Warner Bros is kicking the ad campaign for The Great Gatsby into high gear, showing off two new clips for the dramatic film hitting theaters on May 10, 2013. Directed by Baz Luhrmann and arriving in 3D (as well as regular 2D for those of us who hate those annoying glasses), The Great Gatsby stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, and Carey Mulligan.
The Plot:
The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway 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, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan.
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.
