They describe Babylon as an original epic set in the 1920s right before Hollywood’s Golden Age. During the euphoric period as Los Angeles was building up to become a bustling metropolis. The industry was transitioning away from silent films and movies were coming to life.
“The basic idea was just to do a big, epic, multicharacter movie, set in these early days of Los Angeles and Hollywood, when both of these things were coming into what we now think of them as,” Chazelle tells Vanity Fair.
The stills showcase a star-studded lineup led by Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, and Diego Calva. Also making appearances are Tobey Maguire, Jean Smart, Olivia Wilde, Li Jun Li, Jovan Adepo, and Katherine Waterston.
“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,” writes the official synopsis.
Babylon premieres exclusively in theaters later this year on December 25. You can scroll through the epic stills in the gallery above, and stay tuned for a trailer to release in the coming weeks.
