Margot Robbie New Movie Babylon

Seit ihrem denkwürdigen und sehr einprägsamen Durchbruch in Martin Scorseses oscarnominiertem The Wolf of Wall Street vor neun Jahren legte die australische Schauspielerin Margot Robbie einen kometenhaften Aufstieg in Hollywood hin und gilt heute als der Inbegriff von Glamour. Ihren Status als Sexsymbol zementierte Robbie spätestens als Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, ihre Bandbreite zeigte sie in Filmen wie

Inzwischen bestimmt Robbie maßgeblich über viele Filme, in denen sie mitspielt, indem sie sie selbst produziert. Doch während ihr Starstatus unbestritten ist, hatte sie in den letzten Jahren eine ziemliche Pechsträhne an den Kinokassen. Diese begann mit

, der als erster DCU-Film mit einem R-Rating Robbie in ihrer Suicide-Squad-Rolle als Harley Quinn zurückgebracht hat, diesmal mit einem feministischen Anstrich. Die $85 Mio teure Produktion war kein großer Flop, doch mit nur $205 Mio Einspiel weltweit eine herbe Enttäuschung, wobei natürlich die Pandemie den Film nach sechs Wochen aus den Kinos vertrieb.

– ebenfalls mit einem R-Rating – an den Kinokassen böse floppte. Der $185 Mio teure Film spielte weltweit schwache $169 Mio ein – nicht einmal ein Viertel des Ergebnisses des ersten Suicide Squad. Lobeshymnen auf den Film in der Kritik haben leider auch nicht geholfen. Sicherlich hat die zeitgleiche Veröffentlichung des Films bei

Dieses Jahr kam es aber besonders dicke für Robbie, und zwar gleich doppelt. Im Oktober war sie neben Christian Bale und John David Washington in David O. Russells (

) Amsterdam zu sehen. Russells erster Film seit sieben Jahren fiel in der Kritik durch und interessierte trotz eines riesigen Ensembles kaum Kinogänger. Bei einem Budget von $80 Mio, und das ohne Marketingkosten, spielte er weltweit nur $31 Mio ein. Der finanzielle Verlust, den der Film verursacht hat, wird auf rund $97 Mio geschätzt.

) dreistündigem Hollywood-Epos Babylon – Rausch der Ekstase Robbies zweiter überlanger Film mit einem großen Star-Ensemble in US-Kinos und legte vergangenes Wochenende eine vergleichbare Bauchlandung an den Kinokassen hin. In den ersten vier Tagen spielte er in Nordamerika geschätzte $4, 9 Mio ein. Damit hat der Film sogar

Als schwächstes Startwochenende eines breit gestarteten Films in Margot Robbies Karriere unterboten. Auch Robbies Co-Star Brad Pitt hatte außerhalb von Gastrollen noch nie einen so schlechten Start in seiner Karriere.

Trotz fünf Golden-Globe-Nominierungen sind die Kritiken zu dem Film polarisierend und die Mundpropaganda mittelmäßig bis schlecht. Das sind ganz miese Aussichten für die $80-Mio-Produktion, deren Marketingausgaben ebenfalls auf $80 Mio geschätzt werden. Paramount hat schon erste Konsequenzen gezogen und wird die Marketingwelle außerhalb von Nordamerika drosseln, um den Schaden zumindest zu begrenzen. Laut Industrie-Portal

Margot Robbie On

Benötigt Babylon ein weltweites Einspiel von rund $250 Mio, um seine Kosten überhaupt zu decken. Aktuell sieht es nicht danach aus, als würde er sogar ein Drittel davon einspielen. Natürlich ist der Flop des Films nicht Robbies Schuld. Ein ausschweifendes, 188 Minuten langes Epos über Hollywood-Exzesse der zwanziger Jahre ist nicht gerade maßgeschneidert für ein breites Publikum und braucht eigentlich sehr positive Kritiken und großen Oscar-Hype, um Zuschauer in die Kinos zu locken.

(Teaser), der im Juli in die Kinos kommen wird, wieder größeren Erfolg hat. Vielleicht sollte sie auch einfach die Finger von Filmen lassen, die eine Stadt im Titel haben. Als Trostpflaster erhielt sie für Babylon immerhin eine Golden-Globe-Nominierung.

Unten gibt’s schon mal den Trailer zu sehen:— both possess the inherent drive, ambition and undeniable acting talent needed to make it to the big screen. But the chaotic energy and head-spinningly fast pace of the film about Hollywood's 1920s silent movie era lands Robbie in different territory as she portrays Nellie LaRoy, an aspiring actor who scores her big break in silent movies, but later struggles to transition to talkies (movies with sound).

LaRoy's energy is as chaotic as the film itself from the first moment she appears on screen, gatecrashing a wild Hollywood party that's filled with drugs, alcohol, orgies, dancers, snakes and even an elephant. She tells Manny Torres (Diego Calva) — a young Mexican who dreams of working in the film industry — that she's not merely someone who hopes to be a star, but that she already is one. She just needs to land on a movie set to truly shine.

As she dances up a storm free of inhibitions at the mayhem-filled soiree, it doesn't take long for her to capture the attention of the right people in biz, leading to her foray into silent films — a glamorous world in Los Angeles that presents as a stark contrast to her troubled upbringing in New Jersey.

, Robbie says the character of LaRoy was so fun to play, especially given her vivacious nature in what was just such a wildly different time in Hollywood.

She is a very present and immediate kind of character. It's all happening in that second, she's not looking to the future, says the 32-year-old Australian actor.

She's honestly surprised that she's even made it that far in life. I think she thought, 'A girl like me coming from where I came from was never going to make it this far'.

Robbie looked to real-life silent film actor Clara Bow for inspiration in portraying LaRoy. Bow grew up in a volatile family environment in Brooklyn, her father largely absent from home, leaving Bow responsible for looking after her unwell mother.

She was extremely famous at that time but she had a horrible childhood, which was a very good composite foundation and back story for my fictional character Nellie to have, Robbie reflects on researching Bow's back story for

LaRoy wants to excel in her craft but she's also wild-spirited and spontaneous, and flirts with the dangerous side of drugs, partying and gambling, which ultimately leads to her spiralling towards her demise. It's Torres — unquestioningly in love with LaRoy — who is so often left to put out her fires as he also advances his own career as a film studio executive.

She's not looking to tomorrow, which makes her a very destructive person, and poor Manny's often the one picking up the pieces of her rash actions, explains Robbie.

She's honestly surprised that she's even made it that far in life. I think she thought, 'A girl like me coming from where I came from was never going to make it this far'.

Wanted the mayhem, disruption and chaos throughout the three-hour film to reflect a 'pre-code' era where there were no stringent rules or censorship codes for movies.

It was just such a wildly different time, says Robbie, so I've loved getting to go back and explore the people who were very famous and successful back then... but also just performing in this very liberated way because things were yet to be regulated.

In my case, it's a completely fictional character. When I researched, it was hard to find a successful Mexican or Latino character [in the 1920s], he explains. He also notes the only inspirations were people like Rene Cardona, a Cuban immigrant who became the youngest studio executive in town in 1920s Hollywood, and Enrique Vallejo, a Mexican immigrant who began as a cameraman before turning to directing and production supervising.

Starring alongside other notable names such as Brad Pitt, Li Jun Li and Jean Smart, actors Robbie and Calva impeccably immerse themselves into the uncontrolled chaos that

Begs of them, making for viewing that will leave you curious and inspired, but also somewhat relieved when the rollercoaster comes to a close.
