Trailer: Pedro Pascal Plays Cello In Tony Gilroy Music Drama ‘Behemoth!’

The Mandalorian lead teams up with the creator of Andor? Although it sounds like an eventful Star Wars pairing, Pedro Pascal and Tony Gilroy are not collaborating in a galaxy far, far away. Behemoth!, set in the City of Angels, is an entirely different tune altogether. Check out the trailer below!

Behemoth! centers on Alex Serian (Pedro Pascal), a gifted cellist who has spent 20 years on the road. Alex has returned home to sunny Los Angeles to embark on a new and life changing adventure. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Pascal described the film as a “love letter to music (and) a love letter to movies.” Pascal was recently seen in Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Rounding out the cast are Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor, Alexa Swinton, Kaya Ralls, Erik Griffin, JoBeth Williams, Margarita Levieva, Hank Azaria, and Will Arnett.

Tony Gilroy, the creator and showrunner of the acclaimed series Andor, also directed the features Michael Clayton and Duplicity. He produced Behemoth! with his brother (and Behemoth!) editor John Gilroy and Sanne Wohlenberg. Music from the film is from The Behemoth! Collective.

The teaser trailer, filled with music and tense pacing that is giving off a bit of Hitchcockian vibes, pulled me in without giving too much away. I’m definitely intrigued and am looking forward to seeing the movie.

The feature hits theaters December 4 via Searchlight Pictures. Gilroy is a two-time Oscar nominee, and December releases usually signal awards worthy movies. Will Behemoth! be an awards season favorite? Check out the trailer and share your thoughts in the comments!
