What Julia Robert’s Performance Means For After The Hunt
Roberts Is The Biggest Draw After The Hunt Has
After the Huntis Roberts' next major production.Directed by Luca Guadagnino(Challengers), the thriller will follow a college professor struggling to reckon with allegations about her colleague. Alongside Roberts' Alma Olsson, it stars Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man), Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Michael Stuhlbarg (The Shape of Water), and more. While all are exceptional actors, Guadagnino spoke on theWTF with Marc MaronPodcastabout Roberts' role in particular.He had nothing but praise for her.Check out his quote below (viaWorld of Reel):
[After The Hunt] is about what happens in the milieu of academia between older and younger people. It tackles the idea of consent. The movie is very provocative… I’ve been a fan of Julia forever. As a movie star, she has something that not everybody has, and, I’m trying not to be presumptive, but I feel likethis is the best performance she’s ever given.
As Roberts isalready an Oscar-winning actor, who has also won at the British Academy Film Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, and the Critics’ Choice Awards, it is hard to imagine a performance that can rival her legendary role inErin Brockovich(2000). If she can manage to rival that, thenRoberts is likely to add more awards to her shelf. Unfortunately,After the Huntdoes not yet have a release date or a trailer, so it will be some time before any insight into her portrayal is offered. Still, the movie is expected to be released sometime in 2025, so news should be coming soon.
Our Take On Robert’s After The Hunt Performance
There Is No Way To Tell The Voracity
Without a trailer, there is no way to say just how accurate Guadagnino’s comments are. The movie began production in July, so he has certainly had enough time to review her portrayal, but it is also likely that he could be marketing his movie. Roberts is an incredible actor, but any claim that an upcoming role will be her bestshould be viewed with skepticism. Until more information aboutAfter the Huntis released, this claim will remain dubious. Still, given that Roberts has hardly lost her touch, it could mark her first major Academy Awards run since 2014.
