The latest example comes in the form of the trailer for Babylon. The film is a period drama about 1920s Hollywood that is also headlined by Margot Robbie. This is the second co-starring role for Pitt and Robbie. They worked together in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood back in 2019.
But the characters played by Pitt and Robbie never crossed paths in that film. In Babylon, they are the stars of the show, together, as you can see in the trailer. The movie is based on the transition of Hollywood from silent films to the era of “talkies.”
It’s directed by Damien Chazelle and along with Pitt and Robbie, stars Diego Calva, Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, Jean Smart and Tobey Maguire.
