The Hunt trailer: Betty Gilpin, Emma Roberts are prey for Hilary Swank and the one-percenters

The trailer of The Hunt was released by Blumhouse Productions recently. The banner has been behind many successful films like Get Out, The Purge, Whiplash and _BlacKkKlansman_.

She kills them after they tell her she’s in Arkansas, only to learn that she and 11 more people like her are now part of a human trophy hunting event. They are the targets of a mysterious group of “elites.” As the clip progresses, Oscar winning actress Hilary Swank is revealed to be the mastermind behind this twisted game. “We pay for everything, so this country belongs to us. They’re not human beings,” she says. The film is packed with blood, violence and a decent amount of gore. “Of all the people you kidnapped, of all the people you killed, you picked the wrong gang,” Gilpin can be heard saying before a face off between her and Swank ends the trailer. The official synopsis of the film reads: 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.  Here’s the trailer for The Hunt.

They've been chosen... for a very specific purpose ... The Hunt.
