Tony Gilroy credits Andor success for Behemoth film greenlight
Director Tony Gilroy appeared at the BFI London Film Festival Tuesday to discuss his new film Behemoth and credit the recent success of his series Andor.
Gilroy discusses career gamble
The director stated he would not be making this feature without the momentum from the Star Wars spinoff. He told reporters on the red carpet outside London's Royal Festival Hall that winning allows creators to press their bets. Gilroy expressed a desire to keep pushing rather than repeating previous work.
Cast and plot details
The American film stars Pedro Pascal as a cellist returning to Los Angeles after two decades away. The story involves an investigation into the aftermath of a past relationship with a violinist played by Eva Victor. Co-stars include Olivia Wilde, Will Arnett, Hank Azaria and Alexa Swinton.
Production history context
Gilroy served as creator and showrunner for the Disney+ series from 2022 to 2025. This latest project marks his first feature film in fourteen years. The adult drama was considered a hard sell before the series helped secure its production.
