universal will dump the film, like what they did with "Happiness" and "House of 1000 Corpses" {nm} Aug 10, 10:53
Trump successfully diverts attention from guns to films. It will have long-term effect on Hollywood. {nm} Aug 10, 11:02
How or why would it affect Hollywood? Thank you. {nm} Aug 10, 12:15
Not much interest to begin with {nm} Aug 10, 11:03
The event will affect the releases of more violence films (not just "The Hunt") {nm} Aug 10, 11:10
I believe you overestimate the respect for Trump and his fans among educated, informed, decent Americans Aug 10, 12:20
I'm embarrassed for them. And this was a big change from their initial internal stance. {nm} Aug 10, 12:33
There's nothing about that problem that isn't likely to be solved in 18 months {nm} Aug 11, 16:26
+1...Mads makes anything awesome. {nm} Aug 10, 12:43
they've made like four Purges and a TV show {nm} Aug 10, 12:45
Exactly what I was thinking. I don't see much difference between this one and the Purges. {nm} Aug 10, 13:04
The right is using THE HUNT to distract from the extreme gun violence of late. That's the difference. {nm} Aug 10, 13:06
I'm likely as far right as exists in this space. Universal would've had my $20 opening thurs or fri. Aug 10, 13:43
I think this is incorrect. For example, PURG4 (spoils) Aug 10, 16:24
As pointed out on the boards, PURG4 was marketed with a MAGA hat. {nm} Aug 10, 17:11
So I guess that marketing is equivalent to scripting your entire movie entirely around today’s heated political divide. {nm} Aug 10, 17:42
As PURG4 was scripted? {nm} Aug 10, 17:43
No, it had a plot about the killing of poor people organized by politicians who didn’t want to spend money on social programs. Aug 10, 18:52
I wouldn’t greenlight this, not because it’s “pretty offensive” (I love offensive content)... Aug 10, 19:29
Blumhouse has a first look deal with Universal so stating other studios saw this coming and passing on the script is untrue. Aug 10, 19:42
Project didn’t originate at Blum. LOST showrunners wrote it, then Blum acquired it. After others passed on it (per HR) {nm} Aug 10, 19:57
you should watch one. Its entirely obvious as its been in other hunting human narratives. They are all class critiques Aug 10, 19:38
