Yesterday, Baz Luhrmann‘s 3D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s all-time classic novel, The Great Gatsby, shook the web with the release of the full trailer and poster for the film.
If you ever went to high school, you probably read The Great Gatsby at least once, if for some reason you never did, here is the official synopsis for the film:
The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.
Now I’ll be honest, I was never a fan of the book, but after watching the trailer below, I’m very excited to see the film.
And here is the very Inception-like poster for the film.
The Great Gatsby stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Carey Mulligan, Isla Fisher, Jason Clarke, Elizabeth Debicki and Amitabh Bachchan.
