"Babylon" Gets Streaming Release Date

Star-studded Paramount movie "Babylon" is coming to streaming after its January theatrical release.

It will be available on digital from January 31 and on 4K, Blu-ray, DVD, and limited-edition 4K Ultra HD SteelBook on March 21.

The release will include special features like behind-the-scenes footages and deleted scenes. The bonus content will feature the cast and crew discussing inspirations behind the original story, costume design, how it was fundamental to character development, the challenges that went into creating over 7,000 costumes for the movie, sneak peeks into Justin Hurwitz’s musical process, and how the artistry elevated the film, and deleted scenes, along with some extended scenes.

"Babylon" is Damien Chazelle's latest work and marks his return to movies set in Los Angeles after "La La Land", which starred Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.

The musical grossed an outstanding $439 million at the worldwide box office, as well as earning six Oscars, including Best Actress and Best Director at the 89th Academy Awards.

Chazelle became the youngest winner of the directing trophy.

"Babylon" is set in 1920s Hollywood, around the transitional period when movies shifted from silent movies to talkies.

The director previously remarked that he'd been ruminating on the idea for the movie since he first arrived in Los Angeles in 2007.

Chazelle noted that he wanted to pay his tribute to the early years of what would become modern-day Hollywood.

"Babylon" run time is three hours and five minutes and follows a multitude of characters in the early days of Hollywood, largely considered a period of decadence.

The movie brings together a blend of fictional and historical figures, with Tobey Maguire playing Charlie Chaplin and actors portraying Hollywood's first “It” girl Clara Bow, actor Anna May Wong, writer Elinor Glyn, and studio boss Irving Thalberg.

The cast also includes Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Samara Weaving, Jean Smart, Li Jun Li, Jovan Adepo, Katherine Waterston, Flea, Lukas Haas, Rory Scovel, P.J. Byrne, Spike Jonze, Chloe Fineman, Jeff Garlin, Max Minghella, and Olivia Wilde.

"Babylon" is in running for three Oscars, including Best Original Score, Best Costume Design, and Best Production Design, despite its lackluster reception at the box office, currently having earned just over $40 million.
