Paramount Pictures’ new two minute trailer for Babylon edges viewers just a little closer to being able to understand what Oscar-winning writer/director Damien Chazelle’s (La La Land) star-studded film’s all about. Don’t feel bad if you’re still in the dark after watching the trailer, and don’t look to the short synopsis to help you out.
The studio offers this tease: “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.”
The cast also includes P.J. Byrne, Lukas Haas, Olivia Hamilton, Tobey Maguire, Max Minghella, and Rory Scovel. Additional stars include Katherine Waterston, Flea, Jeff Garlin, Eric Roberts, Ethan Suplee, Samara Weaving, and Olivia Wilde.
Marc Platt, Matthew Plouffe, and Olivia Hamilton produced, with Michael Beugg, Tobey Maguire, Wyck Godfrey, Helen Estabrook, and Adam Siegel executive producing.
The official trailer arrived along with a new colorful poster promoting the December 23, 2022 theatrical release.
