the release of its satirical thriller “The Hunt” immediately drew comparisons to another film: Sony Pictures’ “The Interview.”
Universal, in its statement, said it stood by the filmmakers associated with the project. Those included “The Hunt” producer Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions, whose films such as “Get Out,” “Happy Death Day” and “The Purge” have been highly successful for Universal. “Universal dressed up an old story to fit the political angst of today,” said Gene Del Vecchio, a marketing expert who teaches at USC’s Marshall School of Business.The question remains whether the film will ever see the light of day. It’s unlikely the studio will shelve the project altogether, given what the company has already spent on the production, Del Vecchio said.
