‘Hunters’ First Trailer: Jordan Peele Unveils His Fourth Reich Conspiracy Thriller for Amazon

Jordan Peele is bringing Nazi hunting to Amazon Prime Video via “Hunters,” an upcoming conspiracy thriller that will hit the streaming service in 2020.

“Hunters,” executive produced by Jordan Peele and starring Al Pacino, will follow a ragtag group of Nazi hunters in 1977 New York City. The so-called Hunters discover that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials are living in the United States and are conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in America. The Nazi hunters, led by Pacino, will embark on a bloody quest to bring the Nazis to justice and thwart their genocidal plans.

Additional starts include Logan Lerman, Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Tiffany Boone, Greg Austin, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, Dylan Baker and Lena Olin.

The show was created by David Weil (“Moonfall”), who will also serve as executive producer and co-showrunner alongside executive producer Nikki Toscano. The show will be produced by Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions and Sonar Entertainment. Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (“American Horror Story”) directed the show’s pilot and is also one of its executive producers.

Other executive producers include Win Rosenfeld (“The Twilight Zone”) from Monkeypaw Productions, Nelson McCormick (“Prison Break”), and Tom Lesinski (“Mr. Mercedes”) from Sonar Entertainment.

“Hunters” marks the latest socially-relevant project for Peele, who has recently enjoyed breakout success in the film industry due to the critical and commercial success of horror films “Get Out” and “Us.” Peele will also produce HBO horror series “Lovecraft Country” and is also producing next year’s “Candyman” for Universal Pictures.

With its (unfortunately) topical cultural theme and the significant name recognition of Peele and Pacino, “Hunters” could be one of Prime Video’s next breakout hits. “Fleabag” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” were monumental successes for the streaming service, but the former show has ended and Prime Video still doesn’t have the same quantity of originals as some of its competitors, such as Netflix. If successful, “Hunters” could help Amazon’s streaming service maintain the momentum it enjoyed from the aforementioned shows earlier this year.

Though a specific release date has not been announced, the show’s teaser trailer promises plenty of explosive action, intrigue, and of course, a bountiful amount of Nazi hunting.

Hollywood sure hates huwhite surpromacy.

Ww2 movies tend to be good stories but when it comprises 40% of all historical movies I get annoyed and I start to detest them. I tried enjoying historybuffs but because a large portion is nazi shit I can’t. The show itself should be renamed “did you know that hitler was bad? 6” to more accurately represent the current state of history movies.

 

[Bugs_Galore]

Those are the least threatening Nazis I have ever seen.

I guess they are just trying to accurately represent how EVERYONE is a Nazi in the current year + 4.

Since their other Nazi show, Man In The High Castle, ends soon, I wonder if this is to be its replacement?

The show is supposed to take place in NYC, so why does that group and the home behind them look like they're generic deep south stereotypes? Hmm.

 

[Scratch This Nut]

Anyone who is unironically offended by this needs to be bitch slapped. I haven’t seen that here yet, but they’re a’coming!

Elohim they've replaced us with a wop again. Will the shoah never end?

Meanwhile 2019 Europe The Fourth Reich has been established and rules with an Iron fist.

I don't think it's that anyone will be offended as much as this will elicit strenuous eye-rolls. This is coming from the same company that made a whole miniseries sequel to fucking Das Boot. I don't mean to spoil anything but Das Boot doesn't exactly leave much to make a sequel to, much less twelve hours worth of it. This is also from Jordan Peele, a man whos recent work has the subtlety of a dump truck plowing into the Burj Khalifa.

Why insist on continuing to beat the dead horse that is Nazi hunting stories (which peaked years ago with Inglorious Basterds) with creators that have had plenty of shots at this style of content when there's countless people who no doubt have more creative scripts to work with? I know it's because they're lazy and incestuous, but I'd imagine that an increasing amount of the people are as tired as I am of having two slurm-paste options for my entertainment. Sometimes I want something besides capeshit reboots and miniseries about how bad Nazis are, although evidently dear Amazon thinks better for me.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

More like Cuck Pacino, amirite?

 

[millais]

I actually liked the new Das Boot miniseries. I always like those movies that portray the Commie Resistance as unscrupulous asshole ideologues. But I pirated it, so no money for Amazon

It's just cringe.

 

[inexplicable ethos]

Sounds like Peele read William Luther Pierce's Hunter and decided to flip the ideologies of the groups involved. He even stole the name. Very lazy, Jordan.

Peele will also produce HBO horror series “Lovecraft Country”

Oh, great, I can't wait for wokeboi to ruin my favourite author's legacy even more as if the name "Lovecraft"/"Lovecraftian" hasn't been annihilated and misconstrued enough already.

 

[frozenrunner]

At what point will people in Hollywood start holding Peele's work to some sort of standard?

Not today, obviously. This nigga is never told "no."

Oh, great, I can't wait for wokeboi to ruin my favourite author's legacy even more as if the name "Lovecraft"/"Lovecraftian" hasn't been annihilated and misconstrued enough already.

Special sneak peek: "Lovecraft Country" will refer to America because Lovecraft was racist. 100% guaranteed. And all the stories will be Lovecraft stories with race-swapped characters and the overarching theme, "the real horror is white racism."

You want to make a real black horror movie, Peele? How's this for a premise: our melanin-enriched hero wakes up to a world where black slavery never happened and everyone completely ignores his race, treating him like everyone else. Watch as our poor protagonist slowly loses his mind in the absence of white guilt and liberal mollycoddling.

Lol, read more books.

[Travoltron]

If they wanted to tell the story of real life nazis and nazi hunters that would be interesting.
This sounds like typical Hollywood woke wank fantasies.

 

[Y2K Baby]

I’m sure he’ll have fun with the name of Lovecraft’s cat.
