BREAKING: Olivia Wilde has officially joined Pedro Pascal and David Harbour in the highly anticipated drama Behemoth!, directed by Tony Gilroy for Searchlight Pictures. Filming is set to begin in Los Angeles later this week, bringing immediate excitement to fans and industry insiders alike.
Latest reports confirm that this project marks Gilroy’s first major work since his Emmy Award-nominated stint on Andor. He is not only directing but also producing Behemoth!, working alongside producers Sanne Wohlenberg and John Gilroy, both of whom collaborated with him on the acclaimed Star Wars series.
Although an official logline has yet to be released, sources indicate that Behemoth! is a heartfelt tribute to the music of the movies and the creatives behind it. Pascal will portray a musician from a family of artists who makes a poignant return to Los Angeles, where Wilde will take on the role of his former lover. This dynamic casting promises to deliver compelling performances that will resonate with audiences.
Searchlight Pictures executives Rayne Roberts and Cameron Chidsey are overseeing the production, reporting to heads of production DanTram Nguyen and Katie Goodson-Thomas. The urgency of this project is palpable, as Wilde continues to capture attention with her directorial debut, The Invite, which she stars in alongside Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton.
Earlier this year, Wilde was featured in Rogen’s Apple TV+ series The Studio and had notable roles in Babylon and the thriller Don’t Worry Darling, which she also directed. Her impressive trajectory in film continues to build anticipation for her role in Behemoth!.
As filming kicks off, all eyes are on this promising collaboration, which is expected to deliver an emotionally charged narrative.
