Luca Guadagnino's ‘After the Hunt' to Shoot This Summer — Andrew Garfield Joins the Cast
Fresh off the acclaim of “Challengers,” Luca Guadagnino will be shooting a new film in just a few months.
In March, it was announced that Guadagnino would direct Julia Roberts in a thriller called “After the Hunt” that landed at Amazon/MGM Studios. The script is being penned by Nora Garrett. This is a hot package that is said to have had many bidders.
Deadline is now reporting that Andrew Garfield has joined the cast, and that a summer shoot has been set up. A 2025 release is being planned for the film. The trade additionally claims that “every A-list director and star” has been chasing this project since its inception a couple of years ago.
“After the Hunt” is described as an intense dramatic thriller about a college professor (Roberts) who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star pupil levels an accusation against one of her colleagues, and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come to light.
So, this will be Guadagnino’s next film. He might shoot the Italian-set “Separate Rooms,” starring Josh O’Connor, in 2025. He’s also going to be very busy this fall as his much-anticipated William S. Burroughs adaptation, “Queer,” starring Daniel Craig, is set to premiere at at festivals, including Venice.
Guadagnino has a stack of other projects lined up as well, including an adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ “The Shards,” for HBO. He says a “Call Me By Your Name” sequel, with Armie Hammer and Timothee Chalamet, has been written. Finally, his upcoming adaptation of “The Lord of the Flies” is still in development.

Official: Edgar Wright to Direct ‘Barbarella' Remake, Starring Sydney Sweeney
As we reported last year, there is now confirmation, via Deadline, that Edgar Wright is in talks to direct Sony’s “Barbarella” remake, starring Sydney Sweeney. Jane Goldman (X-Men: First Class) and Honey Ross will be penning the screenplay.
The project had been announced last October. Sweeney, who is set to play the titular character, is also executive producing. Wright is a big fan of the 1968 original, which starred Jane Fonda, and even included on his list of favorite movies.
The 1968 film, directed by Roger Vadim, followed an astronaut from the 41st century who set out to find and stop the evil scientist Durand Durand, whose Positronic Ray threatened to bring evil back into the galaxy.
I find Wright to be an incredibly talented visual filmmaker, but he also has an annoying penchant for infantilism and silliness. There’s a film geek sensibility to his movies that can sometimes rubs me the wrong way. With that being said, his best film is probably “Baby Driver” and its incredible usage of practical effects (save for the absurdly over-the-top last 20 minutes).
With that said, Wright’s next film is also a remake, that of 1987’s “The Running Man.” Glenn Powell, who is everywhere these days, is set to star as the lead.
Wright is coming off the worst-reviewed movie of his career: 2019’s “Last Night in Soho.” He still has his ardent fanbase, who will go and see whatever he does next. He’s built up this base of support with such films as “Hot Fuzz,” “Scott Pilgrim vs The World” and “Shaun of the Dead.”

Finally watched
with Boyd and Elizabeth Moss last night (it's on my watchlist FOR YEARS). Do you know it @Lilja K? It's beautiful and very sad. I only found the english version without any subs and since Boyd is a bit of a texan mumbler I really had to stay focused. But the movie isn't so much carried from the dialougs but Boyds and Elizabeth' exceptional gift to carry every single emotion on their faces (if you watched The Handsmaid's Tale with Moss ya know what I'm walking about) 🤯 It's probably one of Boyds finest perfomances ever.
I also went a bit crazy over his massive shoulders 😚
Call me crazy but in the right light I think his hair had a tad of red what me made think of you

^maybe one reason that they seem in trouble and ironically it has indeed something to do with the race cars 😄 👇

Ahh I only watch the films
Yeah well the AFTER series pushed the endless argues and millions of back and forth too much in my opinion. It's even worse in the books. It was exhausting at some point. I HATED Hardin in the books. He was terrible and treated her terrible. At least Hero Fiennes Tiffin was nice to look at in the movies. Also the last movie ruined pretty much everything making it all about him and some random girl no one cares for. Even though he still looked hot at least lol

Uf I watched one film, not of my taste but nice.
It doesn't end differently in the 1rst book for him but the book explained much better why he makes this
deadlydecision. Also book 2 and 3 is all about her, how she's handling her life after him, how she eventually moves on and finds new love and happiness. -
@AnatasiaSteele82 Next on my list is the TRUST trilogy also from Monika Kasten. Heard nothing but great things about it. The AFTER author loved them lol
-
@AnatasiaSteele82 I also liked the ME BEFORE YOU series by Jojo Moyos. I think the first one is one of the best books I've ever read. So heartbreaking 💔
The 1rst one was turned into a movie but the book is much better.
-
@AnatasiaSteele82 Then you also will probably like this trilogy. Those books made me blush but it's been a while since I read them
-
@AnatasiaSteele82 I also like the CROSSFIRE series - Eva & Gideon- but it contains many many very explicit sex scenes.
-
@AnatasiaSteele82 One of my all time favorite trilogy is the one around Tatiana & Alexander written by Paullina Simons. It's a great love story during WW2 between 17 years old russian Tatiana and 23 years old Alexander Barrington, soldier and american, who came with his parents to Russia when he was a kid because they thought the communist system was a good idea (they learned in the hardest way that it was not at least not under Lenin/Stalin). I've read those books multiple times. So good
