I think I've seen a movie like this before, it's a very long time though. I don't think I can remember how this movie exactly goes.

You probably saw the Robert Redford version of The Great Gatsby from 1974. It's the most popular.

The Great Gatsby was also a tv movie starring Mira Sorvino & Paul Rudd. Maybe I should netflix that.

Carey Mulligan Says 'No Singing' In 'The Great Gatsby'

One of the hottest upcoming films in Hollywood is Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of "The Great Gatsby," so it's no surprise that leading lady Carey Mulligan was a bit nervous about landing the role.

MTV News caught up with the "Never Let Me Go" star when she was at San Diego Comic-Con promoting her latest flick, "Drive," that costars Ryan Gosling and Bryan Cranston. According to her, waiting to hear back about the audition was quite a stressful experience for her.

"I auditioned for that when I was doing 'Drive,' so [director] Nick [Winding Refn] was there for the whole phone-ringing, agent, 'Ahh!' will I, won't I," Mulligan explained.

There's not much known about the upcoming project. The casting is mostly completed, with Leonardo DiCaprio playing the titular Gatsby and Tobey Maguire playing leading man Nick Carraway, but so far Luhrmann still hasn't decided if he wants to shoot in 3D or not and filming has not yet started.

One thing's for sure, though: there won't be any singing in this Luhrmann flick.

"No singing," Mulligan said emphatically. "As I say, it's been eight months since I got the job, so I've had a lot of time to think about it."

Can I ask you something? Do you read this book in school in America? Because here in Italy we have some books that surely no one would dare to read on her own or just for the heck of it
It would be much better if we did read a book as Gatsby!

Oh thanks for bringing that over Nicky

At least in the U.S. this book I think is being taught in a lot of high school English classes.

You are blessed!
And now, in addition to Romeo + Juliet you will also see The Great Gatsby in the classroom!
And we still have I promessi sposi and La divina commedia

I certainly wouldn't mind a small duet from Leo and Carey but I trust Baz knows what's best

Exactly!!!
See? I now who's Gatsby, but nobody knows who are Renzo & Lucia...
In English they are: The Betrothed by Alessandro Manzoni and The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri


EDIT:
Page and Screen - Must Baz Luhrmann’s forthcoming adaptation of The Great Gatsby be set in the Roaring Twenties? | Flickering Myth Movie Blog

Do you think that Gatsby can be adapted?
