Los Angeles: Damien Chazelle is working on his next feature film "Babylon" and the filmmaker wants to reunite with his "La La Land" star Emma Stone for the project.

According to Variety, Chazelle has penned the screenplay and is attached to direct the movie.

Marc Platt, who produced "La La Land", is one of the producers on "Babylon" along with Olivia Hamilton, Matthew Plouffe and Tobey Maguire.

Exact plot details are currently under wraps, but the story is said to be set during the movie industry's transition from silent films to talkies.
