If you’re a fan of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, or of Baz Luhrmann, then this news will definitely make your morning! Here we have the first official trailer for Luhrmann’s adaptation of THE GREAT GATSBY.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Jay Gatsby, the elusive party-thrower who befriends Nick Carraway (Toby Maguire). Nick has come to visit his cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), who lives across the bay to Gatsby. As secrets (and lies) are revealed, hearts are broken and money is splashed, Mr Gatsby, Nick, Daisy and her husband Tom (Joel Edgerton) learn that there is much more below the surface – more than any of them could imagine.
Some may love the reading material, while others may hate it, but you can’t deny the spectacular mise-en-scene Luhrmann has managed to achieve in the film. Although not much is given away in the trailer, those who have read the book will know the plot, leaving it as a surprise for those you haven’t. Like me, many people became fans of Luhrmann after seeing his adaptation of ROMEO + JULIET (1996), MOULIN ROUGE! (2001) and AUSTRALIA (2008). His version of THE GREAT GATSBY is going to be just as huge as his past ventures – maybe even bigger!
Check out the trailer and poster below!
THE GREAT GATSBY, directed by Baz Luhrmann, is set for release (in 2D and 3D) from 25th December, 2012.
