(The Great Catsby, obvi)
When I first heard Baz Luhrmann would be making a film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, my first thought was, “BUT WILL IT BE DARK AND/OR GRITTY? CAN IT BE UPDATED FOR CONTEMPORARY AUDIENCES? AND WHAT OF ADDING VAMPIRES?” Looks like I might not be disappointed…
Praising the 3D format, director Baz Luhrmann told The Hollywood Reporter that he has workshopped his upcoming project The Great Gatsby in 3D, though he has not made a call about whether to shoot in the format.
I imagine the final call will depend on whether Luhrmann thinks the bulky 3D camera rig will be maneuverable enough for all the car chases and wire work.

I can’t wait for the scene where Nick defends Daisy from the Zombie Robot Army.
Visually, at least, Luhrmann is a good choice for this. Australia may have been cheesy and way too long, but it was really pretty (and I’m not just saying that because of the gratuitous shirtless Hugh Jackman shots.) And maybe working with someone else’s script will reign him in a little.
But if he films this in 3D, forget it.
Aw, hell, that was too serious.

Rep. Giffords thinks this movie needs to be in 3D like she needs another hole in her head.
WOW! You can practically see inside they bathtub they are bootleggin’ hooch out of!
*dismissive wank with gauntleted hand*
I honestly suspect Luhrmann thought this is what they meant when he was told his previous films lacked depth.
Brash Hollywood Executive behind his desk with unread copy of Great Gatsby sitting underneath a half drunk oversized Red Bull can: “First off the title needs to go, it should be called the Totally Awesome Gatsby. And second…” (loses train of thought and stares out window for a couple seconds then comes back to) “Where was I? Oh ya, where’s the fucking sushi I ordered???”
Australia was that Crocodile Dundee reboot Baz did a few years back, ya?
EXTREME GATSBY PARKOUR!!

The Totally Awesome Gatsby: Get Your Aristocracy On
Patty, that’s a solid point, but you forget that Lost sucks.
“The Grate Gats-pee” is what Ted Williams calls it when he pisses down a sewer drain.
I did a term paper on “The Great Gatsby” in high school . . . it sucked then and I’m guessing it still sucks today.
Now, if “The Great Catbsy” was really maybe happening . . . nah, still not interested.
Change the plot to “saving the rec center” and I’m sold!
I’ll go see this if it is in 3-D, but only if it is also in black & white.
Tits, that would be the new Channing Tatum project, The Gr8 Gats, B.
I haven’t been this excited to see flappers since my local 24 hour Home Depot had the parts to fix my toilet at 3am.
Michael Jai White is Jay Gatsby
With Megan Fox as Daisy
