Pedro Pascal Was Surprised By Tony Gilroy's 'Behemoth!'
- Director Tony Gilroy's film 'Behemoth!' held its world premiere at the 64th New York Film Festival, marking his return to feature films after a 14-year absence.
- Centered on cellist Alex Serian, played by Pedro Pascal, the story follows the musician's return to Los Angeles after 20 years of self-imposed exile navigating his formidable musical family.

- 'Behemoth!' releases December 4, 2026, utilizing Dolby Atmos sound technology to immerse audiences in the professional music world and heighten the film's sonic ambition.
