The Oscar-winning director's 2022 blockbuster - which starred Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie and explored the changes in Hollywood when it transitioned from silent movies to talking pictures - received mixed reviews and took just $15 million domestically against an $80 million budget, and the 39-year-old filmmaker is aware that he is unlikely to secure so much money for his next project as a result. Speaking on the 'Talking Pictures' podcast, he said: “Certainly, in financial terms, 'Babylon' didn’t work ...

Damien Chazelle knew that 'Babylon' would "ruffle some feathers". The Oscar-winning director has helmed the 1920s-set comedy-drama movie that stars Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie but claims that he is unconcerned that the flick has divided critics and struggled at the box office. Speaking to Insider, Damien said: "Once the filmmaker finishes the movie, then it sort of becomes the audience's, and that includes the critics, includes everyone. "And everyone's gonna have a different take on the film, and I think they're all legitimate. Then it becomes the world's movie, in a way." The 'La La Land' di...

Margot Robbie says playing Nellie LaRoy in ‘Babylon’ “took everything from” her. The 32-year-old actress admitted the role in Damien Chazelle’s tale of old Hollywood was one of the most demanding in her career because her “tornado” alter ego was so “exhausting” to play. Speaking to HELLO! magazine, she said: “She’s like a tornado and she’s not going to let anyone stand in her way. “I love her so much but she’s so exhausting. She took everything from me, physically and emotionally. “During dance sequences or whatever, months into the shoot, I had to really keep up the energy levels. “I remember...

Brad Pitt could relate to his 'Babylon' character. The 59-year-old actor stars in the 1920s set film as the world-weary silent film star Jack Conrad and Brad shares a similar viewpoint to his alter ego. He told W Magazine: "Sadly enough, that melancholy may be my natural mode of being, some congenital melancholy. "But no, I think there's a weariness that takes over with the character as he moves on. There's a world-weariness that I can certainly relate to a little bit." Brad continued: "At this time, more of us are trying to tear each other down than help each other up. I get a little weary." ...

Margot Robbie channelled a honey badger to tap into the wildness of her ‘Babylon’ character. ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ actress, 32, said the small mammal’s fierce traits matched those of her debauched silent film star character Nellie LaRoy in the film about the sex and drug-crazed Hollywood of the Roaring ’20s. She said on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’: “They have really thick skin. (Nellie) fights anything and anyone.” Margot also told how she used a movement coach and the characteristics of an octopus to help develop the part for ‘Babylon’, which features an orgy scene and amounts of nudity tha...

The ‘Babylon’ actor believes platforms such as Netflix have created more opportunities for new talent to breakthrough, both in front of and behind the camera. He said: “Now, the biggest shift, certainly, is the invention of streamers. “I think it’s an absolute positive. There’s so much more talent getting opportunities to tell stories – directors, actors, editors, writers, so on and so forth. “It just shows that that talent pool was there all along, and only a limited number of people could get a ...
