'Who wants to see me fight a f*****g snake?' – Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie's roaring '20s in Babylon

'Babylon': A Stroll Down Memory Lane with Ageless Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie

Ah, September 2022, the month Variety gave us the first taste of Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie's scandalous journey in 'Babylon'. Directed by Damien Chazelle, 'Babylon' brought the Golden Age Hollywood back to life, with our ageless heartthrob Brad Pitt donning the avatar of a silent film star.

The Talkies Transition and Hollywood's Scandalous Saga

In the late 1920s, Hollywood experienced an industry-shaking evolution - the transition from silent films to 'talkies' due to the invention of synchronized sound. The roaring '20s saw a blend of opulent parties, cocaine, topless women, and dancing, with our beloved Pitt and Robbie right at the center of it all. "When I first moved to Hollywood, the stars on all the doors said 'No actors and no dogs allowed'. I changed that," Pitt's character boldly declared in the trailer, embodying the defiance of the era.

Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, and a Fucking Snake

Robbie's character, never one to shy away from attention, also commanded the spotlight in the trailer with a daring proclamation at a pool party: "Listen up all you big dick men... who wants to see me fight a fucking snake?" Amidst the scandalous mayhem, Brad Pitt, drink in hand, roared, "Fuck, yeah!"

Originally, Emma Stone was set to bring Robbie's character to life, but due to scheduling conflicts in late 2020, Robbie replaced the "La La Land" star, delivering an audacious performance that became a cornerstone of the film.

Chasing Oscar Glory with 'Babylon'

'Babylon' marked Chazelle's comeback after his 2018 project 'First Man', featuring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong. While the biopic received positive reviews, it didn't quite resonate with audiences as his Oscar-winning musical "La La Land" did. But with 'Babylon', Chazelle was poised to take another shot at the coveted Oscar, releasing the film smack dab in the middle of the awards season.

Thus, 'Babylon' became a testament to Brad Pitt's ageless charm and Margot Robbie's fearless allure, encapsulating the scandalous saga of Hollywood's Golden Age.
