First THE GREAT GATSBY Official Images
First official images from Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby have leaked online. Maybe you expect me to say the well-known trio looks fantastic, but they don’t.
When I say trio, I mean Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire.
As for Joel Edgerton who’s also in a pic, I can hardly recognize him. He doesn’t exist. That’s how attractive they all are.
New THE GREAT GATSBY Set Photos
Some new fresh set photos from Baz Luhrmann‘s The Great Gatsby have surfaced, giving us a look at the three leads in some new costumes.
Leonardo DiCaprio looks great as the Great Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan has new lovely dress but Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway (who in the novel is the narrator) looks much better wearing his suit now. I guess we all remember that cute green sweater.
Sofia Vergara Out Of Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy
I like Sofia Vergara. She’s crazy enough to star in almost every Hollywood comedy, but I would love to see her in some other genre as well.
So, for a minute, her involvement in the upcoming Lee Daniels‘ drama titled The Paperboy sounded like a perfect chance for this lovely lady to show us what she knows.
Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen anymore because we’ve just learned she has just dropped out of the film.
As guys from Deadline explained it, the thing with independent films is that they take forever to come together, and when the start date of the movie got pushed back a week, the schedule conflicted with her day job on Modern Family.
By the way, the third season of this show will be getting underway by then, and of course, that one is her first priority, “so once she was made aware of the change in schedule, she had no choice but to pull.” That’s a shame.
Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan in The Great Gatsby
More The Great Gatsby news, guys! According to the latest reports, Joel Edgerton is the latest addition to Baz Luhrmann‘s upcoming 3D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel of the same name.
That actually means that Edgerton will join the cast that already includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Isla Fisher and Elizabeth Debicki. Not bad at all.
So, Edgerton is now on board to play Tom Buchanan, which is the same role that Ben Affleck was previously rumored for.
McConaughey, Maguire, Vergara, Efron Topline Daniels The Paperboy
In August of the Year 1965, a man named Thurmond Call, who had, even by Moat County standards, killed an inappropriate number of Negroes in the line of duty, was killed himself between the towns of Lately and Thorn, along a county road which runs parallel to and a quarter mile west of the St. Johns River in northern Florida.”
After the critical success of Precious Lee Daniels has been searching for his next project for a long time and it seems that it’s finally taking shape according to above quotation.
Elizabeth Debicki As Jordan Baker In The Great Gatsby
It’s time for The Great Gatsby update! As usual, a casting one!
According to the latest reports, lovely Australian newcomer Elizabeth Debicki will join the cast of Baz Luhrmann‘s upcoming 3D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s novel of the same name. Quite interesting project and an awesome cast is already involved in the whole thing.
I’m sure you remember our previous reports about this one, but, for the beginning of this one, here’s a little description of the novel:
“The mysterious Jay Gatsby embodies the American notion that it is possible to redefine oneself and persuade the world to accept that definition. Gatsby’s youthful neighbor, Nick Carraway, fascinated with the display of enormous wealth in which Gatsby revels, finds himself swept up in the lavish lifestyle of Long Island society during the Jazz Age.”
Malin Akerman Joins Rock of Ages
Malin Akerman is quite busy lady these days, indeed. We already wrote about her involvement in the upcoming Medallion project where she’s set to star next to Nicolas Cage, and today, we’re here to add her name to the upcoming Rock Of Ages musical!
As you know from our previous reports, this project comes from Adam Shankman and already has some great cast on board!
Rock Of Ages is set in the 1980s and filled with rock music from that decade (classic ’80s tunes by Styx, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Poison and Whitesnake).
So far the project stars Tom Cruise as Stacee Jaxx, the arrogant and charming star at the top of his career. Julianne Hough stars as the leading female role, Sherrie, character that Shankman described this way: “she’s the lead, she’s the girl who comes to Los Angeles looking for the dream.”
Mary J. Blige will play character named Justice, while Alec Boldwin is set to star as Dennis. Paul Giamatti was cast as the manager of Stacee Jax and his rock band, Diego Gonzalez Boneta will star as Drew Boley, a guitarist and singer described as the nicest aspiring rocker you’ll find in the Bourbon Room and Catherine Zeta-Jones is on board to play a villain.
Isla Fisher in Negotiations to Join Baz Luhrmann’s 3D The Great Gatsby
Yes, Isla Fisher is indeed in negotiations to play in Baz Luhrmann’s 3D update of The Great Gatsby as Myrtle Wilson, a woman who had an affair with Tom Buchannan and that ultimately ended tragically.
But it seems that this time the mysterious spirit of Jay Gatsby hangs just over the role of Tom – you know, he’s lovely Daisy’s husband, a dilettante who comes from a fabulous family, but whose glory days are behind him – memorably portrayed by Bruce Dern in the1974 famous achievement.
The great Ben Affleck was offered the role, but Affleck, nevertheless, will not be able to accept it because shoot coincides with his Argo directorial project schedule.
Tobey Maguire Joins Ang Lee’s Life of Pi
Casting update! This time, we’re here for Ang Lee’s upcoming adaptation of Booker Prize winning novel by Yann Martel’s, titled Life of Pi. According to the latest reports, Tobey Maguire will star in the movie that is currently shooting in India, where he will star alongside Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Adil Hussain and Gerard Depardieu.
No surprise at all, we already know the pair first worked together on The Ice Storm. So, there’s no doubt they make a good team together.
But, it looks that Maguire is on board for a smaller role this time. Apparently he will play the reporter in a bit role consisting of several days worth of work. Sharma is set to star as a 16-year-old Indian boy, while Khan is playing the adult Pi, who is being interviewed by a Maguire’s character.
