Hollywood is abuzz with excitement as Olivia Wilde officially boards Behemoth!, the highly anticipated drama from acclaimed filmmaker Tony Gilroy — best known for Michael Clayton and Andor. The film, produced by Searchlight Pictures, already boasts an impressive lineup featuring Pedro Pascal and David Harbour in pivotal roles.
According to early reports, Behemoth! will follow the story of a talented cellist and film composer (played by Pascal) who returns to Los Angeles after years away. The narrative is said to unfold in a non-linear fashion, blending past and present through music-driven storytelling. Wilde is set to play his former lover, adding emotional weight and complexity to the plot.
Described as a “love letter to the music of movies and the people who make it,” Gilroy’s Behemoth! promises a deeply introspective look at art, memory, and relationships. The film reportedly uses music cues to trigger flashbacks, offering an innovative cinematic experience unlike anything audiences have seen recently.
David Harbour, best known for Stranger Things and Black Widow, joins the ensemble alongside Eva Victor, adding even more star power to an already impressive cast. Production is expected to kick off soon in Los Angeles, with Searchlight Pictures eyeing a festival debut in late 2026.
For Gilroy, Behemoth! marks a return to feature filmmaking after his success with Andor, the critically acclaimed Star Wars prequel series. With his knack for layered storytelling and morally complex characters, fans can expect a film rich in emotional resonance and visual artistry.
While details about the release date remain under wraps, Behemoth! is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about prestige dramas in development — a project uniting powerhouse performances with a filmmaker known for his razor-sharp storytelling.
