Let’s watch the gorgeous movie trailer of The Great Gatsby, the upcoming 3D period drama movie directed by Baz Luhrmann starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Carey Mulligan, Isla Fisher, Jason Clarke, Elizabeth Debicki and Amitabh Bachchan:

THE GREAT GATSBYPlot:
“The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway 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, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. 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.”

Director Baz Luhrmann is delivering his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before! I love it!

By the way if you’re wondering about the song in this trailer of The Great Gatsby, it’s “Love is Blindness” by U2.
