The highly anticipated adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel stars Leonardo DiCaprio as mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and Tobey Maguire as a Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway who becomes drawn into his captivating world, becoming a witness to obsession and tragedy.

Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan and Joel Edgerton star as Daisy and Tom Buchanan; Isla Fisher and Jason Clarke as Myrtle and George Wilson; and newcomer Elizabeth Debicki as JorDan Baker. Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan will play the role of the shady businessman, Meyer Wolfsheim.

Moulin Rouge! helmer directs the film in 3D from a screenplay co-written with frequent collaborator Craig Pearce.

The film hitting theaters on May 10th, 2013.
