The first trailer for ‘After the Hunt,’ the latest film from acclaimed director Luca Guadagnino, has officially dropped, offering a chilling glimpse into a world of moral ambiguity, buried secrets, and personal reckoning.
Led by Julia Roberts in what promises to be one of her most gripping dramatic roles to date, the movie centres on a veteran college professor whose professional and personal stability begins to fracture when a star student, played by Ayo Edebiri, accuses one of her colleagues—portrayed by Andrew Garfield—of misconduct. As tensions rise and the institution closes ranks, a long-suppressed secret from the professor’s past threatens to resurface, forcing her to confront the uncomfortable truths that bind them all.
The film also stars Chloë Sevigny and Michael Stuhlbarg, rounding out a powerhouse ensemble cast in a story that pulses with psychological tension and emotional complexity.
Written by Nora Garrett, ‘After the Hunt’ marks another daring chapter in Guadagnino’s ever-evolving cinematic legacy, following in the footsteps of Call Me by Your Name, Suspiria, and Bones and All. Here, the Italian auteur trades sweeping romance and body horror for a sharp, cerebral drama exploring institutional complicity, generational guilt, and the fine line between justice and self-preservation.
The trailer teases haunting confrontations, shifting allegiances, and an unrelenting sense of dread—all set against the quiet, privileged backdrop of an elite university campus.
