Searchlight Pictures has released the official trailer for Behemoth!, the new drama written and directed by Tony Gilroy and starring Pedro Pascal. It opens in US theaters on December 4, 2026.
The story
Pascal plays Alex Serian, a renowned and prolific cellist who comes back to Los Angeles after two decades abroad to compose film scores. Each time he performs the opening cue of a different fictional film, a flashback reveals a little more about why he left in the first place, and what he left behind.
Who's in it
Pascal leads as Alex, with Olivia Wilde as his ex-girlfriend Carol and Eva Victor as Nadia, a colleague who becomes a new love interest. Will Arnett plays his brother Andy and Hank Azaria plays his father Peter. The cast also includes Matthew Lillard, JoBeth Williams, Margarita Levieva, Alexa Swinton, Kaya Ralls and Erik Griffin.
Behind the camera
Gilroy wrote and directed the film, and produces it alongside Sanne Wohlenberg and John Gilroy. The film had its world premiere on October 2, 2026, as the Centerpiece selection of the 64th New York Film Festival.
