The funny and entertaining Babylon premieres in theaters everywhere Dec. 23, and you don't want to miss it! Here's why:
1. It stars the amazing Margot Robbie as Nellie LaRoy, a wild dreamer who'll do pretty much anything to become a star.
2. (And who fights a freaking snake!)
3. It also stars Brad Pitt, who seems to be having quite a lot of fun playing Hollywood legend Jack Conrad.
4. And Diego Calva as Manny Torres, a visionary who's determined to work in the movie business.
5. The cast also includes the wonderful Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, Jean Smart, Samara Weaving, Olivia Wilde, and so many more.
6. And we should probably talk about the elephant in the room. No, not that one. (That's the one Manny Torres has to transport across LA to a Hollywood power broker's party.)
7. No, the real elephant in the room is the intensely unsettling character played by Tobey Maguire. Just look at him. You can't help but ask yourself, "What's this guy's story?"
8. Just like the cast's dedication to fully immersing audiences in the era, the magic of Babylon couldn't have been done without the all-star crew who crafted an authentic, lived-in world. Go team!
9. Writer and director Damien Chazelle (you know, from La La Land and Whiplash), spent 15 years thinking about this movie. He's known for creating immersive, chaotic worlds and characters with strong emotional depth, so you know you'll be in for an amazing ride with this one.
10. It's definitely going to be the fashion film of the year. I mean, have you seen the looks in the trailer? Award-winning costume designer Mary Zophres had many of the outfits made by hand.
11. Babylon is chock-full of over-the-top parties that you'll wish you could be at, including what looks like the wildest bash ever filmed.
12. But beyond the glamorous and opulent Hollywood world, Babylon is a timeless, epic story about people with ambitions navigating a world of depravity and decadence that will pull you in from the very first second.
