Here’s the New Trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s ‘The Great Gatsby’

If there’s one thing I think we can safely predict about Baz Luhrmann‘s The Great Gatsby, it’s that it will be a visual feast. Though I’m not the biggest fan of the director’s previous work (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge), I’m totally sold on checking this one out.

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher, and Elizabeth Debicki.  In addition to showing some new footage, this trailer also highlights the soundtrack of the film that features Beyonce and Andre 3000Lana Del Rey, and Florence + The Machine. The Great Gatsby hits theaters May 10th, hit the jump for the new trailer and synopsis and click here to check out the previous trailer.

The Great Gatsby” follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan), and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). 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 of 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.
