Universal Pictures has canceled the release of an upcoming film that shows “liberal elites” hunting “deplorables,” following widespread criticism regarding the film’s premise.
In a statement on its website, the film company wrote, “While Universal Pictures had already paused the marketing campaign for The Hunt, after thoughtful consideration, the studio has decided to cancel our plans to release the film. We stand by our filmmakers and will continue to distribute films in partnership with bold and visionary creators, like those associated with this satirical social thriller, but we understand that now is not the right time to release this film.”
