‘The Great Gatsby’ starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan – trailer review

25 May 2012 4:44 PM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

The Great Gatsby

Directed by: Baz Luhrmann

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan

Rating: Not Yet Rated

Release Date: December 25, 2012

Trailer Score: 9/10

Thoughts by Tsr: As a fan of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” I think I’m supposed to be up in arms about this. While I was worried that would be the case, I’m thrilled to say I love this trailer. As with most Luhrmann films it’s an excess of style, but what style that is! And really, it fits well with the excess that is Gatsby’s sham of a life. It remains to be seen if there will be any substance, but with seven months until release these gorgeous images are more than enough to win me over.

I generally hate live action 3D, but this looks like it might be a perfect match for the format. That’s especially true »

New Image from The Great Gatsby, Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan

25 May 2012 10:33 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

A new image from director Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby has landed online.  We got our first look at the film by way of a trailer earlier this week, and for better or worse it’s undeniably Luhrmann.  Many were put off by the use of popular music in the trailer, and to that lot I’d like to ask you to re-watch Moulin Rouge! and Romeo + Juliet and tell me what you were expecting from Luhrmann's spin on Gatsby.  The cast is encouraging and the photography looks absolutely phenomenal (I’m actually eager to see the film in 3D).  If nothing else, Luhrmann’s Gatsby promises to be completely unlike any other iteration of the material we’ve seen before or are likely to see in the future.  This new image is a snapshot of a scene between Leonardo DiCaprio’s Gatsby and Carey Mulligan’s Daisy under the conveniently gorgeous moonlight. »

Jennifer Garner Sticks Close to Seraphina as Violet Finishes Up Her First School Year

25 May 2012 9:38 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Jennifer Garner gave 3-year-old Seraphina Affleck a piggyback ride into the Brentwood Mart yesterday. The girls picked up a gift and coffee to go and then headed on their way. Later in the day, Jen spent one-on-one time with her eldest daughter, Violet, after school. Jen's been on a break from acting since giving birth to Samuel earlier this year, though she's making her debut on the Internet in a new short film. Jen stars with Alfred Molina in the Youtube feature Serena. Their 12-minute film documents a complicated relationship between a serial liar, played by Garner, and her priest, Molina. Ben Affleck and Jen have a few more months to enjoy time at home with the family, including baby Samuel, before they return to work this Fall. He's starring in and directing the CIA thriller Argo, due out in October, and Jen shares the big screen with Joel Edgerton »

Beautiful New Image of Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan in The Great Gatsby

25 May 2012 9:04 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

The first trailer and poster landed for Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of the classic The Great Gatsby landed this week, wonderfully setting the tone for one of the year’s most highly-anticipated films.

It’s one of the finest trailers I’ve seen in a long time, so if you haven’t seen it yet, I’d recommend doing so now.

Following on from that great first look at the film, its UK Facebook page has put out a lovely new image of Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan sharing a moment of seclusion.

“From the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann comes the new big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby. The filmmaker will create his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before, in a film starring »

James McAvoy to star in The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby double-feature

24 May 2012 3:03 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

James McAvoy (Atonement, X-Men: First Class) will star opposite Jessica Chastain (The Help, The Tree of Life) in a unique double-feature film project called The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: His and The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Hers.

The love story explores how a married couple in New York City deals with an emotional, life-altering experience. It is shown from the different perspectives of the husband, restaurant owner Conor (McAvoy), and his wife Eleanor (Chastain), who goes back to college. Ned Benson (In Defiance of Gravity) wrote the two scripts and will direct both of the stand-alone films. Back in February, it was announced that Joel Edgerton (Warrior, The Thing) would be playing Conor but he has now dropped out, with McAvoy taking his place.

Myriad Pictures is pre-selling the title in Cannes this week. CEO Kirk D’Amico said: “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby represents an alternate approach to content. »

Ang Lee’s Life of Pi movie, with Suraj Sharma Ang Lee’s 3D movie Life of Pi has been moved from Dec. 21 to Nov. 21, 20th Century Fox has announced.

(Note: Life of Pi was originally scheduled to open on Dec. 14.) By moving Life of Pi to the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Fox is avoiding going neck and neck with the following Dec. 21 openings: Kathryn Bigelow’s Osama bin Laden thriller Zero Dark Thirty, with Chris Pratt, Jessica Chastain, and Joel Edgerton; Christopher McQuarrie’s crime drama One Shot, with Tom Cruise and Rosamund Pike; and another Judd Apatow comedy, This is 40, with Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jason Segel, Melissa McCarthy.

The Great Gatsby Teaser Trailer Delivers The Panache

24 May 2012 7:02 AM, PDT | CineMovie | See recent CineMovie news »

From the flamboyant mind of Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!, Romeo Juliet) comes The Great Gatsby, and from the looks of the new trailer, the writer/producer/director brings his usual grand scale flash to the roaring 20s.

Leonardo DiCaprio reteams with his Romeo Juliet director for a big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, "The Great Gatsby." Shot with 3D cameras, the period piece stars Academy Award® nominee DiCaprio (Blood Diamond, Aviator) as Jay Gatsby, Oscar® nominee Carey Mulligan (An Education) as his mistress, Joel Edgerton (Warrior), Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers), and DiCaprio's real-life buddy Tobey Maguire (Spiderman).

