Great Gatsby’ Trailer: Leo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire And Jay-Z

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

You know what the best part of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Great Gatsby” is? When Jay-Z and Kanye’s “No Church in the Wild” plays in the background at a party on West Egg. Wait, that never happened? That can’t be true — according to the trailer for Baz Lurhmann’s “Gatsby” movie, it did!

Yes, the first footage from the upcoming Fitzgerald adaptation has just hit the web, and it’s full of dancing, drinking and hip-hop, all set in the colorful, stylized New York community you probably don’t remember from the books. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby and Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway, the film is a (very) updated take on the classic Fitzgerald novel.

Looks aside, the movie appears to follow the same iconic story of the wealthy Jay Gatsby and his curious neighbor, Carraway. (Then again, this thing is in 3D, so who knows?)

You can check out the full trailer above. (Watch at your own risk, Fitzgerald, fans!)

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
