Warner Bros Pictures has unveiled the new trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby featuring some of the film’s soundtrack music by Beyonce, Lana Del Rey, and Florence + The Machine. Directed by Baz Luhrmann, The Great Gatsby (in 3D) stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton, Carey Mulligan, and Tobey Maguire and will open in theaters on May 10, 2013.
The Plot:
The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio), and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Mulligan), and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Edgerton).
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 of 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.
