The director of Babylon shot a two-hour version of the film, but with a catch.
With most highly anticipated films, audiences wonder if there are extended director's cuts with more footage that didn't land in theaters, but in the case of Damien Chazelle's Babylon, the filmmaker revealed he actually made a shorter version of the story. The twist, though, is that this two-hour cut of the story was merely an iPhone recording of star Diego Calva and Chazelle's wife Olivia Hamilton rehearsing the entire story in the filmmaker's backyard.
"We rehearsed the whole movie in his backyard, only Olivia, Damien, and I," Calva continued."It was a very uncommon kind of situation." The film also stars P.J. Byrne, Lukas Haas, Olivia Hamilton, Tobey Maguire, Max Minghella, Rory Scovel, Katherine Waterston, Flea, Jeff Garlin, Eric Roberts, Ethan Suplee, Samara Weaving, and Olivia Wilde.
