[wenis]

Not at all what I expected, but not really vibin' with it.

[ViewtifulJC]

Looks like a Luhrman movie. Not feeling it too much.

Came in here to say these exact words, with the exact proper spacing and punctuation at the end of the statements.

[Good Job Bob]

Novel deserves better than this.

[TheKaeptain]

Does anyone else think Tobey looks silly in some of those shots?

When does Toby ever not look silly?

[RustyNails]

Amitabh Bachchan is in this damn

[iNvid02]

argh I'm addicted to love is blindness now

[Goldrush]

It'll probably be a visual feast, though I never really care for DiCaprio. He always seems distractedly unnatural in all the roles he played.

[ThedasSin]

Yay, can't wait!

[MooseKnuckles]

Novel deserves better than this.

Pretty much this.

It didn't look as bad as I was expecting it to, but the tone felt really off.

[TheKaeptain]

When does Toby ever not look silly?

He has like no swag...

[K.Sabot]

How... overindulgent.

Reminds me of the motion picture Watchmen, 0 subtlety.

[Tawpgun]

Visually, it looks amazing.

[ivysaur12]

I mean, I guess I understand how the visual style is supposed to be representative of the overindulgence of the 20s, but it's too far. I'll still see it, maybe rent it.

[Dany M]

Watching it again I like it, visuals whatever it seems like it will be a great adaption of the book.

[KingKong]

laughed out loud at Toby's goofy stare

[James Woods]

I like Tobey but he needs to fire his fucking agent or stop picking roles himself. Anyone see The Good German? Jesus.

[goober]

DiCaprio looks younger.

Also, completely forgot the plot of the novel, fuck

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Looks awful. Toby Maguire is an awful actor.

[Blablurn]

i remember that i read the book and saw the first movie in high school. but i totally forgot what this movie is about.

[TheKaeptain]

laughed out loud at Toby's goofy stare

this part killed me.

[Ohwiseone]

I love the book, this movie adaption looks interesting, I always loved the directors style, (loved Moulin Rouge).

Some of it looks interesting some scenes make me excited (shirts and the brief shot in the garage).

Other parts of it not so much.

Man, December is going to be freakin packed. The hobbit, Les miserables, cloud atlas, this.

I'll get to it, but my December is already planned.

Don't forget LINCOLN! Also Cloud Atlas may have been pushed, we're still waiting on confirmation I believe.

[beelzebozo]

this can't be the real movie they're making.

[Ohwiseone]

Don't forget LINCOLN! Also Cloud Atlas may have been pushed, we're still waiting on confirmation I believe.

Holy shit, I forgot about Lincoln. I think I'm more excited for that over les miserables (and I am fucking hyped on that).

I wondered, assumed it had another year of post.

[IamMattFox]

Hope Django Unchained trailer is coming soon.

So Leo's gonna have two movies opening on Christmas. I know which one I'm going to be seeing.

[strafer]

Clean shaven Leo is the best Leo.

[Scullibundo]

When he started laughing and throwing his shirts off the balcony all I could think of was 'Merry Christmas Carl!'

[maomaoIYP]

Did someone say Mulligan? Day 1.

[Grinchy]

I got about 20 seconds into the trailer before closing it. Not because I didn't like it, but because I could already tell I will have to see it. I haven't been let down by a Leo Dicaprio movie yet, and I don't care if this is the first time, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

I agree with those saying there's probably no reason for this to be in 3D. But...hell, I'll be seeing it that way since the option is there.

[Speevy]

How on earth do you not burst into hysterical laughter when you've cast Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire walks in the room?

I guess you have to be Baz Luhrman.

[robertsan21]

wow, this looks like an ass!

Not feeling it and oh how I just hate these damn "love" movies this loser comes out with every damn time he makes a film.

[TheOddOne]

Holy shit that is Amitabh Bachchan!



Anybody who is Indian or has interst in Indian cinema knows this guy. Finest actor ever.

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

The reports on the 3D footage say that it looks incredible, huge depth and it brings a lot to the movie's directing.

[HP_Wuvcraft]

You know.
I think it looks good.

[Chichikov]

I really hate Baz Luhrmann.

(though I did like Strictly Ballroom when it first came out, I don't think I've seen it since).

p.s.
is it too much to ask to not have auto tune in the Great Gatsby?

[Scullibundo]

I like Romeo and Juliet.

I once had to transcribe an interview with Luhrman from when Moulin Rouge had just released and the guy has his head so far up his own goddamn ass I can't help but be turned off by him.

I will still be there for this film day one, but I really do dislike Baz himself.

[Mgoblue201]

I think this has already been perfected

As much as I love Apocalypse Now (which, by the way, perfectly adapted the themes of civilization and colonialism in a way that Conrad himself never could have foreseen), I think that I would welcome a "proper" adaptation of HoD that actually stuck to the original African setting. However, I did a quick search on this film adaptation, and it isn't at all what I expected. The concept of the film (as well as the "talent" behind it) sounds incredibly disappointing.

Anyway, I would guess that The Great Gatsby 3D is more appealing to someone like myself who hasn't actually read the book since high school. I don't recall enough of the book to judge whether this is at all a faithful adaptation of Fitzgerald's themes.

[Washed_Out]

Not familiar with the novel at all. I'm really digging the style though. Seems like this might be this years Hugo.

[Lionel Mandrake]

As someone who does not like Luhrmann and has been pretty pessimistic from the beginning about the whole thing, I didn't hate that trailer.

It's weird, seeing such a low-key story portrayed with such an explosive stylization, but it at least seems interesting.

[MidnightCowboy]

Awful. The source material just doesn't mesh with the style. I can't believe they used a song from Watch the Throne. Really?

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

argh I'm addicted to love is blindness now

Ha, same. Great song.

Amitabh Bachchan is in this damn

Holy shit that is Amitabh Bachchan! Anybody who is Indian or has interst in Indian cinema knows this guy. Finest actor ever.

Hell yeah. My sister told me that he was in the movie, that was pretty surprising.

[Draconian]

I don't think Tobey Maguire is right for that part at all.

[WonkersTHEWatilla]

This looks like a shiny turd, scored to a Jay-Z track as it plops into the toilet.

[Belfast]

The book has some great ideas and characterization, but it's a bit of a chore to actually read. I actually think Baz's version might go a long way towards making it palatable. And hell, I love a good spectacle.

Also, it's been awhile since I've read it, but going so over-the-top almost seems appropriate. If I recall correctly, one of the book's themes was very much the juxtaposition between the parties and excess and Gatsby's sort of inner darkness/loneliness, wasn't it?

[aDDiKt24]

Love Baz Lurhmann so count me in Day 1 for this. I really enjoyed the book too (Suprisingly)

[Speedymanic]

Looks awful. Toby Maguire is an awful actor.

How dare you!

He was great in Ride with the Devil, Cider House Rules and....

[GrizzNKev]

The movie itself looks fine, it's the music choice in the trailer that's really putting me off. Totally inappropriate for the tone of the story.

[Zulithe]

Looks great, but this coming from a guy who liked Australia (as well as MR! and R+J)

[Haly]

It has been a few years since I read The Great Gatbsy but I don't remember when it was ever like... this.
