The director of La La Land, Whiplash, and, yes, Babylon lives to direct again
Damien Chazelle was released from “movie jail” this afternoon after serving two years for the crime of directing Babylon . At CinemaCon, Paramount Pictures announced Damien Chazelle ’s next movie would release in 2025. Ironically enough, it’s a movie about prison. Few bombs explode quite like Babylon did in 2022. Maybe it’s because the movie opens with a gaping elephant anus defecating right to the camera.
After two promising Oscar contenders, Whiplash and La La Land, and an offbeat spaceman drama, First Man, it looked like Chazelle would be out of the movie game for a while. Movie jail, where the likes of Francis Ford Coppola and Michael Cimino spent large swaths of their careers, is a typical punishment for having the gall to release a flop, and Chazelle thought he was going to do time or at least get some parole.
