For his fourth feature film, Damien Chazelle is taking on the very early days of Hollywood with "Babylon", a time that was filled with excess and decadence. Set in the 1920s, during the transition from silent to sound films, where we follows Manny Torres (newcomer, Diego Calva), a young man trying to break into the movies and lands an opportunity as a film assistant. This leads to him getting involved in the eccentric, carefree lives of Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), a hard-partying, major movie star and Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie), an aspiring actress.
From the looks of the trailer, "Babylon" will be a wildly extravagant, behind-the scenes drama that digs deep into the dark, underbelly of the movie business, an industry that doesn't seem to have changed all that much in a little over one hundred years. There is also an impressive starry ensemble involved that includes Katherine Waterston, Lukas Haas, Eric Roberts, Olivia Wilde, Jean Smart and Tobey Maguire.
"Babylon" is due in US theaters on December 23, 2022
