Watch: Julia Roberts stars in #MeToo thriller 'After the Hunt'
July 16 (UPI) -- Amazon MGM Studios is teasing its upcoming #MeToo thriller After the Hunt, starring Julia Roberts.
The trailer released Wednesday features Roberts as Alma, an acclaimed college professor seemingly at the pinnacle of her career.
When her student Maggie (Ayo Edebiri) doesn't show up to class and claims Alma's colleague Hank (Andrew Garfield) "crossed the line," Alma "finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads."
While Maggie insists Hank sexually assaulted her, Hank asserts that she'd been plagiarizing.
Alma is caught in the middle and a "dark secret from her own past threatens to come into the light," an official synopsis reads.
Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Challengers) directs from a script by Nora Garrett.
Michael Stulbarg and Chloe Sevigny also star in the film, which arrives in theaters Oct. 17.

Tech firm CEO resigns amid Coldplay concert kiss cam controversy
Coldplay singer Chris Martin pointed out an embarrassing moment during a Wednesday night concert in Massachusetts that caught Astronomer chief executive officer Andy Byron with a woman other than his wife on a "kiss cam" shot. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo July 19 (UPI) -- Software developer Astronomer says former Chief Executive Officer Andy Byron resigned amid controversy following his attendance at a recent Coldplay concert. New York-based Astronomer confirmed Byron's resignation on Saturday and said co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy is its interim chief executive officer while its board of directors seeks a permanent replacement for Byron. "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding," Astronomer officials said Saturday in a post on X. "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met." Byron is married but was caught attending a Coldplay concert with another woman on Wednesday night at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. The stadium's "kiss cam" zeroed in on Byron with his arms wrapped around a woman standing in front of him during the concert, NBC News reported. When they realized they were on the kiss cam, Byron ducked out of the camera shot, while the unidentified woman covered her face. Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin noticed the pair's reaction during the concert and opined: "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." The video of the moment went viral, and social media sleuths identified the man as Byron. Astronomer placed him on leave on Friday before accepting his resignation a day later, according to NBC News. The tech firm is a relatively small company with fewer than 500 employees and noted the viral incident's impact on its operations. "While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not," Astronomer said in its X post. "We're continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems."

Amazon's 'James Bond' Reboot Gets Massive New Update
Amazon's 'James Bond' Reboot Gets Massive New Update originally appeared on Parade. It's been just under four years since audiences have last seen the debonair gentleman secret agent James Bond in action. With 2021's No Time to Die officially wrapping up Daniel Craig's tenure in the series, many viewers have wondered what the future holds for the United Kingdom's most famous espionage operative. Fortunately, after years of avid speculation regarding the James Bond franchise and its recent acquisition by Amazon Prime, the long-awaited 007 reboot has just received a promising new development. This past Wednesday, Amazon MGM Studios announced that Dune's celebrated filmmaker, Denis Villeneuve, has officially joined the James Bond franchise to direct the series' next installment. The announcement comes as Villeneuve continues to remain hard at work on the third and fourth entries in his blockbuster Dune franchise, which has earned considerable acclaim following the first Dune film's release in 2021. 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007," Villeneuve said in a statement coinciding with the announcement. "I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come." "This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor," the Blade Runner 2049 director continued on. "[Producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman] and I are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust.' Mike Hopkins, the head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, echoed the filmmaker's sentiments, stating, 'We are honored that Denis has agreed to direct James Bond's next chapter. He is a cinematic master, whose filmography speaks for itself. From Blade Runner 2049 to Arrival to the Dune films, he has delivered compelling worlds, dynamic visuals, complex characters, and—most importantly—the immersive storytelling that global audiences yearn to experience in theaters." "James Bond is in the hands of one of today's greatest filmmakers and we cannot wait to get started on 007's next adventure," Hopkins concluded.