The Great Gatsby centers around Maguire's Nick Carrawy, a would-be writer chasing the American dream in New York City circa 1922. Nick is

Zero Dark Thirty: Kathryn Bigelow, Mark Boal, Given Secret Access By CIA For bin Laden Film

24 May 2012 4:55 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

Apparently Rep. Peter King was on to something when he raised concerns back in January about director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Marl Boal potentially being leaked classified material to make their upcoming Osama bin Laden movie. According to a report from Judicial Watch, Bigelow and Boal were given unprecedented access by the CIA to make "Zero Dark Thirty," a film that tells the story of the hunt for the world's most wanted man. Documents obtained by the foundation through the Freedom of Information Act show that the filmmakers were allowed to meet with -- and learn the identity of -- a "planner, Operator and Commander of Seal Team Six,” the team responsible for the capture and killing of bin Laden. A meeting transcription states that Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael Vickers told Boal and Bigelow, “The only thing we ask is that you not reveal his name in »

Life Of Pi changes release dates

24 May 2012 12:49 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »

The release date of Dec. 21st has moved to Nov. 21st for Ang Lee's Life of Pi, starring Suraj Sharma Twentieth Century Fox has moved the well-received film out of the holiday slot to Thanksgiving weekend, reports Variety. The release date change is due to the film sharing space with three wide openers in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carrie Mulligan and Joel Edgerton, Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained also with DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Kurt Russell and more, as well as Sony's untitled Bin Laden movie. Thanksgiving's still a busy time, and I wouldn't expect the film to top the charts over DreamWorks and Paramount's Rise of the Guardians, nor FilmDistrict's Red Dawn reboot. Another opener during that time is Weinstein Co's The Silver Linings Playbook, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper and Taylor Schilling. »

Trailer: Baz Luhrmann’s ‘The Great Gatsby’

23 May 2012 9:29 PM, PDT | The Moving Arts Journal | See recent The Moving Arts Journal news »

The latest (and flashiest) adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel “The Great Gatsby” comes at the hands of style-obsessed director Baz Luhrmann. If you’re familiar with the Aussie director’s other work, such as “Romeo + Juliet” (1996) and “Moulin Rouge!” (2001), this fast-paced, frenetic interpretation of Fitzgerald’s work should come at no surprise.

Director: Baz Luhrmann

Writer: F. Scott Fitzgerald (novel), Baz Luhrmann and Craig Pearce (Screenplay)

Studio: Warner Bros Pictures

Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Carey Mulligan

Release: December 25, 2012

D'oh! of the Week: 'The Great Gatsby' trailer goof

23 May 2012 3:17 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Like his other films Moulin Rouge, Romeo + Juliet, and Strictly Ballroom, the trailer for Baz Lurhmann’s take on the classic novel The Great Gatsby is crammed with bunches of stuff, from sparkly confetti to fringe-y flapper dresses, extravagant pools to the bright lights of 1920s Times Square. So perhaps it shouldn’t be so shocking that one of those period details isn’t quite right.

Thanks to eagle-eyed Twitter follower @AmyOriss, I was alerted to the fact that the film misspells the famed Ziegfeld Follies

The Great Gatsby Poster

Unlike  just released The Great Gatsby trailer that really captures the atmosphere of the time or atmosphere of the novel, the poster doesn’t really show anything much about the story. Relied on mainly abstract graphic elements rather than the photography, the poster represents the golden vignette of the opening and the ending frame. However, one [...]

Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby Trailer Is Online

23 May 2012 10:48 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

A trailer for another 2013 Oscar hopeful has bowed online with the release of Baz Luhrmann’s 3D (!?) adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel “The Great Gatsby” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton and Isla Fisher.

Have a gander at it below…

One thing is for sure, and it’s something you can always expect from Luhrmann, is that the film looks stylish and the trailer certainly has some glimpses of actors performing in the hopes of securing a few nods. Unfortunately – much like the recent trailer for Gangster Squad – the marketing department at Warner Bros have bunged on some irritatingly anachronistic music. However, the disconcerting aspect of that soundtrack choice is whether or not that is indicative of the musical direction Luhrmann might take with the film, he’s no stranger to intentional anachronism after all!

This film does also mark the reunion of Luhrmann and DiCaprio, »

Everything We Know About 'The Great Gatsby' So Far

23 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Just about every high schooler is practically forced at gunpoint to read F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel "The Great Gatsby," perhaps because no other work both celebrates and condemns the promise of the American Dream with such insight. Now "Moulin Rouge!" director Baz Luhrmann is going to sprinkle his particular brand of pizzazz all over it.

Reuniting with "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet" poster boy Leonardo DiCaprio, Luhrmann is staying true to the story of self-made man Gatsby and his doomed love affair with Daisy Buchanan, while adding contemporary style and music for what's sure to be an intoxicating cocktail of the Prohibition era. Consider this your invite to Gatsby's West Egg soiree.

Release Date: Dec. 25

Movie Math: "Funny People" + literacy - the funny ÷ jazz hands = "The Great Gatsby"

'The Great Gatsby' Trailer & One Sheet

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, »

'Great Gatsby' Trailer: Baz Luhrmann + Kanye West Equals A Fan Girl's Dream Come True

23 May 2012 8:07 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

O! M! G! “The Great Gatsby” trailer is out and the full film can’t come soon enough.

It had me hooked from the moment I heard the pulsing beat of Kanye West and Jay-z’s “No Church In The Wild.” From there, director Baz Luhrmann transferred “Gatsby” fans to a glitzy, yet gritty take on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age masterpiece, which was always the author’s intent.

Decadent party scenes only mask the “hysteria” of the Roaring '20s, fueled by bathtub gin and a sense of liberation that influenced the fashions (shorter hemlines!) and loosey goosey morals (sexy, sexy times all over the place!) of the time.

For the December release, Luhrmann recalls the vibe of his equally modern take on “Romeo & Juliet,” which also starred his muse-like leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio. This time, DiCaprio is another ill-fated anti-hero. He’s the main man, Jay Gatsby, »
