'It's the right thing to do, isn't it? To tell someone and, you know, given your history,' Edebiri asks Roberts at one point in the trailer. 'What does that mean, my history?' Roberts responds with what becomes a key point in the feature from Imagine Entertainment as her own past threatens to be revealed.
At first Gibson accuses Price of plagiarism. But at another point in the teaser, an increasingly desperate Gibson tells Olsson 'you know the truth, and you won't say it, because it'll make you look bad.' The trailer ends with Edebiri telling Roberts, 'I don't feel comfortable having this conversation with you anymore.'
And Roberts responds with a tagline for the movie: 'Not everything is supposed to make you feel comfortable.' Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny round out the cast for After The Hunt, which Guadagnino directed from a script by Nora Garrett.
The producer credits are shared by Guadagnino, Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody and Allan Mandelbaum, with Karen Lunder, Justin Wilkes, Alice Dawson and Garrett executive producing.
After the Hunt reunites Guadagnino with Amazon MGM Studios, which released his Zendaya-led film Challengers last year. His other features as director include Call Me by Your Name (2017), Suspiria (2018), Bones and All (2022) and Queer (2024).

Watch: Steve Buscemi recalls failed 'Tin Men' audition on 'Late Show'
1 of 4 | Steve Buscemi recalled some of his failed auditions on Wednesday night's episode of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo July 24 (UPI) -- Actor Steve Buscemi appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and discussed some of the roles he failed to land, including a part in Barry Levinson's 1987 comedy Tin Men. Buscemi, who is currently starring in Netflix's Wednesday, told Colbert he decided to really prepare for his audition with Levinson. "I studied the sides, the script, and I went in there, did my reading, my audition, and he went, 'That was really good, that's really good, Steve. Alright, 'Let's try it again,'" the actor recalled. "He gave me a very specific note, and I don't remember what that was, but he wanted me to add a different color to it, or shading. I went, 'OK,' and then I read it again, the exact same way I just did it." "There was this silence, and we both just looked at each other, and I think I even said, 'That was the same, wasn't it?' He said, 'It's OK, it's OK.' Needless to say, I did not get that part," Buscemi said. Buscemi recalled another time he auditioned for director Mike Nichols and casting director Juliet Taylor for the film Biloxi Blues, despite knowing he had a scheduling conflict. "I went in, I do the audition, and they love it," he said. "They were laughing, they were like, 'That's great! Yeah, good.' And I went, 'So, when are you shooting this?'" Buscemi said he told them he was not available on the shooting dates. "And again, this, like, silence. And I could see Juliet Taylor looking at me like, 'What is wrong with you?'" While he did not land Tin Man or Biloxi Blues, Buscemi is known for such films as Reservoir Dogs, Fargo and The Big Lebowski, along with the HBO series Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos.

Inside the Hulk Hogan Biopic with Chris Hemsworth and Why It Was Never Made
Hulk Hogan called the Netflix biopic's script "powerful," even hoping Chris Hemsworth would receive Oscar attention for his role Hulk Hogan's life story was almost a feature film before his death. The former wrestler, who gained fame in the '80s and '90s, died on Thursday, July 24 at 71. He was set to be portrayed by one of Hollywood's most chiseled actors, Chris Hemsworth, in a Netflix biopic. But, according to Hogan in a former interview, contract issues killed the project. First announced in 2019, the film was to be helmed by Joker director Todd Phillips. The Hollywood Reporter reported at the time that Hemsworth, 41, would play Hogan throughout his career and the movie would be "an origin story of the Hulkster and Hulkamania." In a 2020 interview with Total Film, via Comic Book, Hemsworth shared his excitement for portraying the rise of Hulkamania on screen. "This movie is going to be a really fun project," Hemsworth said. "As you can imagine, the preparation for the role will be insanely physical. I will have to put on more size than I ever have before, even more than I put on for Thor. There is the accent as well as the physicality and the attitude." "I will also have to do a deep dive into the rabbit hole of the wrestling world, which I'm really looking forward to doing," Hemsworth said, adding he'll also have to dye his hair blond and have a mustache to match the wrestler's iconic look. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In 2021, the film still seemed a go — with Hogan sharing an appreciative photo of the Thor actor showing off some bulky arms on Instagram. "My brother has that Hogan Pump on Jack, looks like he could slam Andre brother," Hogan captioned the shot, referring to late iconic wrestler Andre the Giant. (Hemsworth had originally posted the photo on his social media to celebrate wrapping Thor: Love and Thunder.) Three years later, during an interview with PDB Podcast, Hogan revealed while he loved the script and even believed Hemsworth could receive Oscar attention, the film had hit a dead end due to the contract. 'They kind of missed a beat in the contract," Hogan said, agreeing with host Patrick Bet-David when asked if Netflix was at fault. "There was a payment that wasn't placed at the right time. The script was amazing. Scott Silver, who wrote the script for Joker, Wolf of Wall Street, a bunch of other movies, said, 'This is the best thing I've ever written.' When I read it, I'm like, oh my god, this is really good." Hogan shared that he worked with Silver for three years, noting it was "very, very dark" but it "was probably what the public may want to see." "When I read it I was like, 'Oh my gosh, if this thing comes out…' there was talk that Chris Hemsworth had never played a real person before and he could probably win an Oscar, this thing is so powerful," Hogan added. In a 2024 interview with Variety, Phillips, 54, also confirmed the film was scrapped. "I love what we were trying to do, but that's not going to come together for me," he said. Hogan had starred in various films himself, including appearing in Rocky III as Thunderlips, as well as having roles in No Holds Barred, Suburban Commando, and Mr. Nanny. On television, he starred in the series Thunder in Paradise and Hogan Knows Best, and had guest appearances on shows like Baywatch and American Dad!. Hogan was recently the subject of the 2017 Netflix film, Nobody Speak, which focused on his high-profile lawsuit against Gawker, the online news outlet that published a sex tape without his permission. The years-long suit ended with Hogan being awarded a multimillion-dollar settlement in 2016, and Gawker and its affiliated websites were later sold off when the company declared bankruptcy.

