“Pedro Pascal Praises Tony Gilroy for Intimate 'Behemoth!' at NYFF: 'I Thought You Were Gon” — what this page in the network covers. Pedro Pascal expressed surprise at the emotional depth of Tony Gilroy's new film, Behemoth!, following its world premiere at the New York Film Festival. During a post-screening Q&A, the Golden Globe-nominated actor admitted he expected Gilroy—known for the intricate Bourne franchise—to be 'kinda mean' as a collaborator. Instead, Pascal found the experience 'so intimate and healing,' praising Gilroy for crafting a 'complex Jason Bourne-like puzzle' that ultimately prioritizes character over cold plotting. The film, which marks Gilroy's latest directorial effort, drew a strong response from the festival audience.
Pascal's comments highlight a surprising pivot for the filmmaker, suggesting Behemoth! may offer a more personal, emotionally resonant story than his previous work. As awards season approaches, this buzz from NYFF could position the film as a dark horse contender. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
