When asked in an interview with Vulture, if there was a possibility the film could be released in the future, Blum responded that there was “definitely a chance. I hope so.”
“I learned a lot of lessons,” Blum, who produced The Hunt through his Blumhouse Productions, added. “If I was offered the choice to make the movie again, I would say yes. We definitely made marketing mistakes, and we made plenty of mistakes along the way. So I’ve learned a lot. It might change how I would position movies and how I would consult on the marketing of the movies. But actually the making of the movies? No.”
Here is the official synopsis for the film:
In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, a bunch of elites gathers for the very first time at a remote Manor House to hunt humans for sport. But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of the hunted, Crystal (Betty Gilpin, GLOW), knows The Hunters’ game better than they do. She turns the tables on the killers, picking them off, one by one, as she makes her way toward the mysterious woman (two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank) at the center of it all."
“Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don’t know where they are, or how they got there. They don’t know they’ve been chosen… for a very specific purpose … The Hunt.
Though Blum expresses hope for the film’s release, Universal did not indicate when or if they plan to distribute the film in the future.
