"The Great Gatsby" follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) 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 (Leonardo DiCaprio) and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). 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.

Beyond the fact that Fitzgerald is my hero and Baz Luhrmann is my guilty pleasure, this looks awesome. Who knew classic literature could be sexy?

Wow, does this look awesome or what? I remember reading the novel in 10th grade and hating it. I was expecting the trailer to be bad, but it looks spectacular. Can't wait to see Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby this Christmas. And why is this in 3D?

SPOILER ALERT. Wait, if you went to high school then you should be spoiled already. That did not come out right.

The most boring read in the history of literature is now being made into a film. Again. Since the first two adaptations were so bad, I would have hoped that would be the end of this...but low and behold. Another Great Gatsby film. Great cast, but it's not enough to save this movie… More
The most boring read in the history of literature is now being made into a film. Again. Since the first two adaptations were so bad, I would have hoped that would be the end of this...but low and behold. Another Great Gatsby film. Great cast, but it's not enough to save this movie from the director of Moulin Rouge. So, any hope of getting a story out of this will be thrown away to showcase just how "artsy-fartsy" Baz Luhrmann thinks he is. Fitting, I guess, considering how pretentious the book is. No thanks.

The two awesome cast members, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire, are relevant together in one movie? I'm definitely interested in seeing this. Considering that it is based on a novel, it better be a good one.
