Variety is reporting that Universal Pictures has picked up the rights to the action-thriller spec script The Hunt from Damon Lindelof and Nick Cuse (The Leftovers), with Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions set to produce the film.
Plot details for The Hunt are being kept under wraps, but we do know that Craig Zobel (Z for Zachariah) is set to direct the project, having previously collaborated with Lindelof and Cuse on The Leftovers, helming several episodes.
