Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield tackle #MeToo tensions in gripping ‘After the Hunt' trailer
Roberts stars as a respected professor whose world is upended when a student named Maggie (Ayo Edebiri) accuses a fellow professor, Hank (Andrew Garfield), of assault. 'He crossed the line,' Maggie says in the trailer, sparking chaos on campus as the faculty begins to question not just the accusation, but each other. Meanwhile, a secret from Roberts' character's own past threatens to resurface.
The trailer hints at deeper themes beneath the surface, generational conflict, campus politics, and the echoes of the #MeToo movement. Screenwriter Nora Garrett crafts an intimate drama that challenges power dynamics and moral ambiguity in academia.
Joining Roberts, Garfield, and Edebiri are Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny, rounding out a formidable ensemble. The film was first previewed at CinemaCon 2025, where the cast praised Guadagnino's bold storytelling. 'He explores desire, envy, betrayal and love,' Garfield said. Edebiri added, 'It's a film made to watch and discuss together.'
Produced by Amazon MGM Studios, After the Hunt opens in theaters on October 10. This marks Roberts' first major release since 2023's Leave the World Behind and continues Guadagnino's streak of buzzy, thought-provoking dramas.
With layered performances, high-stakes emotions, and a razor-sharp script, After the Hunt is poised to spark conversation, and possibly awards buzz, when it lands in cinemas this fall.

Steven Knight tapped to write next James Bond movie at Amazon MGM Studios
Amazon MGM Studios has officially brought on Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight to pen the next installment in the James Bond franchise. Following months of speculation and creative meetings, Knight was confirmed after aligning creatively with Denis Villeneuve, who was previously announced as the director of the upcoming 007 film. The project marks a significant milestone for Amazon MGM Studios, which secured full creative control of the Bond franchise earlier this year after completing a $1 billion-plus acquisition. The studio is taking a careful approach to rebooting the legendary spy series, with Amy Pascal and David Heyman producing and Tanya Lapointe executive producing. While casting for the new James Bond has not yet been decided, sources indicate that the immediate focus is on developing the script. Knight's appointment came after an extensive search, culminating in a final meeting with Villeneuve, who is currently working on Dune: Part Three. Steven Knight's writing credits include the BAFTA-winning Peaky Blinders, Taboo, See, and SAS: Rogue Heroes. His film credits include the Oscar-nominated Eastern Promises, Spencer, and Dirty Pretty Things. Knight also created the global game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? This move signals a bold new chapter for the James Bond franchise, blending Knight's gritty storytelling style with Villeneuve's cinematic vision. Production timelines remain unclear, especially as Villeneuve finishes his Dune trilogy and Knight works on the Bond script. Knight is repped by CAA, United Agents, and Davis Law Group. Fans should expect further announcements once the script progresses and casting begins.

Lily James hunts Chris Hemsworth in Amazon thriller ‘Subversion'
Lily James is set to star alongside Chris Hemsworth in Subversion, a high-tension submarine thriller produced by Amazon MGM Studios. The film casts Hemsworth as a disgraced naval commander forced into a smuggling operation while pursued by a determined Coast Guard officer, played by James. The film promises psychological intensity and claustrophobic action as loyalties blur in open waters. Hemsworth's character is blackmailed by a cartel-like organisation into piloting a submarine filled with illegal cargo through international seas. James's officer is hot on his trail, locked into a high-stakes game of pursuit and evasion. With the crew's loyalty fraying and danger mounting from all sides, the line between predator and prey starts to vanish. Directed by 7500's Patrick Vollrath and written by Andrew Ferguson, the film aims to bring gritty realism to the genre. Lorenzo di Bonaventura produces the project, with Stephen Shafer and Greg Cohen serving as executive producers under di Bonaventura Pictures. James's casting continues her momentum in a slate filled with diverse roles. After earning critical acclaim for Pam & Tommy, she returns with major titles including Relay opposite Riz Ahmed and Swiped, a Hulu film inspired by Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd. She's also involved in Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, Harmonia, and the upcoming reboot of Cliffhanger, solidifying her position as one of the most versatile British actresses in current cinema. Amazon is reportedly banking on the magnetic pairing of Hemsworth and James to deliver a global hit. While a release date hasn't been revealed, early buzz suggests Subversion will make waves for its suspense, star power, and underwater thrills.
