Tony Gilroy on Leaving the Politics of 'Andor' Behind for His 9-Composer Music Drama 'Behemoth!'
Pedro Pascal stars as a cellist in a $36 million film that uses nine composers to build its score, Searchlight Pictures said.
- Tony Gilroy's Behemoth! premiered last weekend at the New York Film Festival, featuring Pedro Pascal as a perpetually on-the-run cellist. Searchlight Pictures financed the $36 million film, a character study in the mold of Gilroy's 2007 masterpiece, Michael Clayton.
- Gilroy tapped into his musical roots to guide the project, assembling nine composers dubbed the Behemoth! Collective to fill the film with music. This marks his fourth feature as a director after years as an in-demand screenwriter.
- Following his six-year run on Andor, which Gilroy said was "the most life-changing creative intensity you could ever have," he transformed the Rogue One spinoff into an exploration of fascism and revolution.
- Seeking sanctuary from politics, Gilroy reflected on the "de-muscularization of progressives," noting a lack of charismatic leadership. He found creative relief in scoring sessions he described as "incredibly intense."
- Gilroy criticized the Warner Bros and Discovery merger by Paramount Skydance, defending studios as "real studios" with no reason to be "merged or pulled apart." He emphasized that "This is a healthy business that we know how to do.
