“Humans, for the most part, are dull and blundering. But occasionally, you can be remarkably bright creatures,” says the narrator in the teaser trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of Shelby Van Pelt’s Remarkably Bright Creatures.
Readers of the book will know that the narrator is not actually human, but rather a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus. He forms an unlikely bond with the cleaning lady (Sally Field) at the aquarium where he is housed. Now, it has been revealed that Marcellus will be voiced by Alfred Molina in the film. The movie streams on Netflix on May 8.
