Violent Political Satire The Hunt Has Been Uncanceled, Just in Time for the Primaries

Perhaps in an effort to dampen any potential outrage, the trailer for the movie has been recut to make it painfully obvious that the liberal urban lefties are the bad guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sowGYbxTPgU

According to The New York Times, the movie itself has not been recut at all. It's exactly the same as it was before. They're just now making it clear in its ad campaign that this is an over-the-top satire of political and regional ideologies and clashes. Like South Park with real people. Or Get Out with less subtlety.

It was abundantly clear before, but now the trailer practically assaults the viewer with its themes. The new marketing campaign uses last year's controversy as a source of publicity, with movie posters quoting some of the juiciest outrage coupled with the tagline "The most talked about movie of the year is one that nobody's actually seen."
