Emma Stone, Oscar-nominated for La La Land, is circling to star. Sources said the film is a bold auteur piece with a significant budget and that other studios are in the mix. Rumor was Chazelle had written another musical, but I’m told that is not the case here. [SOURCE]

Those in the know have described the Babylon script as being a whopping 180 pages long and the project as having a budget in the $80 million to $100 million range.

Details surrounding Babylon are scarce but the story is said to be set during Hollywood’s and the movie industry’s transition from silent films to talkies. The rise and fall of fictional and historical characters figure into the proceedings.

One of the characters featured is Clara Bow, the early sex symbol and box-office star, who was Hollywood’s first “it girl.” Chazelle's La La Land star Emma Stone has been loosely attached to portray the character but no formal deal has been made for her involvement at this stage.

Sign me up for anything by Chazelle. The film history angle just makes it all the better.

Jennifer Lawrence Fan · 07-15-2019, 04:06 PM

Count me in.

Creed · 07-15-2019, 04:10 PM

Chazelle? Check.
Stone? Check.

Leonidas King · 07-15-2019, 04:11 PM

He’s already used Gosling twice for a leading role so it’s Emma’s turn now.

Make it so, captain.

I like Chazelle, but the Hollywood setting kinda has me thinking this is a rebound from the muted award response to First Man. Hoping for the best though, we need a new millennial prestige director.

JustinB13 · 07-15-2019, 05:06 PM

His last three films were near-masterpieces so yeah of course I’m in.

He hasn't made a false move yet. I'm in.

Emma in 1920's flapper garb? Oh HELL yes!

Elgie · 07-15-2019, 06:07 PM

But will it feature JK Simmons as a tyrannical choreographer?

I haven't been interested in his movies after Whiplash

UltraMario9 · 07-15-2019, 07:15 PM

I wonder if this might have similar themes to Under The Silver Lake, but not as coarse of course.

Cremildo · 07-15-2019, 10:06 PM

Brad Pitt might join; likely to be R-rated.
