“What are you doing here?” Searchlight Pictures has revealed a teaser trailer for a highly anticipated new film titled Behemoth!, the latest creation from accalimed writer / director Tony Gilroy, best known for Michael Clayton (brilliant film), the Bourne movies, and “Andor” series most recently. The film stars Pedro Pascal as a famous cellist from a family of musicians who returns to Los Angeles to start a career as a music composer for movies. A love letter to the music of the movies and the people who make it. Gilroy has been a huge lover of movie music his whole life and is finally making his personal story about that passion. The film features a series of composers known as “The Behemoth! Collective” all creating music for it – including: Michael Abels, Emily Bear, Lukas Frank, Michael Giacchino, James Newton Howard, Henry Jackman, Nami Melumad, Brandon Roberts, & Alan Silvestri (reported by The Playlist). The title is a reference to a major movie Pascal’s character is creating music for called Behemoth!. The full cast includes Pascal, with Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor, Alexa Swinton, Kaya Ralls, Erik Griffin, Jobeth Williams, Margarita Levieva, with Hank Azaria & Will Arnett. What a fabulous teaser – I’m extra hyped for this.
