Actress Julia Roberts first appearance at the Venice Film Festival is for the film "After the Hunt", a movie that centers around MeToo themes.
Venice Film Festival 2025: A Showcase of Major Premieres
The 82nd Venice Film Festival is currently underway, featuring a lineup of highly anticipated films and major premieres. Among these are Julia Roberts' Venice Film Festival debut with the psychosexual drama "After the Hunt," directed by Luca Guadagnino.
"After the Hunt," set in the world of higher education, sees Roberts playing a beloved professor. The film also stars Andrew Garfield as Roberts' colleague, and Ayo Edebiri as Roberts' mentee. The movie will be released theatrically by Amazon MGM Studios on October 10 in North America.
Unfortunately, Luca Guadagnino's "Challengers," which was originally planned to open the Venice Film Festival in 2023, had to be pulled due to Hollywood strikes and will not be a part of this year's festival.
Another major premiere at the festival is Benny Safdie's "The Smashing Machine." Kathryn Bigelow's "A House of Dynamite" is also gracing the screens of the Venice Film Festival, with Bigelow herself presenting the film.
Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" is another film that has made its way to the festival, adding to the excitement of this year's event.
While "After the Hunt" is playing out of competition at the Venice Film Festival, meaning it won't be eligible for major awards, it is still a highly anticipated addition to the festival's lineup.
As the festival continues to run for several more days, more premieres are expected to take place, offering film enthusiasts a wealth of new cinematic experiences. For ongoing coverage of the 2025 Venice Film Festival, readers can visit apnews.com/hub/venice-film-festival.
