The Great Gatsby Reviews, Interviews & More

There are two things to talk about this weekend. One is that Fast and Furious 6 killed it on the big screen. The other is that The Hangover Part III (profitably) ate dirt. It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.

Star Trek Into Darkness opened Thursday, and there was hope that the film would smash past the $100 Million dollar mark over its four day opening. That it didn't, that its three day number was less than the Friday through Sunday opening of the original, and that -- if you factor in that the new film is in 3D and Imax and the first film was not -- it sold less tickets...

Currently, people are predicting a hundred million dollar weekend for Star Trek Into Darkness, a number that may be made possible by the fact that the studio opened the film on Wednesday night. The film pocketed $3.3 Million from those shows, and has a full day today to rake in extra cash so it can say that it crossed the nine digit mark by Sunday.

Though Iron Man 3 still ruled the weekend, The Great Gatsby exceeded all expectations and made over $50 Million this weekend. The obvious joke would be to suggest that a lot of book reports must be due for the end of the school year. Yeah, that's the obvious joke.

The latest adaptation of The Great Gatsby retains most of the story generations have fallen in love with. Unfortunately, Baz Luhrmann's gaudy style and fast cuts are too distracting. There's still some magic from the F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel there, but the director can't decide between being over-the-top or toned down.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been considered one of the big A-List stars for around twenty years now. He went from blue eyed teen heartthrob to serious actor who surprisingly has yet to win his own Oscar. His latest is the Baz Luhrmann movie interpretation of The Great Gatsby. DiCaprio has proven himself to be a fine actor who deserves all the praise he's received over the years, but he...

The second week of May has been a place where Warner Brothers has released their fumbles. The second weekend of May has launched Dark Shadows, Speed Racer, and Poseidon, though they did have some luck with 2004's Troy. Other studios have had more luck with the date (2009's Star...

Bradley Cooper is a very busy man. He's set to star in David O. Russell's next project, and has also been cast in Cameron Crowe's upcoming (and still untitled) film. But that's not stopping him from saving Jane Got A Gun. The western project has gone through a lot of changes this past month; Jude Law was the latest to quit the project. But word is Cooper is stepping to save the day....

Another day, another look at Baz Luhrman’s reinterpretation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby as a 3D, CGI-heavy pop explosion featuring the music of Beyonce, Andre 3000, and Lana Del Rey (hey, just like in the 1925 novel!).  The newest trailer focuses heavily on the rage of Tom Buchanan (Joel...

If you're familiar with the particularly loud style that all of filmmaker Baz Luhrmann's movies are well known for, then you should expect nothing less from The Great Gatsby when it's released a little over a month from now. The visually eye-popping movie rendition of the famous novel is inching closer towards its release date, which means we were overdue for some...

We're starting to see a heavy trickle of promotional material for all the big summer event films, with Iron Man 3 and The Wolverine currently leading the charge. But there are other movies coming out this summer, and not all of them are aimed at comic book fans. Such as The Great Gatsby, which is...

Baz Luhrmann is probably one of the best directors you could ever put in charge for a movie like The Great Gatsby. We're dealing with a literary classic that's been translated into every other entertainment medium ever since the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel was published to the masses. To have such an over-the-top visual director such as Luhrmann behind the...

There is something of a science to release dates. On top of knowing that there are certain times of the year when a big movie will do better or worse than other times, studios often pick dates because of past experiences.  For instance, Zack Snyder wants all of his pictures released on the same weekend for luck. Now we've got dates for Sacha Gervasi's Hithcock, and...

There's been a lot of high profile schedule changes lately, as we've seen many of the biggest and most expensive films from 2012 get moved to 2013. Man of Steel, The Great Gatsby, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Jack the Giant Killer, Gangster Squad, Gravity,...

Warner Brothers, no stranger to bumping pictures around this year, has moved The Great Gatsby from December 2012 to Summer of 2013. There's no date set, but for those hoping to see two Leonardo DiCaprio films open on Christmas, you've been denied.

When you think of the Great American Novel set in the roaring 1920s, you think of 3D films with an Auto-Tuned soundtrack, right?  Well, if so, you’ll dig the trailer for Baz Luhrman’s over the top take on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.  If not, well… you may wish to look away for the next two minutes and 30 seconds.

As we bid farewell to 2011, it's time for us to look ahead and get excited about the movies that 2012 will bring. The Golden Globes and Oscars haven't named their favorites yet, but we're not waiting around for that. We are excited about the future. There are some great movies to look forward to in 2012 – sequels, re-releases, film adaptations, and even a Pixar movie. Distinguished directors...

Despite the fact that it’s taking a classic piece of American literature and turning it into a 3-D film, Baz Luhrmann’s film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby might not be quite as horrible as we first thought.  Of course, I’m basing this opinion simply on a few photos that have leaked out from the set, but, that said,...

Well, it looks like the star-studded cast of Baz Luhrman’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby might just get a little bigger—in addition to nabbing Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Tobey Macguire as narrator Nick Carraway, and Carrie Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, Luhrman just might be able to add Ben Affleck to the cast as Tom Buchanan, Daisy’s husband, if Affleck’s schedule can...

In order for you to fully understand a film about love, loss, and conflict you really need to watch it in 3D. We don't honestly believe that but it may be the case when it comes to Baz Luhrmann's upcoming adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Yes, The Great Gatsby could be coming to a theater near you with an extra dimension and some unnecessary razzle dazzle.
