First Official Images From ‘The Great Gatsby’ – Starring Of Leonardo DiCaprio & Tobey Maguire
Dec 13th
Warner Bros has debuted these two official images from Baz Luhrmann’s ‘The Great Gatsby,’ providing us with our first official look at Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, and Joel Edgerton looking dapper in their 20′s inspired fashion outfits. Scheduled for a December 25th 2012 release, Luhrmann (“Moulin Rouge!”) directs the film in 3D from a screenplay co-written with frequent collaborator Craig Pearce, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel of the same name.
‘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.

Joel Edgerton Joins Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire & Carey Mulligan In Baz Luhrmann’s ‘The Great Gatsby’
May 18th
Deadline bring word that Joel Edgerton has joined Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Isla Fisher and Carey Mulligan in Baz Luhrmann’s stalled adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel ‘The Great Gatsby’ as Tom Buchanan. Ben Affleck had been previously linked to the role but had to turn it down due to his work on the Tehran hostage thriller ‘Argo.’
Tom Buchanan is the husband of Daisy Buchanan (Mulligan). Fisher plays Myrtle, a married woman having an affair with Buchanan. In the other lead roles DiCaprio is set to play Jay Gatsby, while Maguire is pencilled in to play Nick Carraway, the novel’s narrator and best friend to Gatbsy. ‘The Great Gatsby’ is set to start shooting in Australia in August. Talking about this casting appointment Baz Luhrmann had to say the following:
“In casting Tom one had to find an actor who could credibly be (as Fitzgerald describes him) ‘one of the most powerful ends that ever played football at New Haven,’ had five-star acting chops and in the big dramatic showdown scenes between Gatsby and Tom, hold the screen against Leonardo DiCaprio, in the appropriate age group. Any wonder, it has been a long and thorough journey. The simple truth is that Joel came into our rehearsal space in New York and fulfilled all of the above criteria, and then some.”

Check out the books synopsis below. Update: Deadline report that due to Ben Affleck’s schedule with the Tehran hostage thriller ‘Argo,’ he won’t be in ‘The Great Gatsby.’
The exemplary novel of the Jazz Age, F. Scott Fitzgeralds’ third book, The Great Gatsby (1925), stands as the supreme achievement of his career. T. S. Eliot read it three times and saw it as the “first step” American fiction had taken since Henry James; H. L. Mencken praised “the charm and beauty of the writing,” as well as Fitzgerald’s sharp social sense; and Thomas Wolfe hailed it as Fitzgerald’s “best work” thus far. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when, The New York Times remarked, “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession,” it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s that resonates with the power of myth. A novel of lyrical beauty yet brutal realism, of magic, romance, and mysticism, The Great Gatsby is one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature.
