Shortly after Vanity Fair revealed a detailed look at Babylon, Damien Chazelle‘s spiritual successor to La La Land, a new collection of Babylon images will give you the urge to time travel back to Old Hollywood. If lavish costumes, swinging soirees, and sweaty dance floors are your business, you might want to hold onto your hat because Chazelle’s next epic will give your dance shoes several reasons to cut rugs.
According to the official synopsis for Babylon, the film is “an original epic set in 1920s Los Angeles led by Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, and Diego Calva, with an ensemble cast including Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, and Jean Smart. A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, Babylon traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.”
Damien Chazelle directs and writes Babylon, with Marc Platt, Matthew Plouffe, and Olivia Hamilton producing. Michael Beugg, Tobey Maguire, Wyck Godfrey, Helen Estabrook, and Adam Siegel executive produce.
As you can tell from the new Babylon images, the film’s dance card is full of actors that would have had Old Hollywood wrapped around their fingers. Babylon stars Brad Pitt (Fight Club, Bullet Train), Margot Robbie (The Suicide Squad, The Wolf of Wall Street), Diego Calva (I Promise You Anarchy, Narcos: Mexico), Jovan Adepo (Fences, Overlord), Jean Smart (Hacks, I Heart Huckabees), Li Jun Li (The Exorcist, Evil), P.J. Byrne (Cobra Kai, Shazam: Fury of the Gods), Lukas Haas (Inception, Witness), Olivia Hamilton (La La Land, First Man), Tobey Maguire (Cider House Rules, Spider-Man: No Way Home), Max Minghella (Spiral: From the Book of Saw, The Social Network), Rory Scovel (The House, Those Who Can’t), Katherine Waterston (Inherent Vice, Alien: Covenant), Flea (The Big Lebowski, Baby Driver), Jeff Garlin (The Goldbergs, Curb Your Enthusiasm), Eric Roberts (Runaway Train, The Dark Knight) Ethan Suplee (Remember the Titans, Mallrats), Samara Weaving (Ready or Not, Guns Akimbo), and Olivia Wilde (TRON: Legacy, The Lazarus Effect).
