Content overview: “Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, Brad Bird Surprise Composer Michael Giacchino with ‘Happ”. Netflix’s animated neo-noir sci-fi “Ray Gunn” had its world premiere at the London Film Festival on Saturday, and the event doubled as a birthday celebration for Oscar-winning composer Michael Giacchino. Director Brad Bird paused the introduction at the Royal Festival Hall to note the special occasion, then invited the audience and stars Scarlett Johansson and Sam Rockwell to sing “Happy Birthday” to Giacchino.
The moment underscored the film’s deep creative bonds: Bird and Giacchino have collaborated for over two decades, from “The Incredibles” to “Ratatouille,” and “Ray Gunn” marks their latest high-profile partnership. The film, a stylish blend of retro-futurism and noir, is one of Netflix’s major animated offerings for the awards season, and the London premiere signals a strategic push to build buzz ahead of its streaming debut.
