"La La Land" director Damien Chazelle just shuffled audiences back to Los Angeles on Tuesday — but way back to the 1920s.
On the heels of its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival, Paramount Pictures released the first trailer for the highly anticipated "Babylon" — starring Brad Pitt, his "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood" co-star Margot Robbie, Olivia Wilde, Samara Weaving, Tobey Maguire, Jean Smart, Spike Jonze, Chloe Fineman and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
And it appears the studio has little reverence for its own logo, as the trailer opens with Robbie essentially snorting it as cocaine. The sprawling ensemble drama transports audiences back to the Golden Age of Hollywood, a pivotal moment when silent movies were giving way to talkies (a la "The Artist") and the entertainment industry reveled in the throes of hedonism, as evidenced in first-look photos from the production last month.
