No idea what's really going on with the story and all that. But by the sounds of it, I could definitely sink my teeth into something like this. And I love Emma Roberts, so there's that too.

Trailer drop incoming...

[MazeRunner]

Writer Damon Lindelof (Lost, World War Z, Prometheus) and his fellow The Leftovers collaborator Nick Cuse are set to bring audiences on The Hunt, a new politically charged action-thriller from director Craig Zobel (Z for Zachariah, The Leftovers).

The cast includes Emma Roberts, Justin Hartley, Betty Gilpin, Glenn Howerton, Jim Klock, Charli Slaughter and Dean West (The Highwaymen).

Deadline reports today that the film will also star two-time Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank, who also appeared in Dark Castle’s The Reaping and this year’s Netflix sci-fi thriller I Am Mother.

While details continue to be kept under wraps, Bloody Disgusting exclusively revealed that the film is about a bunch of working-class individuals being hunted down Battle Royale style. It was described to us as 1953’s The Most Dangerous Game meets Battle Royale with shades of Belko Experiment. Collider recently confirmed this by adding:

“The film follows a group of ‘rednecks’ who are captured and hunted for sport by rich, liberal elites.”

The film was scheduled to release on October 18, but Universal has bumped it up to September 27.

Just saw the trailer with Crawl. Actually looks pretty good. Looks to be a modern day remake of Turkey Shoot and Hard Target.

Is this the same trailer that played before Crawl?

I saw Crawl today, but only showed up in time to catch trailers for Ready Or Not and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood for the 100th time.

Hilary Swank’s face could make a train take a dirt road.

I see they're following Sony's marketing policy of showing the whole movie in the trailer. Looks entertaining though.
