Epic is an overused phrase, but it seems apt in describing Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming adaptation of The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel. Maybe you haven’t read the book since high school, but you probably never imagined it as lushly or cinematically as this interpretation. Shot in the latest 3D technology, this film releases Christmas Day, and features a lot of the same flair that the Australian filmmaker used in his films like Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet. It seems sure to bring the sleek style of the roaring 20’s back into vogue, and whether or not the film adaptation is any good, the visuals will surely be a feast for the eyes.
