Unfortunately, Babylon will not serve as a La La Land reunion for Emma Stone and Damien Chazelle, with THR reporting in December 2020 that Stone was dropping out for an undisclosed reason.
While we lose the Stone-Chazelle reunion with this casting, Robbie and Pitt have their own connection as the pair were co-stars in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
However, her potential replacement is none other than Margot Robbie.
Of course, Robbie’s Sharon Tate and Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth never actually met throughout the course of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood; perhaps the two would finally get to share the screen in Chazelle’s story.
