Nearly three years have passed since David Weil’s bombastic Holocaust revenge series, “Hunters,” debuted on Prime Video to decidedly mixed reviews. The Auschwitz Memorial didn’t hold back when they leveled criticism at the project, calling its depiction of a game of human chess “dangerous foolishness & caricature.” Primarily set in the 1970s, Weil’s story showcases a group of vigilantes on the hunt for Nazis who escaped justice at the end of WWII.

When Prime Video was promoting the first season of “Hunters,” the big selling point was Al Pacino.

Undoubtedly one of the most anticipated titles of the coming fall movie season is Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci.” The film, based on Sara Gay Forden’s 2001 book “The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed,” is a spicy slice of true-crime drama concerning the intersection of murder and high fashion, one that will almost assuredly kick up some controversy in time for the Oscars.
