Hunters teaser trailer - 1970s Nazi-hunter series, Pacino starring, Peele producing, Prime 2020
- Thread starter More_Badass
- Start date
I'm in for it. Didn't Peele say he wasn't going to cast a white dude as the lead in any projects? I guess Pacino don't count haha
Didn't even recognize that was Pacino.
I assume he was talking about projects he was writing/directing.
I think he said "I can't see myself casting white leads". I don't think he ruled anything out, just shared his current thinking at the time.
Could just be that at the time he didn't have any plans for working on something that draws on historical contexts that would naturally have a white lead. If (for example) the lead here is infiltrating Nazi organisations, depending on the approach it would perhaps not really fit to have anything but a white lead.
It says diverse cast though. I'm sure there will be black actors here.
For all the racist tantrums people had about his prior statements, both Get Out and Us had lots of white actors too.
Edit: oh yeah if he's only producer on this, that would make sense too.
I mean I kinda figured this was the case but had to get a teasing in, just thought it was funny since Pacino crosses all racial lines. The dude played a cuban drug lord lmao
Bumping this because I just saw a commercial for it and was gonna make a thread for it.
Wtf?!?
This sounds great!!!!!

Two episodes in and I find the show pretty distasteful with how it handles the subject matter. I don't think turning Nazi hunting into a pulpy comic book show works but maybe it wouldn't feel so gross if the show was tonally consistent instead of being all over the place. It can't seem to figure out what it wants to be and nothing works together. Very disappointing.
Showed up as 4k UHD on my 720p TV if that helps. There doesn't seem to be another version via Fire TV.
Two episodes in, I really like it so far.
That's exactly how I felt when I watched the first episode. I didn't end up hating the show but it just felt disjointed.
Yeah I like the premise and the cast, but two eps in and the cracks are already starting to show, its too pulpy and the most creative bits seem to tragically be about how nazis killed people in the holocaust. The antagonist is obvious trying to channel Anton Chigurh, but the guy sucks so it just looks like a Dane Dehaan cosplay.
Yeah, that chess game left such a foul taste in my mouth. There might be a way to do this show and stay kind of pulpy but it's definitely not the way they did it.
Im glad its not just me, I even stopped watching Handmaid because I felt the production has having a bit too much fun with the gendered torture, I hope it finds its footing because it wants to be Munich and Inglorious Bastards at the same time, and I love both of those movies but its not still working for me.
But I like nazis getting killed, Pacino is great on this and my prime expires tomorrow, so ill continue.
This show has the Marvel Netflix problem where the episode's feel too long and padded with unnecessary filler conversations that just repeat.
Just finished it. I loved every second of it. Only wish there was more Nazi killing, but still felt good. The twist was good, but you could see it coming if you pay close attention.
I did some research, and yeah, the U.S. government really sucked. Google Huntsville, Alabama Nazis
God this country sucks.

My favorite part of the show was when
I encourage everyone to spoil the show for themselves because it's kind of flabberghasting. I feel like if you asked a 13 year old boy to write a show about Nazis you'd end up with this word for word.
Werner Von Braun got electrocuted in the balls until he said what he knew about the Fourth Reich, admitted to putting a biochemical agent in corn syrup before laughing maniacally, and then a few minutes later gets shot in the head.
