How The Hunt Became the Year's Most Controversial Movie Before Anyone Ever Saw It

"The first thing that went through my mind when I heard the film was pulled was shock at the irony," Zobel toldrecently."I felt like if I could talk to someone and remind them that the film was primarily concerned with internet trolls—that the things happening to the film were also happening in the film—that someone would laugh and go, 'Okay, yeah, we shouldn't pull it.' Then I realized that we'd crossed a threshold where that wasn't gonna help.
So, with enough time between the original uproar to have dulled much of the memory of it, the film landed a new release date and a new marketing campaign that played up the controversial nature of the film, daring audiences to judge it for themselves. What didn't change, though, was the movie itself. And everyone involved is just happy that people will finally be able to see it.
