Tony Gilroy, the veteran screenwriter behind the "Bourne" franchise, director of "The Bourne Legacy" and creator of the "Star Wars" spinoff series "Andor," will return to theaters with "Behemoth!," his fourth feature as writer-director. Ahead of the film’s December 4 U.S. release, Searchlight Pictures has unveiled its second trailer. The drama is already being tipped as a contender in the upcoming awards race and could earn Pedro Pascal his first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

The official synopsis reads: Gifted cellist Alex Serian returns home to Los Angeles after spending 20 years touring the world. Music has always been the constant, all-consuming river of his life, and it now begins carrying Alex toward an adventure that will change him forever.

The ensemble cast also includes Will Arnett, Eva Victor, Matthew Lillard, Eden Epstein, Margarita Levieva and Olivia Wilde.

The film’s music lineup is every bit as stacked as its cast. Nine composers contributed to the project: "Get Out" composer Michael Abels, pianist Emily Bear, "East of Wall" composer Lukas Frank, "The Incredibles" veteran Michael Giacchino, "The Hunger Games" composer James Newton Howard, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" composer Henry Jackman, "Dream Productions" composer Nami Melumad, "Andor" composer Brandon Roberts and "Avengers" veteran Alan Silvestri. Each created original music for a different fictional movie featured in the film.
