The Great Gatsby
Not quite sure what to think of this yet - some cool scenes in the trailer that came out yesterday, but there looks to be a lot of CGI rendering and an emphasis on action over storytelling. Plus it will be in 3D, which seems more unnecessary than usual here.

Pretty cool trailer, a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. I don't really get the need for 3D but what the heck.

Huh - strange U2 cover... EDIT: Seems it's by Jack White!
Carey Mulligan looks like she could be Kim Cattrall's daughter/younger sister

If you loved Moulin Rouge and Strictly Ballroom, there's a good chance you'll enjoy The Great Gatsby - same director.
My general impression is that I'd rather get a beating.

If Kevin Costner isnt the worst actor on the planet, Toby Maquire is.

This sums it up. When I first saw the trailer I was excited, then I saw Toby Macquire. This is one of my favorite books, so I am sure the movie will do no justice. I will go see it though. Originally Posted by commonlaw

It's Baz Luhrman that will ruin that film more than Tobey M. "Moulin Rouge" may be one of the biggest POS films I've ever been conned into spending money to go see. Originally Posted by iamTRuTH

They already made this into a movie in '74 with Robert Redford, I remember watching it in English class after reading the book. I think it was pretty good.

Flop.
Hope it takes down the studio and puts the kiss of death on Luhrmann's career.

The trailer looks nothing like the book I remember reading in HS...

Thought the same about Moulin Rouge! Not gonna happen. The wanna-be-hipsters will be all over this. Originally Posted by boltonoutlaw

Wtf?????
They should've set it in 2005 Hamptons, if they wanted to do something new.
It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.
