Julia Roberts looks set to give fans all-star performance in new psychological thriller
The trailer has been released for award-winning director Luca Guadagnino's next psychological thriller starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri. The film, entitled After The Hunt, centres around a college professor who finds herself at a 'personal and professional crossroads' when a star student levels an accusation against one of her colleagues, while a dark secret from her past threatens to come to light. Call Me by Your Name star Michael Stuhlbarg and American Psycho's Chloë Sevigny are also included in the star-studded cast. Andrew Garfield looks intense in the After The Hunt trailer. Pic: Sony Pictures The trailer kicks off with Ayo's character, the star student Maggie, seemingly invited to an after-hours gathering with her professors and other select students. She has a back and forth debate with the professor named Hank, played by Andrew Garfield, about the views that different generations have on 'offending' people, with Hank questioning when younger people made it a 'cardinal sin' and why they are afraid to 'say the wrong thing'. Maggie hits back with: 'Maybe it was around the same time your generation started making sweeping generalisations about ours.' The trailer takes a dark turn when Maggie skips her favourite professor's (Julia Roberts') class and waits for her at what appears to be the home she shares with Michael's character. Ayo Edebiri already has a huge Irish following. Pic: Sony Pictures Maggie, looking dishevelled and incredibly uneasy, tells her with a shaky voice that Hank 'crossed the line' after walking her home. Tension further rises when Maggie brings up her professor's 'history' as the focus shifts to Julia's character's mysterious backstory. What follows is a series of scenes that establish Julia's position as the centre of conflict between students and professors, hearing stories from both sides and seemingly weighed down by a fast-approaching dilemma that will affect both her personal and professional relationships. Michael Stuhlbarg is another strong addition to the After The Hunt cast. Pic: Sony Pictures Julia ends the trailer in suspense as she whispers to Maggie: 'Not everything is supposed to make you feel comfortable.' Luca Guadagnino has consistently delighted fans in the past with his films, such as Call Me by Your Name in 2017 and Challengers in 2024. The Italian director will be hoping this latest thriller could earn him a second Oscar nomination for Best Picture, with his first coming in 2018 for the aforementioned drama starring Timotheé Chalamet. Julia Roberts looks set for a big performance. Pic: Sony Pictures Meanwhile, Ayo Edebiri is a popular figure among Irish fans who have a long-running joke that she is one of our own, despite her having no technical heritage from the island. Since using an Irish accent in an interview where she joked that she played Jenny the donkey in The Banshees of Inisherin, Ayo was labelled an 'honorary Irish person' across social media and the gag has continued over the past couple of years. Now, she looks set to shine as bright as both Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield in what could be three of the most gripping performances of 2025. After The Hunt, written by Nora Garrett, will arrive in cinemas this October.
