The Great Gatsby Trailer

Looks amazing. I’m a big fan of the novel – which contains some sublime passages – so was eager to see what Baz Luhrmann would do with it for the big screen. The worst thing he could have done would be to stick out a typical, bland period drama; this manages to capture the essence and aesthetics of a manic period with a suitably post-modern spin. I hope he sticks with the Jay-Z and Kanye West style soundtrack, too – somehow that really works.
