Could be interesting. Certainly has a nice visual aesthetic.

That takes me back to Senior English in high school. I'll catch it when it comes out.

I'll see it. Enjoyed the 70s version. I love 20s fashion and cars from the 20s I like F Scott Fitzgerald's work despite what he called Hemingway. Leonardo DiCaprio movies are generally fun and love the fact he didn't listen to his agent telling him he had to change his last name because it was "too ethnic"


But the choice of music for this trailer was damn terrible.

I don't think the songs are in the movie but are just for the trailer, but I thought Jack White's cover of Love is Blindness was quite appropriate.

Looked good, the music was a bit horrid though. Also, I'm not sure how closely the film will follow the novel, however that's not necessarily bad as long as they keep the plot the same throughout.

I can dig it.

Anything that gets people reading the book though is a good thing in my opinion.

This is definitely on my radar, as it is one of my favorite books. That, and Leo doesn't make to many clunkers.

Kill it, with fire.

Gatsby evil. The author needs to be dug up, beaten with an equally dead fish, and reburied with under 500 metric tons of crappy high school papers that students were forced to write after reading that offal.

Ugh, Frazzled is possessed by the wiener dog deamon again.
But why didn't the trailer show "The Eyes of god"
Would have been great, I actually saw very little of the poor mechanic and his wife.

I hope this doesn't pull a Marie Antoinette and insert pop music into a period piece.

+1000000!!!
That novel study I was forced to choke my way through in grade 13 cost me 3 valuable weeks of my life I'm never getting back!



Now, the novel 'Happiness' by Will Ferguson is a classic!
I still love this book, even though my teacher failed me on it because he didn't like that I was smarter than him. (but then, he accused me of plagurising my work for using big scary words like 'viscous' or 'subduction' in other assignments .)

Ha, I was scanning the thread looking for something like this.

Unlike the rest of the brain dead, college-bound kids in my honors english class, I actually liked this book quote a lot. I liked "this side of paradise" as well. F.Scott is impressive.

hell I even liked the Great Gatsby reminds me of the Street Car Named Desire. Not saying anything but we are looking at a remake of that movie though...
