Hot on the heels of the first photos yesterday, the first trailer is out for “Andor” creator and “Michael Clayton” writer/director Tony Gilroy’s new film “Behemoth!” starring Pedro Pascal.
Pascal reportedly appears in nearly every scene in the film and replaces Oscar Isaac who was originally cast in the role. He plays Alex Serian, a former child prodigy and third-generation studio musician who has spent over two decades travelling, using his skills as a gifted cellist for hire.
Now, he returns home to Los Angeles to work on film scores. Each time he performs the opening cue from a different fictional movie, the music triggers a flashback revealing why he left and what finally brought him home after nearly 25 years.
Also starring are Hank Azaria as his father, Will Arnett as his brother, Olivia Wilde as an ex-girlfriend, Eva Victor as a fellow cellist, and the likes of Matthew Lillard, Margarita Levieva, Jobeth Williams, Kaya Ralls, Erik Griffin and Alexa Swinton.
To make sure each film score has its own identity, Gilroy hired nine composers to tackle a score each – Michael Giacchino, James Newton Howard, Alan Silvestri, Michael Abels, Emily Bear, Lukas Frank, Henry Jackman, Nami Melumad, and Brandon Roberts.
Searchlight Pictures has yet to set a release date beyond obviously sometime later this year.
