‘Babylon’ featurette highlights cast from Margot Robbie to Brad Pitt

• Damien Chazelle’s Babylon has the biggest cast in terms of speaking parts.
• Featurette showcases cast in a two-minute short.
• The movie is set in 1920s Los Angeles.

The epic period film ‘Babylon’, directed by Damien Chazelle, tells the story of the ascent and fall of a number of ambitious dreamers during a moment of unrestrained luxury and depravity in 1920s Hollywood.

Given that the movie is about early Hollywood, it makes sense that the director chose well-known actors from the contemporary age for the ensemble casts, including Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, and Tobey Maguire, who, in hindsight, probably don’t require much of an introduction to most people.

The movie unquestionably has the biggest cast, and Paramount Pictures just dropped a brand-new featurette that showcases the lavish cast in a two-minute short.

It’s safe to argue that Chazelle takes pleasure in elevating Hollywood. The director chose to travel back in time and investigate the transition from the silent to talkie era after portraying a golden vision of the film industry in La La Land.

The director discusses how the picture boasts the largest cast in terms of speaking parts while also managing to load the film with extraordinary people in the featurette, which tries to spotlight the cast that brought the Babylon movie to life. Babylon had a lot of characters going, with “700 excess in the background,” as actor Brad Pitt, who played Jack Conrad in the movie, called it, moving in and out of the frame.

Chazelle stated that the ensemble is a statement of its own and that the goal was to startle the viewer. Babylon, which has many well-known actors, is undoubtedly the most ambitious movie the director has ever attempted, according to the director.

Babylon, which was written and directed by the Academy Award-winning director himself, is set in 1920s Los Angeles, when silent movies were beginning to lose popularity. Diego Calva from Narcos: Mexico, Robbie, and Pitt are the stars of the comedy-drama.

Along with other well-known actors, the cast of the movie also includes Phoebe Tonkin (The Vampire Diaries), actress-turned-director Olivia Wilde, Samara Weaving (Ready or Not), Max Minghella (The Handmaid’s Tale), Jean Smart (Mare of Easttown), Li Jun Li (Modern Persuasion), Katherine Waterston (Fantastic Beasts), Lukas Haas (The Ryan White Story), Jovan Adepo

Maguire, Michael Beugg, Wyck Godfrey, Helen Estabrook, and Adam Siegel serve as executive producers alongside Olivia Hamilton, Marc Platt, and Matthew Plouffe on the movie.

“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.”
