There are plenty of celebrity doppelgangers in Hollywood you\u2019re probably positive you\u2019ve never seen in the same room before. Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain. Dermot Mulroney and Dylan McDermott<\/a>. And of course, the cadre of blonde-haired, big-eyed women who all kind of look like Margot Robbie<\/strong>. But now we\u2019ll get to see one of Robbie\u2019s doppelgangers show up in the same room as her, with the casting of Samara Weaving<\/strong> in the Damien Chazelle<\/strong>-directed 1920s Hollywood drama\u00a0Babylon<\/em><\/strong>, which already stars Robbie and Brad Pitt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Weaving, Max Minghella, Lukas Haas, Flea (of Red Hot Chili Peppers fame), Rory Scovel, Eric Roberts, P.J. Byrne, and Damon Gupton have joined the now-sprawling cast of\u00a0Babylon<\/em>, Chazelle\u2019s ode to the golden age of Hollywood. The actors join the already- cast Robbie, Pitt,\u00a0Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, and Katherine Waterston.
\nBabylon<\/em> heads into production this month in Los Angeles under Paramount Pictures and will be Chazelle\u2019s much-anticipated follow-up to\u00a0First Man<\/em>. Chazelle writes and directs the period drama, which is set in the late 1920s \u201cduring the movie industry\u2019s transition from silent films to talkies.\u201d Described as \u201cThe<\/em>\u00a0Great Gatsby<\/em>\u00a0on steroids\u201d (which to be fair, we basically already got with Baz Lurhmann\u2019s\u00a0The Great Gatsby<\/em>),\u00a0Babylon<\/em>\u00a0is set to explore \u201cthe rise and fall of multiple characters\u201d both fictional and historical.<\/p>\n

Most of the newcomers\u2019 roles are being kept under wraps, but THR reports that Minghella is playing Irving Thalberg, the famous real-life producer who was MGM\u2019s head of production in the 1920s and 1930s and whom the Oscars\u2019 prestigious Irving G. Thalberg Award is named after. It seems like a fine enough role for\u00a0the Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em> star, who, apart from being able to hold his own against the powerhouse that is Elisabeth Moss in that Hulu series<\/a>, mostly gives solid performances in films like\u00a0Spiral<\/em> and\u00a0The Social<\/a> Network<\/em>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not much to add about this batch of new\u00a0Babylon\u00a0<\/em>cast members apart from the fact that Weaving and Robbie are probably going to cause a lot of confusion by app<\/a>earing in the same movie. If they\u2019re not playing sisters or some kind of relation, it would be ridiculous. But apart from looking a lot like Robbie (which, to be fair, she shares that distinction with like five other people<\/a>), Weaving is a rising talent in her own right, giving a breakout performance in 2019\u2019s fantastic\u00a0Ready or Not<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Olivia Hamilton, Matt Plouffe and Marc Platt are producing Babylon<\/em> while\u00a0Tobey Maguire, Helen Estabrook and Adam Siegel will executive produce. Paramount plans a limited release on December 25, 2022,<\/strong> before going wide January 6, 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
