Searchlight Pictures has released the trailer for “Behemoth!,” a new drama film from Tony Gilroy about a family of Los Angeles musicians.
The film’s logline reads, “A gifted cellist, Alex Serian, returns home to Los
Angeles after 20 years on the road. Music, which has been the constant, all-consuming river of his life, begins to carry Alex on an adventure that will change him forever.”
Cast members include Pedro Pascal, Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor, Alexa Swinton, Kaya Ralls, Erik Griffin, JoBeth Williams, Margarita Levieva, Hank Azaria and Will Arnett. Gilroy, whose previous directorial works include “Michael Clayton” and “The Bourne Legacy,” directed and wrote the film. Gilroy also produced the film alongside John Gilroy and Sanne Wohlenberg. Executive producers include Cameron Chidsey, Katie Goodson, DanTram Nguyen, Jeremy Reitz and Rayne Roberts.
David Harbour was originally set to start in the film, but dropped out in January. Sources told Variety at the time that Harbour was overwhelmed by the series wrap of Netflix’s marquee series “Stranger Things” and backed out of his role to rest.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Pascal explained what inspired him to join the film and provided a little more context about his character, a classically trained cellist named Alex.
“There was something overall about this story that I think I connected to more cerebrally and emotionally,” Pascal said. “[Alex is] not a rock star. He’s not even somebody that’s looking for the spotlight. He’s just someone whose first language is music…. It’s a love letter to music; it’s a love letter to movies. It’s about family; it’s about legacy; it’s about healing. I wished for myself this kind of experience as an actor before I ever got to act.”
