The 1920s in Hollywood are wildly on display in Damien Chazelle‘s 3-hour epic, Babylon.
Drugs, movies, and decadence are shown throughout the trailer but as far as a narrative goes, it isn’t entirely clear. From what we can ascertain it’s going to be a loud and large-screen comedy that doesn’t hold back. With Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Tobey Maguire (and many, many more), and tinsel town in outrageous fashion, this is likely to be quite the experience.
Three hours is a lot of debauchery for the screen, but can the ensemble cast and the talent of Chazelle make it compelling? We shall see.
Babylon is written and directed by Damien Chazelle and stars Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Tobey Maguire, Manny Torres, and Jean Smart. It will be released in the US on December 23rd. For international release dates click here.
