Watch: Julia Roberts stars in #MeToo thriller 'After the Hunt'
July 16 (UPI) -- Amazon MGM Studios is teasing its upcoming #MeToo thriller After the Hunt, starring Julia Roberts.
The trailer released Wednesday features Roberts as Alma, an acclaimed college professor seemingly at the pinnacle of her career.
When her student Maggie (Ayo Edebiri) doesn't show up to class and claims Alma's colleague Hank (Andrew Garfield) "crossed the line," Alma "finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads."
While Maggie insists Hank sexually assaulted her, Hank asserts that she'd been plagiarizing.
Alma is caught in the middle and a "dark secret from her own past threatens to come into the light," an official synopsis reads.
Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Challengers) directs from a script by Nora Garrett.
Michael Stulbarg and Chloe Sevigny also star in the film, which arrives in theaters Oct. 17.

Netflix reveals it used AI in Argentinian sci-fi series
1 of 2 | The Netflix streaming service said this week it is using artificial intelligence for the first time in order to create realistic effects for a foreign sci-fi series. File Photo by Christian Monterrosa/EPA July 18 (UPI) -- The Netflix streaming service said this week it is using artificial intelligence for the first time in order to create realistic effects for a foreign sci-fi series. The company's revenue is certainly on the rise, which rose 16% during the second quarter of 2025, and is expected to be between $44.8 billion and $45.2 billion, up from a range of $43.5 billion to $44.5 billion as per its full-year revenue forecast. Its profits grew from $2.1 billion to $3.1 billion. As for its AI usage, Netflix co-Chief Executive Ted Sarandos said the Argentinian science fiction program The Eternaut was the first for which generative AI footage was utilized. "We remain convinced that AI represents an incredible opportunity to help creators make films and series better, not just cheaper," he told analysts Thursday after Netflix reported its second-quarter financial results. According to Sarandos, visual effects artists used AI for Eternaut to show the collapse of a building. "Using AI-powered tools, they were able to achieve an amazing result with remarkable speed and, in fact, that VFX sequence was completed 10 times faster than it could have been completed with traditional VFX tools and workflows," he said. "The cost of [the special effects without the use of AI] just wouldn't have been feasible for a show in that budget." The Eternaut, or El Eternauta, is based on an apocalyptic Argentine comic book and graphic novel about the survivors of an alien invasion.

Nicotero founded the KNB special effects company with Robert Kurtzman and Howard Berger, and does zombie makeup for and executive produces The Walking Dead. Shout! Producer and Manager of Video Production Jeff Roland credited Jessica Ronderos and Chad Wiley of Deluxe, Duplitech's Steve Johnson, Ashley Franks-McGill and Jeffrey Flam, Lionsgate's Diane Levine and Fotokem's Debbie Zamislka with help finding the elements.
