Lights, camera, laughter! Julia Roberts, our forever Pretty Woman, has bounced back onto the big screen, but this time with a new hairdo and a whole lot of giggles. At 56, the Oscar-winner is proving that age is just a number—and a great punchline. Spotted in Cambridge, England, on Tuesday (July 9), Julia was flashing her pearly whites and rocking her freshly dyed blonde locks, ready to bring the funny to the set of “After the Hunt” with the artsy-fartsy director Luca Guadagnino.
Our beloved Julia strutted her stuff in not one but two fashion ensembles that made us wonder if she’s auditioning for a fashion runway! First, she dazzled in a gray plaid blazer over a white tee paired with white jeans—because, why not? Then, she pulled a Clark Kent and swapped into a suave black blazer, ready to shoot more scenes or maybe a GQ cover.
Joining Julia in this cinematic circus are Andrew Garfield (no, not the cat), Ayo Edebiri (bring the laughs, girl!), Chloe Sevigny (queen of quirky roles), Michael Stuhlbarg (the serious one), Lio Mehiel (rising star alert!), Ariyan Kassam (mystery man), and Will Price (what’s his price?).
And because no movie set is complete without a little pre-show bonding, over the weekend, Julia took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes snap with her new gang. “Here we go!” she captioned, which we assume was followed by an off-camera “Wheeee!”
So, what’s this flick all about? Written by the suspense-sorceress Nora Garrett, “After the Hunt” is described by Deadline as an intense dramatic thriller. Picture this: a college professor (Roberts) gets caught in a whirlwind of drama when a star student accuses a colleague of something scandalous. Oh, and did we mention Julia’s character has her own skeletons rattling in the closet?
Buckle up, because with a plot like that and a cast full of characters, “After the Hunt” is sure to be a rollercoaster ride of thrills, chills, and probably a few unintentional spills. Stay tuned for more shenanigans from the set!
