All About Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield’s New Movie

After the Hunt is an eagerly anticipated film, recently described by Deadline as one of the “most talked-about scripts in recent memory.” With filming having kicked off in London in July, here’s everything you need to know about this star-studded project.

Directed by Luca Guadagnino, known for his work on Call Me By Your Name and Challengers, the movie is classified as a dramatic thriller. The story centers around a college professor, played by Julia Roberts, who finds herself at a professional crossroads. This upheaval is triggered when a brilliant pupil makes a damning accusation against one of her colleagues, leading to the revelation of a dark secret from her own past.

The cast of After the Hunt is nothing short of spectacular. Julia Roberts stars as the college professor, Alma Olsson. Oscar-nominee Andrew Garfield takes on the role of Hendrik, while Ayo Edebiri from The Bear portrays Maggie. Michael Stuhlbarg plays Frederick Olsson, and the cast is rounded out by Chloe Sevigny, Lio Mehiel, Ariyan Kassam, and Will Price.

On the first day of filming, Ayo Edebiri shared a snapshot of the cast. She humorously included a screenshot from the movie’s director, who had asked her to post the picture on Instagram, but “not as a story.” Edebiri captioned the post with: “After the Hunt #notastory.”

In response to the post, Julia Roberts chimed in with an unimpressed face emoji, hinting at an inside joke between them. Edebiri replied with a slew of smiley and heart face emojis, showing the close camaraderie among the cast.

Fans have been buzzing with excitement about the film. One person wrote, “Chloe and Ayo in a film together??? This is legendary.” Another added, “Andrew’s hand on your shoulder…oh we’re about to FEAST.” A third fan exclaimed, “AYO AND LUCA AND ANDREW GARFIELD OH MY GOD THE COLLAB OF THE CENTURY.” Clearly, there’s a lot of anticipation surrounding this project.

As for the release date, production has only just begun, so there’s no exact date yet. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
