Paramount Pictures has unveiled a brand new Babylon trailer for the star-studded period dramedy starring Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, and Tobey Maguire. The film arrives in theaters on December 23.
The trailer features lots of new footage that gives us more insight into Robbie’s character of a wild actress who is seemingly setting herself up for a harsh downfall as her over-the-top ways get the best of her. It also teases Diego Calva’s ambitious character, as he dreams of making a name for himself in Hollywood.
Check out the official Babylon trailer below:
Babylon is an original epic set in 1920s Los Angeles. The story takes place during the film industry’s major shift from silent film to talkies. “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,” reads the synopsis.
The all-star cast includes Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Olivia Wilde, Tobey Maguire, Spike Jonze, Jean Smart, Samara Weaving, Max Minghella, Katherine Waterston, Flea, Phoebe Tonkin, Rory Scovel, Lukas Haas, Eric Roberts, P.J. Byrne, Damon Gupton, Diego Calva, Jovan Adepo, and Li Jun Li, with Li set as Anna May Wong.
Babylon is written and directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Damien Chazelle (La La Land, First Man). Producers are Olivia Hamilton, Matthew Plouffe, and Marc Platt. It is executive produced by Tobey Maguire, Helen Estabrook, and Adam Siegel.
