Damien Chazelle’s “Babylon” will be released on December 25th. There’s already plenty of anticipation for this film, which is said to be a demented mix of “Fellini’s Satyricon,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and “Singin’ in the Rain.”
We now have an estimate of the budget. “Babylon” cost around $110 million to make. Production on the film began in mid-2020 and wrapped in October 2021. There had been a few short delays due to COVID, otherwise filming was fluid and uninterrupted.
“La La Land” had a budget of $30 million. “Whiplash” cost $3 million. “First Man” was around $60 million.
As we speak, there has been no trailer and poster released for “Babylon.” It is also set to skip the fall fests. The film test-screened to wild praise earlier in the year with a cut clocking in at around 185 minutes.
Adam Driver went on “The Rich Eisen Show” to promote "Paper Tiger" and confirmed that he's playing Otis Wardell, the villain of Michael Mann's "Heat 2."
