Ads pulled for gun-heavy film 'The Hunt' following mass shootings

Universal Pictures is reportedly reevaluating its PR strategy for the upcoming film The Hunt in the wake of recent mass shootings.
The violent satire starring Hilary Swank and GLOW’s Betty Gilpin centers on liberal elites stalking and hunting MAGA-type “deplorables” for sport. The trailer for the R-rated flick has already dropped online and is gun-heavy, causing some networks to shy away from airing any advertisements.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, ESPN pulled an ad over the weekend for the film that had previously been cleared with a source saying no spots for The Hunt will
appear on the network in the coming weeks. A major marketing blitz on
television and online had been planned for the beginning of September,
one insider tells THR, ahead of the Sept. 27 release.
Yahoo Entertainment reached out to Universal and ESPN’s parent
company Disney for comment, but did not immediately receive responses.
There is an internal divide at Universal over what to do, according to THR. The studio values its relationship with producer Jason Blum (who is behind successful franchises like Paranormal Activity, The Purge and Insidious)
and some see the film as a satire commentating on a pertinent issue
given the current political climate. However, plans could change "if
people think we're being exploitative rather than opinionated,”
according to a source.
"Employees in different departments were questioning the wisdom of
making such a movie in these times," says one filmmaker with ties to
Universal. "In light of the horrific [recent shootings], is this not the
most craven, irresponsible, dangerous exploitation?"
A Universal executive countered, explaining the movie "is meant to
show what a stupid, crazy world we live in," adding, "It might even be
more powerful now."
THR reviewed the screenplay with red-state characters
wearing trucker hats and cowboy shirts. One even brags about owning
seven guns because it's his constitutional right. The blue-state
characters purportedly explain that they picked their human targets
because the deplorables expressed anti-choice positions or used the
N-word on Twitter.
"Did anyone see what our ratf***er-in-chief just did?" one character
apparently asks early in the screenplay. Another responds: "At least the
Hunt's coming up. Nothing better than going out to the Manor and
slaughtering a dozen deplorables."
Emma Roberts, The Mindy Project’s Ike Barinholtz and This Is Us star Justin Hartley also appear in the upcoming film.
Tommy Lee riles up 'Trumpsters' with political message about what will happen when liberals regain the White House

Tommy Lee has rankled conservatives by sharing a strong, anti-Trump political message on social media.
The Mötley Crüe drummer posted a long quote — traced back at least a year back and
written by an unknown author — to his social media platforms on
Wednesday. It started with, “You Trumpsters better pray that liberals
never gain control of the [White House] again because we are going to
pay you back so f***king hard for all this sh**.”
It went on to list all the changes liberals would potentially make:
“Planned Parenthoods on every damn corner,” repaint Air Force One “p***y
hat pink and fly it over your beloved Bible Belt 6 days a week, tossing
birth control pills, condoms & atheist literature from the
cockpit.”
The post went on to promise to “take your mega churches so bad” that
Joel Osteen will “need to get a job at Chick-fil-A to pay his light
bill.”
As for Chick-fil-A, those will all be given to “any LGBTQ person your
sick cult leaders tortured with conversion therapy. Have fun with the
new menu you bigoted f**ks,” listing one item as the “McPence,” with a
remark about being “in the closet.”

For guns, well, they’ll be gathered up, melted down and turned into
“a gargantuan metal mountain emblazoned with the face of Hillary
Clinton.”
All parks will be renamed after Rosa Parks and confederate statues
will be Black Lives Matter leaders and Mexican immigrants. Every school
will be renamed for a child “kidnapped by this regime.” And after “we
fumigate the White House,” it will be repainted “rainbow.”
Oh, and Fox News? Gone. Turned into a “family refugee shelter.” Sean
Hannity’s office will be “a giant unisex bathroom with changing tables
& free tampons.”
And “Trumpsters” had best not complain about it. Every time they do, “we’re adding an openly gay character to a Disney movie.”
The post has been around for more than a year and was shared on Reddit and the Democratic Underground in
July 2018. It could be older and it’s unclear who wrote it. But Lee had
no problem sharing it, it was followed, on his Instagram Stories, by
two videos in which he talks to his dog about the president. He asked,
“Do you like Donald Trump? I don’t either. He’s a f**ing idiot. He also
called him a “f**king moron.”
Needless to say, Trump supporters weren’t big fans and Lee was told
to “stick to banging the drums” and to “leave” the U.S. if it isn’t to
his liking, among other reactions:
Though the post had many fans who thought it was HILARIOUS. Oh, and as for any “stick to drumming” comments, he had a response to that days ago.
A decade ago — ahead of the 2008 presidential election that put Barack Obama in the Oval Office — Lee told CNN he
wasn’t a political junkie and rarely watched TV or listened to news
reports. He said he had no opinion on Obama or John McCain’s policies,
saying, “To tell you the truth, I only listen to music.”
But Trump — whom he called “scary delusional” on
Twitter in July — brings out a different side of Lee. And after Trump
recently cited video games as a reason for all the mass shootings in the
U.S., Lee slammed him
in another post, writing, “One minute you blame mental illness for the
mass shootings then the next it's video games?! WTF is wrong with you!?!
WAKE THE F**K UP!!!"

He has a right to his opinion but he could have chosen his words better.
A man has been convicted of murdering eight people in a house fire which followed a long-running and bitter dispute.
Shahid Mohammed, 37, was found guilty of killing five children and
three adults in the blaze at the property in Birkby, Huddersfield, in
2002.
Mohammed had been investigated by police at the time but skipped bail
and fled to Pakistan prior to a 2003 trial in which several other
people were convicted for their involvement in the incident.

