“Humans, for the most part, are dull and blundering… But occasionally – you can be remarkably bright creatures.” Netflix has unveiled the first look teaser trailer for an enchanting new film titled Remarkably Bright Creatures, which is indeed adapted from the the book of the same name by Shelby Van Pelt. Set for a streaming release in May in just a few months from now. Through unlikely bonds formed during night shifts at a local aquarium, Tova, an elderly widow, learns of a life-changing discovery that may bring her joy and wonder once again. “Readers of the book will know that the narrator is not actually human, but rather a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus who forms an unlikely bond with the cleaning lady at the aquarium where he is housed.” Netflix has announced that Alfred Molina is the voice of Marcellus the octopus as heard in this teaser. Remarkably Bright Creatures also stars Sally Field as Tova, Lewis Pullman, Colm Meaney, Joan Chen, Kathy Baker, Beth Grant, and Sofia Black D’Elia. Of course this reminds me of the documentary film My Octopus Teacer about an actual cephalopod friendship. I really want to watch this.
Here’s the first teaser trailer for Olivia Newman’s film Remarkably Bright Creatures, from YouTube:


A widow named Tova (Sally Field) who works at a local aquarium finds joy again when she forms an unlikely bond with a Giant Pacific Octopus named Marcellus (voiced by Alfred Molina) and a wayward young man who comes to town in search of family. Together, they will uncover a mystery that will lead them to a life-changing discovery & restore their sense of wonder. From the best-selling book. Remarkably Bright Creatures is directed by American filmmaker Olivia Newman, director of the films First Match and Where the Crawdads Sing previously, plus episodes of “Chicago Fire”, “FBI”, and “The Last Thing He Told Me” most recently. The screenplay is written by Olivia Newman and John Whittington. Adapted from the book of the same name written by Shelby Van Pelt. Produced by Bryan Unkeless, Peter Craig, David Levine. This hasn’t premiered at festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. Netflix debuts Newman’s Remarkably Bright Creatures film streaming on Netflix directly starting May 8th, 2026 coming soon. Look any good?
