Damien Chazelle Teases Tale of Hollywood Depravity



Damien Chazelle has today unveiled the first official trailer for Babylon, his upcoming Depression-era star-studded drama. The film will receive a limited release on December 25th before going wide on January 6th, 2023.

Set in the late 1920s, Babylon is a Great Gatsby-meets-Once Upon a Time in Hollywood tale of the movie business and its transition from silent films to talkies. It stars Brad Pitt as a movie star named Jack Conrad and Margot Robbie as upstart actress Nellie LaRoy, who was inspired by the original “It Girl” Clara Bow. However, the film’s main protagonist is played by Diego Calva, whose role as a Mexican immigrant named Manny Torres serves as the “audience’s eyes in the world of Babylon.”

The ensemble cast also includes stars Tobey Maguire, Li Jn Li, Jean Smart, Lukas Haas, Katherine Waterston, Max Minghella, Rory Scovel, Flea, Jeff Garlin, Samara Weaving, and Olivia Wilde.

Watch the film’s theatrical trailer, as well as an uncensored version, below.

Chazelle became a household name with his smash 2016 musical La La Land, which made the then-32-year-old filmmaker the youngest ever to win Best Director at the Academy Awards. More recently, he executive produced Netflix’s musical series The Eddy.
