Oscar winner Hilary Swank also stars. Directed by Craig Zobel from a script by Nick Cuse and “Lost” co-creator Damon Lindelof and produced by Lindelof and Blumhouse’s Jason Blum, it was scheduled to be released Sept. 27.
A source close to the project confirmed that any decision about when — or on what platform — “The Hunt” may be released in the future remains up to Universal.
