“If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?” she asks him.
“I’ve always wanted to be part of something bigger,” Calva replies.
Pitt plays Jack Conrad, who is determined to make Hollywood movies bigger and better.
His style is outrageous as he smashes martinis into the early hours with burlesque dancers and even elephants, but it’s clear his heart is in the craft.
Also in the film, Jean Smart can be seen as a wise industry veteran, as well as Australian actresses Samara Weaving and Phoebe Tonkin.

The film is set in the turbulent 1920s in Hollywood, when talkie films replaced silent films.
It is “a tale of excessive ambition and excessive excess, chronicling the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of rampant decadence and depravity in early Hollywood,” according to Paramount Pictures, which is releasing the project.
The historical play was written and directed by Oscar winner Damien Chazelle, who won the Best Director Oscar for La La Land.

‘I’ve always loved silent movies. I am one of the followers of the idea of pure cinema. The highs of the silent era are some of the highs of cinema, period.’
The film has an eclectic cast that includes Jean Smart, Li Jun Li, Jovan Adepo and Diego Calva and Olivia Wilde. Babylon is the largest number of roles I’ve juggled to date. The casting process took a long time.’
The storyline takes place before the Hays Code was introduced in 1930, which banned profanity, nudity, drug use, sexual “perversion”, interracial relationships and much more on screen. According to the director, the story is inspired by the era and the off-screen antics in Tinseltown.

Chazelle explains: ‘It is a largely fictional film in which almost all the characters are inspired by compositions of real people.
Filmmakers arrived in California in the early 20th century to make their films, and the attitude of the time, according to the director, was ‘a lot wilder west’.
“They build a city and an industry from scratch and you need a certain kind of madman to do that.
“I don’t think it’s surprising that the people who did that used a lot of drugs and party a lot.”
Robbie and Pitt collaborated on the comedy/drama Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with Leonardo Di Caprio. The film garnered a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for Pitt.
