Fourteen years after his last feature — and fresh off the acclaimed Star Wars series Andor — Tony Gilroy returns to the big screen with what is the most personal project of his career.
Drawing on his own youth as musician, the director of Michael Clayton describes Behemoth! as a movie that “surfs on music.”
Pedro Pascal plays a cellist from a family of musicians who returns to Los Angeles for session work.
The film’s score is reportedly triggering flashbacks across two decades to reveal why he left and why he’s come back.
Will Arnett — stepping in for Stranger Things‘ David Harbour, who exited after the shoot began — co-stars alongside Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor and Matthew Lillard.
Gilroy reunites with his acclaimed Andor cinematographer Damián García.
Searchlight hasn’t dated the film yet, but it’s expected to launch during the fall awards season, which could set the stage for Gilroy’s European festival debut.
