''Babylon'' (2022) is an upcoming epic period comedy-drama film directed and written by Creator/DamienChazelle. The film features an [[EnsembleCast ensemble cast]] of Creator/BradPitt, Creator/MargotRobbie, Diego Calva, Creator/JeanSmart, Creator/JovanAdepo and Li Jun Li. Creator/TobeyMaguire serves as one of the executive producers and plays a character in the film.

* BeastlyBloodsports: The first trailer ends with a hyped-up Nellie asking a large group of partiers if they want to "see [her] fight a fucking snake," the snake in question being a rattler. Everyone is a bit apprehensive at this, until Jack yells out an enthusiastic "Fuck yeah!", to which everyone cheers along.

* FightClubbing: The trailers have a couple of quick shots of some sort of underground venue (possibly literally) where two women fight bare-knuckle in a steel cage before a large audience.

* ShowWithinAShow: The first trailer shows some glimpses of filming sets. The first one appears to be medieval themed while the other seems to be a western. The second trailer showcases an argument between Creator/SamaraWeaving’s character and Nellie on a film set.
* WarDrums: Downplayed. In the second trailer, a quick shot of the underground combat venue makes clear that the fighting cage has several men playing taikos right next to it.

''Babylon'' will release worldwide on December 23rd, 2022.

* LogoJoke: In the trailer, the stars in the Paramount logo are snorted off as if they're cocaine.
* PlayingDrunk: The first trailer has a bit where Manny drags Jack from a car and toward (presumably) Jack's mansion. Jack seems to be completely out of it after a night of drug- and drink-fueled partying... until he startles Manny by grabbing him and laughing before sprinting up the front steps.
* RecklessGunUsage: The first trailer shows Jack Conrad shooting a revolver indoors, one-handed, while keeping his eyes covered until the moment he fires.
%%No citation* TheRoaringTwenties: The film's time period is set in the 1920s, during the silent film era and transitioning to the 'talkies'.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: There are two versions of the first trailer: the official uncensored one, which is linked above, and a censored version shown in theaters that cuts back slightly on the risque content:

** James [=McKay’s=] “What the fuck?!” line gets [[CurseCutShort cut out]] and becomes “what the-“ in the censored trailer.

* TheHedonist: Nellie tells Manny that she would like if everyone just partied all the time and that she would spend all her money on fun things, instead of "boring things, like taxes", all while doing coke. She's shown in the trailer to be a very enthusiastic participant of the various wild parties that are the norm in Hollywood.
