Ned Benson, the creative force behind Searchlight Pictures’ upcoming romantic film “The Greatest Hits,” has recently joined the ranks of Creative Artists Agency (CAA).

?️ About ‘The Greatest Hits’: Benson’s latest project, “The Greatest Hits,” features a stellar cast including Lucy Boynton, Justin H. Min, David Corenswet, and Austin Crute. The film, which Benson directed from his own screenplay, is a poignant love story that explores the intricate relationship between music and memory, and their power to transcend time and space. Benson also takes on the role of producer for the film, collaborating with Michael London, Stephanie Davis, Shannon Gaulding, and Cassandra Kulukundis. The release date for “The Greatest Hits” is yet to be announced.

?️ Benson’s Directorial Debut: Benson first made a mark in the film industry with his feature directorial debut, “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby.” This ambitious three-part drama starred Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy, along with notable actors such as Viola Davis, Bill Hader, and William Hurt. The film uniquely examines a married couple’s relationship from two different perspectives. Initially presented at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in 2013 as two separate films, subtitled “Him” and “Her,” it was later combined into a single cut, “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them,” which premiered at Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section the following year.
