Damien Chazelle's new film, "Babylon," is set to hit theaters this December. It's a wild tale of the early days of Hollywood as the industry moved from the silent era to talkies. The story follows several characters. One is Manny Torres (Diego Calva), a Hollywood assistant entranced with cinema, and another is Nellie Laroy (Margot Robbie), a cocaine-addled starlet about to break in. And then there's Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), an aging Rudolph Valentino type who is beloved by everyone (except his numerous ex-wives) in the silent film era. He has a string of broken hearts, a noticeable drinking problem, and very few people willing to tell him the truth.
Early on in "Babylon," there is a wild scene where we see a silent film set in the middle of the desert. Several movies are filming simultaneously, and it's absolute chaos. (Noise didn't matter because none of it ended up on film.
