Julia Roberts Promotes After the Hunt as Limited U.S. Release Begins

In fresh interviews, she describes an unusually taxing performance, urging greater closeness off screen.

Overview

  • Roberts is actively promoting Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt, which explores power abuse and #MeToo dynamics at an elite university.
  • She told BILD the role felt like a “freight train” that overran her, calling it foreign, complicated, and demanding.
  • Roberts said her anxieties return when she works less, explaining she seeks difficult roles despite the pressure.
  • Emphasizing ensemble support, she described hosting dinners and gatherings on set and urged people to embrace one another more than ever.
  • Following festival buzz in Venice and a New York Film Festival opening slot, the film opened in select U.S. theaters Oct. 10 with a wider rollout set for Oct. 17, as she appeared at a London premiere with co-star Andrew Garfield.
