Baz Luhrman, director of ‘Moulin Rouge’ and ‘Romeo and Juliet’ has released the full theatrical trailer for his
new 2012 blockbuster ‘The Great Gatsby’.
The Australian
director/producer/movie genius has roped in Leonardo
DiCaprio, Tobey McGuire and Isla
Fisher for the starring roles in his theatrical adaptation of the Scott Fitzgerald classic. True to form, Luhrman has recycled talent he already
knows and loves with DiCaprio in a
lead role.
Originally, the
book was published way back in 1925, but judging by his previous work, Luhrman is sure to put his own spin on
the story. He is also sure to jazz up the plot a little, so lovers of the book
are sure to come across a few surprises.

Judging by the
two-and-a-half-minute trailer, the film will be visually impeccable, with
wondrous special effects, spectacular Gatsby
(DiCaprio) characters, lots of drama and the most over-the-top, beautiful
set and costume design. And has there has not been a filmic adaptation attempt
of the book since 1974, hopes are high that Baz’s will be a success.
The story takes
places in 1922 New York through aspiring writer Nick Carraway’s (McQuire’s) eyes who becomes intrigued by the loud
party life of his neighbour, in Long Island. Mysterious and unusual, Gatsby becomes friends with Carraway, in a bid to help Carraway win the heart of his
ex-girlfriend, again.
Available in
cinemas in both 2D and 3D versions, the film will be released on the 26th
of December this year. ‘The Great
Gatsby’ will propel the viewer into a world of endless cash, heavy
partying, betrayal, passion and death.
