It was recently announced that After the Hunt‘s Guadagnino and star Julia Roberts are being tapped to receive the 2025 Gotham Awards Visionary Tribute at the 35th annual Gotham Film Awards on Dec. 1.
The Visionary Tribute recognizes “groundbreaking collaborations that push the boundaries of storytelling in film,” organizer the Gotham Film & Media Institute said. Last year, James Mangold and Timothée Chalamet received the honor for A Complete Unknown.
Guadagnino has another production he’s prepping with Amazon MGM Studios, the AI feature Artificial, which stars his Bones and All star Mary Rylance, as well as Garfield, Yura Borisov, Monica Barbaro, Billie Lourd, Jason Schwartzman, Cooper Koch, Cooper Hoffman and Ike Barinholtz. Official plot details are being kept under wraps, although the film is being billed as a comedic drama set in the world of artificial intelligence.
