It’s time to travel back in time to 1920s Hollywood. Film director Damien Chazelle, who presented to us “La La Land” is going to make a big splash with his next feature film. The upcoming American period epic called “Babylon” will explore the Jazz Age of the 1920s when Hollywood transitioned from silent films to talkies. According to “Variety”, “Babylon” is inspired by films like Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita,” Robert Altman’s “Nashville” and “The Godfather”.
Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie are reunited after Tarantino’s “Once upon a time…in Hollywood”. Along with them, the starry cast includes Diego Calva, Tobey Maguire, Max Minghella, Spike Jonze, Jean Smart, Flea, Samara Weaving and Olivia Wilde. “‘Babylon was the biggest cast, the biggest number of roles I’ve ever juggled, by far,” Chazelle said. “The casting process took a long time.”
The movie will open for a limited release on December 25, 2022. The wide release will begin on January 6, 2023. And like Lady Gaga sang: “Battle for your life, Babylon”!