‘After the Hunt' is the latest Best Picture hopeful to open the New York Film Festival
Luca Guadagnino is going to be on the road a lot in the coming months. One day after the Italian filmmaker's latest feature, After the Hunt, joined the Venice Film Festival lineup as an out of competition selection, the New York Film Festival announced that the Amazon MGM-released film will play as the opening night selection of its 63rd edition. "We are excited to open this year's festival with Luca Guadagnino's latest, which confirms his status as one of the most versatile risk-takers working today," NYFF artistic director Dennis Lim said in a statement. "Brilliantly acted and crafted, After the Hunt is something rare in contemporary cinema: a complex, grown-up movie with a lot on its mind that also happens to be a deeply satisfying piece of entertainment." More from Gold Derby 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps': Instant Oscar odds Jim Jarmusch's 'Father Mother Sister Brother' set for North American premiere at New York Film Festival In his own statement, Guadagnino called NYFF "an arbiter of global cinema," and provided a quick preview of the movie's themes. "I, alongside the incredible cast and crew and our companions at Amazon MGM Studios who made After the Hunt possible, am elated and thrilled to bring to New York our tale of morality and power." That tale plays out against the backdrop of an Ivy League campus where celebrated professor Alma Olsson (Julia Roberts) becomes embroiled in a "he said, she said" case involving two close colleagues: her fellow scholar Hank Gibson (Andrew Garfield) and her pupil Maggie Price (Ayo Edebiri). Their tight-knit relationship unravels when Maggie accuses Hank of assault, a charge that opens up a can of worms in Alma's own past. Introducing After the Hunt's first trailer at CinemaCon earlier this year alongside Edebiri and Guadagnino, Garfield promised that the film would be a conversation-starter throughout award season. "[Luca] has a rare gift of exploring the complexity of what it is to be human," the actor said. "That's why we're so excited for audiences to see After the Hunt. I have a feeling it's a film that needs to be seen in a cinema, because I think it's gonna spark a lot of conversations." Those conversations are sure to fill the Lincoln Center lobby following the movie's NYFF bow on Sept. 26. It's the first time that one of Guadagnino's films has opened the festival, and the director joins a long list of filmmakers who have seen their own opening night selections go on to join the Best Picture race. Just last year, for example, RaMell Ross's Nickel Boys — another Amazon MGM release — went on to the 10 Best Picture nominees after kicking off the 62nd edition of NYFF. But arguably the most famous NYFF-to-Oscar transfer remains David Fincher's The Social Network, which had its world premiere at Lincoln Center in 2010 and went on to receive eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. While it lost those statuettes to The King's Speech and its director Tom Hooper, the movie did win three awards: Best Sound Mixing, Best Original Score and Best Adapted Screenplay for Aaron Sorkin, who recently revealed that he's working on a sequel. The 63rd New York Film Festival runs Sept. 26-Oct. 13.
