The trailer for the 2012 remake of The Great Gatsby has recently been released. If you haven’t seen it yet, here it is:
The Great Gatsby, originally a romantic drama novel written by the legendary F. Scott Fitzgerald, has already been adapted in cinema quite a few times. We particularly adored the 1974 movie which was pretty fantastic with a young oh-so-dashing Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby, and a willowy Mia Farrow as his object of desire Daisy Buchannan...
The 2012 Great Gatsby, directed by Baz Luhrmann (his previous films include Australia and Moulin Rouge), stars Leo Di Caprio, Toby Maguire, elfin British actress Carey Mulligan (who recently played in Pride & Prejudice) and the model Gemma Ward. Here at Gilda’s Tryst offices, we are very excited and will be counting down the days until we can see the film - which unfortunately won’t be released until Boxing Day! Expectations run high; will it meet the challenge??
For those of you new to the story – F Scott Fitzgerald’s almost perfect little novel is set in early summer 1922 in West Egg, Long Island, where Nick Carraway, a recent Yale graduate who fought in World War I, decides to rent a house for the summer. Neighbouring his place is the mansion of self-made millionaire Gatsby, and across the water is the house of Gatsby’s one-time pre-war girlfriend Daisy – now unhappily married to Tom Buchannan. Nick is lured into the lavish world of his neighbour with its opulence, glamour, loneliness and obsession.
As you may already know we at GT draw a lot creatively from books, music, fashion and film of bygone eras. Our Gatsby collection, with its pearls, lariats and long rope necklaces, captures the essence of 1920s glamour.
Let’s flap back to the roaring 20s and Get that Great Gatsby look.
Here are two of our favourites:
- Our Gatsby Lariat
