Warner Bros. has premiered a new The Great Gatsby trailer featuring new music from Beyoncé, André 3000, Lana Del Rey and Florence + The Machine to keep you champing at the bit for what is either going to be another Baz Luhrmann gem or a visual extravaganza that falters under the weight of style over substance. Clearly the addition of Jay-Z to the production as executive producer has helped in the music department.
The trailer features a new cover of Amy Winehouse‘s “Back to Black” by Beyoncé and André 3000 and the soundtrack itself will include a new Jay-Z track called “100$ Bill” and will have additional contributions from the likes of will.i.am, Fergie, Q-Tip, Lana Del Rey, Florence + the Machine, Gotye, Jack White and more. I have included the complete track-listing below.

The Great Gatsby will open the 2013 Cannes Film Festival following its May 10 domestic release. The story follows Fitzgerald-like, 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.
