F. Scott said:?Who wants to go to town?? demanded Daisy insistently.
Gatsby?s eyes floated toward her.
?Ah,? she cried, ?you look so cool?You always look so cool,? she repeated.

F. Scott's best known work has been filmed approximately eight times stretching all the way back to 1926(!). Of those, the 1974 version with a young Robert Redford stands out as the most well-known. Now, Baz Luhrmann brings his genre-bending sensibilities to this classic work! Yes, the man who brought you Australia! and the world's most expensive commercial ever sets his sight on the Roaring Twenties!
Originally planned for release Christmas 2012, the film has been pushed back to May of 2013 because Warner Bros. thinks it'll play "better" in the summer. By better, the kids'll go see it 'cause it features not only Jack White on the soundtrack, but Kanye West & Jay-Z (two of the most overrated people ever!).
From Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. President of Domestic Distribution.
Based on what we?ve seen, Baz Luhrmann?s incredible work is all we anticipated and so much more. It truly brings Fitzgerald?s American classic to life in a completely immersive, visually stunning and exciting way. We think moviegoers of all ages are going to embrace it, and it makes sense to ensure this unique film reaches the largest audience possible.?
Kwan Vandenberg confirmed, ?Baz is known for being innovative, but with this film he has done something completely unexpected?making it in 3D?while capturing the emotion, the intimacy, the power and the spectacle of the time. The responses we?ve had to some of the early sneak peeks have been phenomenal, and we think ?The Great Gatsby? will be the perfect summer movie around the world.
Hooray for completely unnecessary 3D.
Still, this second trailer is 'effin awesome.

I'm skeptical though. For the addition of 3D, the soundtrack, and the dear ol' Baz seems to have lost a step from Strictly Ballroom and Moulin Rouge. Fingers crossed as always.
While we're waiting, Warner Bros. has released the de rigeur character posters.
Dig those awesome clothes.
