Based on the first trailer for After the Hunt, Luca Guadagnino looks to have made his most Oscar-friendly film since Call Me by Your Name. Written by Nora Garrett, the #MeToo thriller, starring Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Chloë Sevigny, concerns a sexual assault scandal at a university, and the trailer is unnervingly fixated on how more than just words are weaponized in such academic settings.
Per the logline, “After the Hunt is a gripping psychological drama about a college professor (Roberts) who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star student (Edebiri) levels an accusation against one of her colleagues (Garfield), and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come into the light.”
After the Hunt open in NY and LA on October 10, before expanding on October 17.
