Universal's "The Hunt," starring Betty Gilpin and Hilary Swank, garnered much controversy, as well as praise for its thrilling final fight sequence. Pulling off this fight scene was no easy feat, as it required the crew to construct a set that was built for stunts and destruction. Director Craig Zobel walked us through how this scene was shot, which was a collaboration between production design, stunts, and special effects. It started with building a cardboard model of the set and ended with a lot of fake broken glass and tables and a stunt double getting kicked through a fireplace.

I enjoyed the movie, especially how you couldn’t stick with any character at the first 10 minutes. Really unpredictable

Betty Gilpin Is awesome.

Wow so crazy to think that Gillpin and Swank did another of the stunts themselves, and used stunt actors for the really dangerous stunts. Their previous experience on Glow and Million dollar baby, and their willingness to give it their all , pays off .
