The cast is shifting in writer and director Damien Chazelle’s upcoming golden-age of film period drama, Babylon. Emma Stone had been set to reunite with Chazelle after starring in his film La La Land, but we learned she had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict. Margot Robbie is now in talks to join the cast and star in the film alongside her Once Upon a Time in Hollywood co-star, Brad Pitt, as well as the previously cast Tobey Maguire.

Deadline reports, “The film is a period R rated drama, set in the shifting moment in Hollywood when the industry turned from silent film to talkies.” Babylon was picked up by Paramount late last year and was originally set for a Christmas 2021 release. The film hasn’t pushed back the date yet, but we know that release dates and shooting schedules are fluid right now, so we will have to wait and see. The movie is currently in pre-production, and is set to shoot in Los Angeles.

Are you looking forward to Babylon?
