Discover the Juicy Details from Variety's Interview with Julia Roberts in 'After the Hunt'; Reexamining Lilith Fair in Hulu's Upcoming Documentary

Julia Roberts is showcasing her acting skills in the upcoming film "After the Hunt," a dramatic exploration of the fallout from an accusation of sexual assault on a college campus. Directed by Luca Guadagnino, the film is set to be released in theaters on October 17, produced by Amazon MGM Studios.

Roberts' decision to take on the role was influenced by a personal connection with Guadagnino, which was established during a conversation at a friend's house. The cast, which also includes Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, Chloe Sevigny, and Michael Stuhlbarg, bonded during the 28-day shoot.

The cast's camaraderie was detailed in the latest episode of the "Daily Variety" podcast, where Ramin Setoodeh, Co-Editor in Chief of Variety, conducted an interview with Roberts, Guadagnino, and other key cast members for a cover story.

Meanwhile, music fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the documentary "Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery" on Hulu on September 21. The documentary chronicles the pioneering multi-genre festival, which featured great R&B singers, folk pop singer-songwriters, and rockers mixed together in the lineup.

Sarah McLachlan, who was at the peak of her popularity and industry clout, led the all-female summer tour festival. The documentary might not receive as much credit for being influential in the way it mixed up different genres of music.

Chris Willman, Variety's chief music critic, discusses the documentary in the same episode. "Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery" can be listened to on various podcast platforms, including iHeartPodcasts, Apple Podcasts, Variety's YouTube Podcast channel, Amazon Music, and Spotify.

In "After the Hunt," Roberts plays a flinty college professor. The film promises to be a poignant and thought-provoking drama, offering Roberts an opportunity to delve into a complex and challenging role. With its October release date fast approaching, anticipation for the film is growing.
