It's been 30 years in the making, but Brad Bird's inventive sci-fi noir Ray Gunn has finally been unleashed upon the world. At the world premiere during the 2026 London Film Festival, FILMHOUNDS had a quick chat with composer—and frequent Brad Bird collaborator—Michael Giacchino about arguing that animation is a medium, not a genre. Ray Gunn had its world premiere at the 2026 London Film Festival, and releases on Netflix later this year. SYNOPSIS: In Metropia, a gigantic city in an alternate future as seen from 1939, private eye Raymond Gunn (Sam Rockwell) is drawn into a case involving aliens, murder and a multimedia star named Venus Nova (Scarlett Johansson).
