Julia Roberts stars as a college professor whose past comes back to haunt her in Luca Guadagnino’s new drama. The film, set for release soon, follows a star pupil (Ayo Edebiri) who accuses one of her colleagues (Andrew Garfield) of misconduct, leading to a scandal that tests boundaries and has serious consequences.
The film, from Imagine and Frensey Film Company, is produced by Brian Grazer, Guadagnino, Jeb Brody, Allan Mandelbaum, Karen Lunder, Justin Wilkes, Alice Dawson, and Nora Garrett. Variety reported that the footage showed Roberts in top form as a shock-blonde academic elite, with Edebiri playing a promising protege who turns up at her apartment alleging Garfield’s wrongdoing.
As the story unfolds, Guadagnino teased that this performance is among Roberts’ best yet. The film explores themes of power dynamics and personal relationships, leading Variety to call it a “prestige drama” with “serious consequences.” With awards buzz already building, “After the Hunt” is shaping up to be a major contender for trophy season.
