"It shows a side of Hollywood beyond what you could've imagined." Paramount has debuted a wild & crazy new featurette for Damien Chazelle's Babylon, arriving in theaters in December during the holidays. Get ready for some hedonism on an epic scale! Set in Hollywood during the transition from silent films to talkies in the 1920s, Babylon traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood. This one definitely ain't for kids, it's ALL OUT with the debauchery. The extraordinary cast features Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva, Jean Smart, Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, P.J. Byrne, Lukas Haas, Olivia Hamilton, Tobey Maguire, Max Minghella, Rory Scovel, Katherine Waterston, Flea, Jeff Garlin, Eric Roberts, Ethan Suplee, and Samara Weaving. This featurette focuses on the cast discussing their experiences making this and the old Hollywood story within. Will it be any good? I don't know, maybe. Does it look crazy? Absolutely. Does it look entertaining? For sure.
