Damien Chazelle, who directed Whiplash, La La Land, now brings us another side of Hollywood, Babylon.
It’s an original epic set in 1920s Los Angeles led by Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie and Diego Calva, including an ensemble cast: Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li and Jean Smart.
A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.
In this modern-day gritty love story, directed by Justin Corsbie, Hard Luck Song follows Jesse, played by Michael Dorman. The movie inspiration comes from Todd Snider’s seminal Americana hit, “Just Like Old Times.”
Jesse is a charismatic but down on his luck troubadour living out of cheap motels and making bad decisions. Jesse finds himself at an existential crossroads during a chance encounter with Carla, played by Sophia Bush, an old flame, as their complicated past and current troubles threaten to destroy their blissful reunion.
Watch Dermot Mulroney in the trailer. He’s hardly recognizable. The cast also includes RZA, Brian Sacca, Melora Walters and Eric Roberts.
