Luca Guadagnino, Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield flew into Vegas today to talk up his upcoming thriller After the Hunt from Amazon MGM Studios and Imagine Entertainment. It’s the filmmaker’s fourth movie with Amazon MGM Studios after Suspiria, Bones and All and Challengers. Guadagnino never dwells in one genre, or one subject, and After the Fall is throwback to ’90s thrillers like Michael Crichton’s Disclosure with a little Curtis Hanson’s Wonder Boys thrown in (in the very upside down sense of the word; that was a drama, this is very much a nail-biting thriller).
Set for limited domestic release on October 10, the psychological drama is about a college professor (Roberts) who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star student (Edebiri) levels an accusation against one of her colleagues (Garfield), and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come into the light.
Garfield’s professor has that lothario aura let’s just say he spent too much time in Edebiri’s apartment. He’s accusing her of plagiarism. Edebiri’s character puts her faith in Roberts to bail her out. But by the end of the trailer, she’s had enough.

“I don’t feel comfortable having this conversation with you anymore,” says Edebiri.
Retorts Roberts, “Not everything is suppose to make you feel comfortable.”
After the Hunt also stars Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny. Nora Garrett wrote the script.
Producers are Brian Grazer, Guadagnino, Jeb Brody and Allan Mandelbaum.
