Babylon Trailer Out
The first trailer of the film was shown at the 47th Toronto Film Festival, during an In Conversation panel with its director Damien, on September 12, 2022. It was released to the public the following day.
Set in the 1920s, during Hollywood’s transition from Silent Films to talkies (Sound Films), the film takes a broad look at the chaos that ensues as actors, directors, and more scramble to adapt to the new environment.
As the trailer indicates, the film is a dive into the wild lives of said creatives and the city and industry they are intertwined with. It is an unbelievably wild interpretation of a Hollywood of yesteryear and an undeniably fun trip.
