Michael Becker

Michael Becker, a guy whose name you might’ve seen rolling through film credits, keeps his fingers in all sorts of cinematic pies. Let’s start with Groove Tails, which is supposedly dropping in 2025—yeah, it’s animation, but not the stuffy kind. Think streetwise mice, wild dance-offs, and enough attitude to make you forget you’re watching rodents in sneakers. There’s this underdog vibe where the main mouse (voiced by Jamie Foxx, no less) tries to save his hood by winning a dance battle. It’s like Step Up meets Ratatouille, but with a lot more cheese puns and way less kitchen drama. Now, Worth (2020) is on the opposite end of the spectrum. It’s heavy. You’ve got Michael Keaton playing a lawyer, grinding through the moral muck after 9/11, trying to figure out how you put a dollar value on human life. Seriously, it’s the kind of movie that leaves you quiet for a bit after the credits roll. The script doesn’t pull punches, and it drags you through all the politics and heartbreak. Becker had a hand in pulling that together, and it shows—there’s this raw, real tension woven through every scene. Then there’s Primal (2019), which is basically what happens if you lock Nicolas Cage, a bunch of mercenaries, and a killer white jaguar on a boat together. Chaos, obviously. Becker helped unleash this wild ride, and it’s got that pulpy, B-movie energy where you just sit back and take in the madness. So yeah, Becker’s filmography? All over the map, and honestly, that’s what keeps it interesting.
