Sony has released a promo video featuring Colorado star Travis Hunter to hype the upcoming release of ‘Kraven the Hunter.’

The video features the Heisman Trophy hopeful in the roll of Travis the Hunter. It mixes his football background with the theme of the movie.

Watch the full video below:

The collaboration aired following the conclusion of Colorado’s regular season. They finished 9-3 after beating Oklahoma State 52-0 in Week 14. During the game, Hunter hauled in 10 receptions for 116 yards and three touchdowns, tying his career best set in the season opener. To boot, he nabbed an early interception, his fourth of the year, to get the Buffaloes going.

The performance added to his already heavily-favored odds to win the Heisman Trophy race. His head coach, Deion Sanders, said after the win that he things that “Travis clinched the Heisman.”

“I think he made a lot of people aware of how ignorant they was with the Thorpe,” Sanders said. “His performance today, what’d he have? Three touchdowns, 100 yards and an interception and two passes broken up. Should’ve had another pick. Hit him right in the darn chest. I’m not happy about that, but I’m happy with him. But it’s phenomenal.”

He finishes the regular season with 92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 15 total touchdowns. The two-way star added 31 total tackles and four interceptions on the defensive end as well.

Performances like that, which Hunter has turned in all season long, is likely a large reason why he’s the player that Hollywood would seek out for a high-production shoot like the one above. It also is the reason why his head coach is so confident that he’s all but locked up the Heisman Trophy.

Kraven the Hunter releases in theaters on Dec. 13. Travis Hunter will be busy that weekend as well, as 24 hours later, the Heisman ceremony will commence in New York City with him as one of the three finalists.
