Thanks to films likeCall Me by Your NameandBones and All,Luca Guadagnino has established himself as a filmmaker who knows how to narrate complex stories with such charm that will end up leaving you speechless. And now, the Italian director will soon be coming out with yet another masterpiece as he teams up with renowned actress, Julia Roberts.
While we do not doubt that Luca Guadagnino is going to hit a home run once again withAfter the Hunt,several sources have something to say that makes us even more confident in the filmmaker’s upcoming art. According to those who had the privilege of reading the script ofAfter the Hunt,the film could have some similarities with a critically acclaimed film starring Cate Blanchett –Tár.

The film’s script is written by first-time screenwriter Nora Garrett. She will also serve as the film’s executive along with Karen Lunder, Imagine Entertainment. As for the story, Robert’s character“finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star pupil levels an accusation against one of her colleagues.”
Now, while the plot sounds quite interesting on its own, some sources have had something incredible to say about the film’s script. As per film reporter Justin Kroll,“several sources who have read the scripts said it reminded them of TAR set in the world of academia.”

If you have seenTár,you’ll agree that this statement is nothing short of a compliment. Given the fact that the 2022 psychological drama by Todd Field was nominated for six Oscars last year, we can’t help but wonder ifGuadagninoand Roberts are in for a treat at the future Academy Awards.

IfAfter the Huntmanages to exceed the hype ofTár,it might be possible that Roberts will finally get to take home her second Oscar after winning one all the way back in 2001 forErin Brockovich.
TárWas a Masterpiece in the Eyes of the Critics
Tárfollowed the story of conductor Lydia Tár played byCate Blanchett, who was forced to face accusations of misconduct. Clearly, we can already see some similarities betweenTárandAfter the Huntand this may prove to be a good thing for the upcoming thriller.
Not only didTárreceive 6 Oscar nominations, including Best Director and Best Actress, but the film was also named the Best Film of the Yearby many criticsincluding Vanity Fair.
Call Me By Your Name 2 Might Bring Back Armie Hammer as Director Luca Guadagnino Not Concerned About Actor’s Sexual Abuse and Cannibalism Accusations
OnRotten Tomatoes, Field’s film has an extremely high rating of 91% with the consensus calling Blanchett’s performance“note-perfect.”Unfortunately,Tárcould not obtain a win at the box office as the film only made a little over$29 millionat the worldwide box office. But hey, you can’t always put a price on art, can you?
IfAfter the Huntreally does follow in the footsteps ofTár,Guadagnino might be looking at adding yet another masterpiece to his collection.
There is no official release date forAfter the Huntyet.
