After the Hunt trailer see Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield bring messy #MeToo scandal to screen: Here's what to expect
Julia Roberts is caught between truth and reputation
The trailer wastes no time dragging us into the mess. Garfield's character, Hank, goes full anti-Gen Z boomer mode, whining about how everyone is 'scared of saying the wrong thing.' But Edebiri's Maggie isn't having it, clapping back with all the fire Gen Z is known for. Their academic sparring quickly spirals when Maggie shows up at Roberts' door with accusations that Hank assaulted her, while Hank insists she is cheating in class. Yep. Drama.
After the Hunt
From whispered office politics to full-on breakdowns, the trailer teases a storm of secrets bubbling under Roberts' seemingly polished surface. Maggie puts it all on blast, calling out the white institution's tendency to centre itself even in the face of Black trauma. Her line about a young Black woman being assaulted while 'white people make it about themselves'? A full-on mic drop moment.
Who's behind the madness of After The Hunt?
Directed by the master of slow-burn drama Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Bones and All), this psychological thriller is written by Nora Garrett and packed with A-listers like Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny. It hits NYC and L.A. theatres on 10 October before going wide on 17 October, and yes, the drama looks worth every second.
