I have very mixed views on remakes not on any been made but the choice of film alot as history has dictated not worthy of a remake either there bad or the original was good enough. Baz Luhrmann’s ambitious remake of The Great Gatsby is one of those I would like to see though the 3D is the only thing that’s putting me off wanting to see this plus the original wasn’t the all round success when it was released back in 1974 with Mia Farrow, Robert Redford, Bruce Dern though it is regarded as a classic in some quarters. Production for the new version is happening as we speak in Australia and despite there been over a year before the film arrives in the cinema Warner Bros have released the first official images for the film.The 2 new image show all the main characters of Leonardo Di Caprio (Jay Gatsbay), Carey Mulligan (Daisy), Tobey MaGuire (Nick Carraway) and Joel Edgerton (Tom Buchanan). We’ve seen small glimpses through images for this film with everything looking fantastic and having studied Graphic Design at University I can see the images from the design perspective and if I was a fashion designer the Great Gatsby looking a fantastic treat for fashion students with the drapper dresses and for production designers with the replicating of authentic sets, what we need now is some footage!
The Great Gatsby 3D doesn’t have a confirmed UK&Irish release date however we’re looking at the start of January 2013 with American release set for Christmas Day 2012. Is it me but do they look like false smiles in image one?

This is by no means the first production of this film from the book ‘The Great Gatsby’ by Scott Fitzgerald (1925). Just to mention a few, in 1926 a version based on the book was performed as a stage play for 112 performances. In 2000, there was a TV version (5.7 imdb rating) and in 1974 a film version with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow, the screenwriter was Francis Ford Coppola with an imdb rating of 6.2. Leonardo DiCaprio is Jay Gatsby a millionaire, he lives a very lavish life and from the outside, from someone looking in, it looks like the type of life you may want, Nick Carraway played by Tobey Maguire (Spider-Man!) is that someone, he is the neighbour to Gatsby. The truth is that as Nick becomes more involved with Gatsby he begins to suspect that his money may have come from ill-gotten gains. Jay Gatsby is in love with Daisy Buchanan played by Carey Mulligan, whom Nick used to date. The story is set during the 1920s in America, when the economy was good but at the same time there was the prohobition law regarding alcohol. It was banned, both the selling and manufacturing of it. This is also a time when many bootleggers (bootlegging is smuggling alcohol) made lots of money and also when we had the American gansters, such as Al Capone, these gansters had control over much of the bootlegging activity.
