A Cornered Julia Roberts Confronts Dark Past in ‘After The Hunt’ Trailer
Julia Roberts‘ college professor Alma Olsson is forced to face secrets from her own dark past, and possibly see them come to light, in the official trailer for Luca Guadagnino’s After The Hunt psychological thriller for Amazon MGM Studios.
In the preview, Roberts’ professor’s star student Maggie Price, played by Ayo Edebiri, confides in her that a colleague, Henrik Gibson (Andrew Garfield), had crossed the line.
“It’s the right thing to do, isn’t it? To tell someone and, you know, given your history,” Edebiri asks Roberts at one point in the trailer. “What does that mean, my history?” Roberts responds with what becomes a key point in the feature from Imagine Entertainment as her own past threatens to be revealed.
At first Gibson accuses Price of plagiarism. But at another point in the teaser, an increasingly desperate Gibson tells Olsson “you know the truth, and you won’t say it, because it’ll make you look bad.” The trailer ends with Edebiri telling Roberts, “I don’t feel comfortable having this conversation with you anymore.”
And Roberts responds with a tagline for the movie: “Not everything is supposed to make you feel comfortable.” Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny round out the cast for After The Hunt, which Guadagnino directed from a script by Nora Garrett.
The producer credits are shared by Guadagnino, Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody and Allan Mandelbaum, with Karen Lunder, Justin Wilkes, Alice Dawson and Garrett executive producing.
After the Hunt reunites Guadagnino with Amazon MGM Studios, which released his Zendaya-led film Challengers last year. His other features as director include Call Me by Your Name (2017), Suspiria (2018), Bones and All (2022) and Queer (2024).
