Michael Farris Smith has penned a prequel to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby”, which has sold more than 25 million copies since its publication.
Director Baz Luhrmann says he knew all along which actor he’d like to play Jay Gatsby in his reimagining of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, “The Great Gatsby” from Warner Bros. “Really, it wasn’t difficult to think of someone! Hmmm, I don’t know—complex, romantic, dark, glamorous, great actor…”
The pivotal role of Nick Carraway in Baz Luhrmann’s reimagining of “The Great Gatsby” is played by Tobey Maguire, who co-stars with one of his closest friends, Leonardo DiCaprio.
She wowed critics and audiences with terrific performances in “An Education,” “Drive,” “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” and “Shame.” Now, Carey Mulligan adds another strong female character in her repertoire as he plays Daisy Buchanan in Warner Bros.’ heart-stopping romantic drama, “The Great Gatsby.”
From the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann (“Moulin Rouge!,” “William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet”) comes the new big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby.
“The Great Gatsby” writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann and collaborators Shawn “JAY Z” Carter, an executive producer on the film, and Anton Monsted, its executive music supervisor, revealed the lineup for the movie’s soundtrack which encompasses the broad spectrum of musical styles represented in this energetic re-telling of the classic text. The joint announcement was made recently by Warner Bros. Pictures and Universal Music Group’s Interscope Records.
The bus shelter artworks promoting Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Baz Luhrmann’s daring adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic “The Great Gatsby” are now online.
As the opening of “The Great Gatsby” approaches, Warner Bros.’ marketing campaign kicks into high gear with the release of the film’s new trailer and main one-sheet art.
Grammy Award-winning musical artist Shawn “JAY Z” Carter has collaborated with writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann on “The Great Gatsby”—in the capacity of Executive Producer—to bring the modern “Jazz Age” energy of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s original text to the big screen, procuring, performing, producing and arranging for a soundtrack featuring some of the world’s top musical artists.
