– At CinemaCon, Paramount Pictures announced Damien Chazelle’s next movie would release in 2025;
– Last month, he told the Talking Pictures podcast that he might not be able to get another movie made. “I’ve been head in the sand. I’ve been sort of busy writing. So I’ll get a real taste of how it’s changed or not once I get to finish this script and try to actually get it made,” Chazelle said. “I’m in a sort of trepidatious state of mind, but I have no illusions. I won’t get a budget of Babylonsize any time soon, or at least not on this next one.”;
– Of course, Paramount and Chazelle are locked together by an overall deal he signed with the studio just ahead of Babylon’s release.
