Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie star in “A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, it traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.” The trailer shows the opulent parties, rollicking jazz, and unbridled hedonism of the Roaring 20s as Pitt and Robbie navigate this dazzling journey through the golden age of Hollywood. The ensemble cast also features Diego Calva, Jovan Adepo, Tobey Maguire, Spike Jonze, Li Jun Li, and more.
Babylon is Damien Chazelle’s first project since 2018’s First Man. In a recent Deadline interview, Chazelle spoke about his desire to go big with Babylon.
“After the quietness of First Man, I wanted to do something boisterous and loud. Babylon was the biggest number of roles I have ever jungled. The casting process took a long, long time. Mostly a fictional film. All the characters are fictional but inspired by composites of real-life people.”
Babylon hits select theaters on December 25 and everywhere on January 6, 2023. You can watch the official trailer in the player above. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!
