SYNOPSIS
From Damien Chazelle, Babylon 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, it traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.

"Step aside The Great Gatsby, there's a new 1920s film set to redefine the meaning of razzle dazzle in the golden era: Babylon.
The star-studded upcoming film sees Barbie's Margot Robbie as a roaring twenties icon and Brad Pitt in the role of a silent film star - could we ask for more?

Babylon takes inspiration from the extravagant parties of the decade, and is destined to rival the lavish, no-expense-spared scenes of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby but also the drama of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Expect to a see glamorous costumes, next-level make-up and flapper-girl hair, and prepare to become engrossed with aspirational characters, such as Clara Bow (Robbie) who is billed as impossibly confident.

Snippets of the film's script have been revealed, including lines from Pitt's character John Gilbert: 'You know what we have to do… we have to redefine the form.

Continuing to show his passion for the screen, Gilbert adds: 'What happens on the screen means something.'
A more self-assured Bow doesn't doubt her position in showbiz - something she makes clear when insisting: 'You don’t become a star.
'You either are one… or you ain’t.'

What’s Fact and What’s Fiction in Babylon, the Star-Studded New Movie About Early Hollywood
Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie play silent-film actors disrupted by talkies. Was it really all this scandalous?
Babylon tracks the rise and fall of the men and women who transformed the American film industry into the mass-culture Goliath known as “Hollywood,” and the sleepy desert town of Los Angeles into a new kind of sprawling metropolis. Written and directed by Damien Chazelle, the film is shot in gloriously color-saturated CinemaScope, as cinematographer Linus Sandgren and production designer Florencia Martin deliver a visual smörgåsbord that painstakingly recreates the early world of moviemaking. Featuring a proverbial “cast of thousands” (an advertising slogan fittingly dreamed up for the movie Ben-Hur in 1926, about when Babylon opens), the film tracks characters played by stars Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt, stalwarts Jean Smart and Tobey Maguire, relative newcomers Li Jun Li, Diego Calva, and Jovan Adepo, and enough extras to satisfy Cecil B. DeMille.
Critics have already questioned the accuracy of Chazelle’s extravaganza, calling it a hot mess and bad history. But Babylon’s
spectacular presentation is miles better than any other picture before
it on the subject of Hollywood’s birth during the Roaring Twenties and
the industry’s transition from the silents to the talkies after The Jazz Singer’s
success in 1927. Many of the freshest insights from historical research
about Los Angeles’ bohemian roots and the relative prevalence of women
and racial minorities working in the industry made their way onto the
screen. . ." READ MORE
