Universal Pictures has pre-emptively acquired Lucas Sussman's pitch The Hunt, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The studio paid mid- against high-six figures for the horror thriller for Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain) and Eric Watson to produce through their Universal-based Protozoa Pictures shingle. SekretAgent Prods.' Dooma Wendschuh and Corey May also are set to produce. The supernatural adventure centers on the world's greatest hunter, who sets out to capture the ultimate beast: the devil himself. *A little side thought... 'SLiTHER' director James Gunn told B-D exclusively that he was working on a film about the Devil and this is a Universal pic, so who knows, maybe this is it? Fingers crossed!
