Today we have some new photos from Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's literary classic The Great Gatsby. The story centers on Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire), a midwestern college graduate who returns home to start his career. Leonardo DiCaprio is Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan is Daisy and the rest of the cast includes Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher and Jason Clarke.
Synopsis:
“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.
The Great Gatsby opens May 10th, 2013 and will open the Cannes Film Festival May 15th, out of competition in the Official Selection.