Nawaz, five, Rabina Batool, 10, and Zaib-un-Nisa, 54, who all died in a
fire (West Yorkshire Police/PA)
During a four-week trial at Leeds Crown Court, jurors heard that the
blaze which caused the deaths of eight members of the Chishti family had
followed a grudge that the defendant had been “pursuing vigorously”.
Prosecutors said Mohammed, of no fixed address, reacted angrily when
his sister, Shahida, became involved in a relationship with a man named
Saud Pervez, of whom he did not approve.
One member of the Chishti family, Mohammed Ateeq-ur-Rehman, known as
Ateeq, had played an “active part” in the maintaining of their
relationship, and was probably the target of the attack on May 12 2002,
the court heard.
Jurors were told that petrol bombs were thrown into the property, in
Osborne Road, while petrol, believed to have been poured into the home
through a nozzle, was ignited.
Mohammed will be sentenced on Wednesday.
Bearded Mohammed, who stood in the dock wearing glasses, a striped
shirt and a dark tie, showed no emotion as he was found guilty of eight
counts of murder and one of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to
endanger life.
Judge Robin Spencer told him: “I know that you want to know what your
sentence is going to be as soon as possible. That will happen tomorrow.
I will deal with you tomorrow and pass sentence tomorrow afternoon.”
The victims of the fire were Zaib-Un-Nisa, 54, Nafeesa Aziz, 35,
Mohammed Ateeq-ur-Rehman, 18, Tayyaba Batool, 13, Rabina Batool, 10,
Ateeqa Nawaz, five, Aneesa Zawaz, two, and Najeebah Nawaz, who was six
months old.

The jury was told that a trial in 2003 led to the convictions of
three men – Shaied Iqbal, Shakiel Shazad and Nazar Hussain – for their
roles in the fire, with Iqbal being convicted of murder and the other
two of manslaughter.
Discussing the impact of the flames, Alistair MacDonald QC,
prosecuting, said: “All those who were upstairs were overwhelmingly
likely to be trapped on the upper floors by the fire that rapidly
developed once the petrol had been ignited.”
Mr MacDonald said that the attack had been “carefully planned” and
that as the men drove away from the scene, Mohammed said to Iqbal: “Did
you see the way it went up?”
During the trial, one surviving member of the Chishti family,
Siddiqah Aziz, told how she managed to save her father, Abdul Chishti,
from the inferno but was prevented from coming to the aid of other
family members when she was met by a wall of flames.
She said: “When I went downstairs, the smoke was coming through the
front room. I got my dad through to the cellar, because he was really
weak, and I came back for the others.
“But when I came back the fire was too strong, it was too much.”
Abbas Lakha QC, defending, argued during the trial that Iqbal had
planned the arson attack to teach teenage victim Ateeq a lesson for
interfering in his love life.
Mr Lakha said that Mohammed had only acted as a look-out, that he had
been under the impression that the plan was to petrol bomb a car and
that he did not intend to throw anything.
Mohammed was extradited back to the UK in October last year by
officers from West Yorkshire Police’s Homicide and Major Enquiry Team,
with the support of the National Crime Agency, the British High
Commission in Islamabad, the Crown Prosecution Service and local
authorities in Pakistan.
He had been held in prison in Pakistan since he was located and arrested in Rawalpindi on January 22 2015.
West Yorkshire Police said this was just the second extradition from
Pakistan in more than 10 years, after Mohammed Zubair in May 2016, who
was subsequently found guilty of murder at Bradford Crown Court.
Detective Chief Superintendent Nick Wallen said Tuesday’s verdicts marked “a milestone” in the case.
He said: “This incident remains the biggest single event of multiple murders that West Yorkshire Police has investigated.
“It has been an extensive and protracted inquiry with a large team of
detectives tirelessly working to secure justice for the family.
“At the end of last year, we were successfully able to extradite
Mohammed from Pakistan with the assistance and support of several
agencies, both here in the UK and abroad.
“Since 2002, the Chishti family has shown nothing but dignity throughout this unimaginable tragedy for their family.
“I would like to express my greatest condolences and gratitude to
them for all these years and I wholeheartedly welcome the verdict handed
to Mohammed after he attempted to evade justice for so many years.”
Speaking outside Leeds Crown Court after the verdicts, Mr Wallen
added: “This afternoon we have had unanimous guilty verdicts in relation
to the horrific murders of the Chishti family back in 2002.
“On behalf of West Yorkshire Police, we are absolutely overjoyed,
over the moon, this is 17 years of a police investigation that has been a
relentless one and getting Shahid Mohammed back from Pakistan back in
2018 was a real landmark in this case.”
Mohammed Shafique, who survived the fire, along with his father Abdul
Aziz Chishti and sister Siddiqa Aziz, said: “We are naturally pleased
that this man Shahid Mohammed, who ignored police and court bails, has
been brought to justice.
“He has been convicted of the murder of eight people in our family.
This is not going to bring back our loved ones and I hope he gets a long
prison sentence and I hope he doesn’t see the light of day.”
Mr Shafique added: “Coming to the court and listening to the
witnesses and the evidence that has been presented, it has been quite
emotional at times. And the fine details of the victims inside the
house, it was very difficult, very emotional for us to be there and
listening to all that.
“Also, it would have been nice for my father to be here, he passed
away two years ago, and we missed him in this trial. He was with us in
the original trial in 2003 but he passed away two years ago and we
missed him very much. It would have been nice for our father to be here
with us today.”
Abdul Hameed, Mr Shafique’s older brother, added: “We are naturally
pleased he has been convicted of eight murders and we had to wait for
such a long time – 17 years.
“It’s been hard. Going through the trial and listening to all the
evidence reproduced 2003, it’s been very hard for us. For me, for my
brother, for my brother-in-law, who lost his wife and five daughters, it
was hard for everyone.”
