t's finally here! The first trailer from Director Baz Luhrmann's upcoming film The Great Gatsby has been released on iTunes Movie Trailers. The film includes an all-star cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey McGuire, and Joel Edgerton. The drama is set for release on December 25, 2012.
The film tells the story of the classic American novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in 1922, the film follows writer Nick Carraway as he trades the Midwest for the vibrant lights of New York City. He is thrust into a world of priviledge, class, and secrets in the middle of a time period where jazz and prohibition ruled the streets.
The trailer opens with an extravagant party of the home of Gatsby, with everyone wondering who he is. Enter Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio), who is painted as a secretive, quiet man. He is introduced to both Nick Carroway (McGuire) and Daisy (Mulligan). What follows is a mesh of colors, flappers, and high society. Filmed in Australia with a budget of $120 million, the trailer definitely reveals an elaborate world of New York City fashion, business, and secrets.
There are many scenes that depict a romantic interaction between Daisy and Gatsby, cut around scenes of car rides, phone calls and of course elaborate parties. There are plenty of flappers, alcohol, and long glances between characters in this trailer, which seems to focus on the relationship of Daisy and Gatsby more than the experience of Carraway.
