A brand new trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby, starring Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio, has landed online in addition to several new character posters.
Since the film was delayed from its original December 2012 release date, this is the first good look we’ve had at the film. Narrated by Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio), the trailer features a heap of new footage we didn’t see from the first trailer, as it introduces us to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s world. Although, it’s strange to see something like The Great Gatsby done to Kanye West and Jay Z, not to mention it’s going to be in 3D.
Take a look at the trailer below, originally via Apple:
The film also stars Joel Edgerton, Jason Clarke, Isla Fisher, and many more. Take a look at several new character posters below, which arrived following the poster of Isla Fisher released yesterday.

From the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann comes the new big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby. The filmmaker will create his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before, in a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role. The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway 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, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. 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.
