All the audition processes that I\u2019ve gone through have been stressful, just because you\u2019re so excited about the role in question \u2014 or at least I am. I stress about it until I get the role or don\u2019t get the role. I want to say it was the end of 2018 or early 2019 that I auditioned for it, and I sent the self-tape. I remember seeing the ticket come through in my email, and as soon as I saw Damien\u2019s name on it, I was like Oh, my god, obsessive, I\u2019m excited. I am a huge fan of his work. I sent a self tape, and actually hadn\u2019t heard from him in like a year. I think this was right when the shutdown \u2014 when the pandemic actually went into play. So everything kindof slowed down.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And I remember after that self-tape \u2014 it was just one tape \u2014 he actually called me, it was the end of 2020 and I was at the grocery store. He called me and said \u201cHey, this is Damien.\u201d I thought, this is cool. \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d He was like, \u201cYeah, I want you to play Sidney if you\u2019re available. I\u2019d love for you to be in this movie.\u201d I was ecstatic. I knew whatever it was going to take for me to get this role perfect, I wanted to do my best for it. Because this cast and the size of the script and the scale of the film itself were something that I really didn\u2019t want to let slip away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Damien wrote a 180-page script. What was your impression from reading that script?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JA: It\u2019s massive. I even think it was more \u2014 it had to have been close to like 200-something pages. It was a beast. But it was like, when you first read it you almost have to sit with it for a minute and then go through it again because, like you said, it\u2019s so ambitious, and it pushes the envelope as far as an artist bringing something from page to screen. You\u2019re anxious and curious to see how they\u2019re going to bring this epic to the screen. But if anyone could do it, it could be Damien Chazelle because he\u2019s done brilliant films before. The way he adapts what he writes down and puts to the screen is something to be marveled over.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: You learned to play the trumpet for this movie. Did you ever play before, and if not, what training did you have to make it so authentic?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JA: Incredibly, incredibly vigorous.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I touched the trumpet briefly in middle school, but it was only \u2014 I want to say it could only have been a month long and then I quit. I was like, I want to focus on sports. But to pick it back up again, I was already familiar with how to play the trumpet, just the basics of holding it and what the valves meant and all of that. But I don\u2019t read sheet music and I can\u2019t play anything really complex, so Damien and Justin [Hurwitz, music director] were really patient with me in developing a system.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Justin was creating the score, essentially, for the film and sending it to my trumpet coach, Dan Fornaro, who\u2019s a brilliant, brilliant musician. They developed a system where they could number each of the musical notes because there\u2019s only three valves on the trumpet. So if you number each of those notes on paper, and then my coach would play it, then I would watch him and commit it to memory, just watching him play these notes, and listening to the music at the same time. I was doing that Monday through Friday, two to three hours a day. I was really going for it for three months. It was intense.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It was intense, but for this type of film you have to, because everybody\u2019s going to know. When it comes to film \u2014 and Damien shared this with me from \u201cWhiplash\u201d \u2014 people are going to know if it looks fraudulent. So you have to put the man-hours in of really making sure you understand the instrument, and you have to learn to play it the best you can, which is what I tried to do.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Damien was also a musician before he became a filmmaker. How comfortable was it for you to rely on his direction, because he knows so much about music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JA: Even if this movie had nothing to do with the music, I would have trusted his direction anyway. Because this Damien that we\u2019re talking about. Every actor that came on to this film believes in Damien\u2019s ability, believes in this movie, believes in the script. You know he\u2019s the type of director that\u2019s incredibly \u2014 he\u2019s hyper-focused. There\u2019s so much going on in this movie, as you know, and for somebody to keep everybody on track and really focus on everybody else\u2019s job and also on his, is somebody to be respected. So whenever he had a suggestion \u2014 he\u2019s very collaborative, he really wants to know your input. But also if there\u2019s something that he really, really feels needs to be a certain way, he\u2019s going to explain it to you. And far as I can remember, he\u2019s usually right, so you learn to trust somebody like that. And as actors, we rely on a director who knows what he needs to do for his story.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-13937\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Javan-Adepo2-1024x420.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Javan-Adepo2-1024x420.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Javan-Adepo2-300x123.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Javan-Adepo2-768x315.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Javan-Adepo2-696x285.jpg 696w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Javan-Adepo2-1068x438.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Javan-Adepo2-1025x420.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Javan-Adepo2.jpg 1362w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Margo Robbie\u2019s character [Nellie LaRoy] is loosely based on the actress Clara Bow. Is your character based on any of the actors or musicians or anybody that Damien asked you to watch?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JA: Yeah, I had to watch all of it, and it was really interesting because I hadn\u2019t spent a lot of time on this era just in my personal life, other than listening to some of the music. I\u2019m a huge fan of the Nat King Coles, the Duke Ellingtons, Cab Calloways. But I had never really ventured into the history of Black artists in Hollywood in the 1920s. So I was really fortunate in that me and Damien spoke about all of these different pioneers of the entertainment industry. I was able to pick and choose certain things about different people.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And it wasn\u2019t even just the era of the 1920s. I was able to pick from contemporary artists as well, like Wynton Marsalis and Robert Green, a jazz pianist. But just the way that they spoke their cadence and voice and their sound, how they even walk. I was able to study everybody, and then try to find things that I could apply within me that I was able to play believably and fully.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Now that you know about what was going on in Hollywood in the 1920s, the Harvey Weinstein cases started in 2017. How much do you think Hollywood itself has changed over the course of years, in your perspective?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JA: I think there\u2019s just more visibility about the industry itself. We\u2019re in the age of information and everything is out there. People can give their feedback, people can talk about diversity, they can talk about inclusion. There are way more conversations being held about how we can make our industry a safer space, a more productive space, and really support the artists fully, and not just by giving the funds to make an interesting film but [also] to protect them, protect their rights and protect the sincerity of filmmaking.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What do you want the audiences to take away from this film?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JA: Of course, they\u2019re going to have a lot of fun watching the film itself. It\u2019s funny, and it\u2019s really fast-paced and there\u2019s a lot going on. But I think that people will \u2014 as Damien does \u2014 really develop a stronger love and appreciation for filmmaking as a whole. The history of it is something to be respected, because if you look at this movie, a lot of these artists were experiencing a shift in the era and they were trying to navigate their livelihoods like, on the fly. There was no outline or people that came before them so they could really learn off of them. They were experiencing the shift into the sound era and trying to continue to help this industry thrive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So I think people will develop a stronger love and respect for the history of film. But also, hopefully it will really push people to start going back to the theater for these experiences. I think we\u2019re in a cool era of streaming and there\u2019s plenty more shows out and opportunities for artists to share their work. But there\u2019s something to be said [for] having the experience of film in a movie theater and sharing it with a bunch of strangers and everybody\u2019s watching the same thing and enjoying the moment live and in person.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/author\/nobuhosokigmail-com\/\">Check out more of Nobuhiro&#8217;s articles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the trailer of the film<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"5muQK7CuFtY\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BABYLON | Official Trailer (2022 Movie) \u2013 Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva, Tobey Maguire\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5muQK7CuFtY?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis : A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, Babylon traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.
