The modern tribute to the golden age of musicals features Gosling as a jazz pianist who falls for aspiring actress Emma Stone, but as success mounts, they are faced with decisions that begin to fray the fabric of their love affair.

Chazelle directs his follow-up to his 2015 multi-Oscar-winning debut Whiplash from his own script, also featuring John Legend and WhiplashOscar winner J.K. Simmons.

La La Land will makes its world premiere on Aug. 31 at the Venice Film Festival.
