Warner Bros. has been doling out character posters for Baz Luhrmann‘s The Great Gatsby as of late (see here and here) and now they have released a second trailer, or perhaps we should consider it the first trailer since the film was moved from its Christmas Day 2012 slot to May 10, 2013.
Based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, the story follows would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). 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 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.
Check out the trailer below along with the character poster for Dicaprio’s Gatsby.
