A new extended TV spot and 2 banner posters for Baz Luhrmann's version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" have been released. The TV spot is kind of scary. It features a song called "A Little Party Never Killed No One" by Fergie, Q-Tip and GoonRock as a dubious marketing stunt. I won't go on a rant about how this song doesn't fit the story or the period in time, because this is Baz Luhrmann we're talking about. Think of his "Romeo + Juliet" and "Moulin Rouge" and you get the picture. It just feels like an odd match, trying to use a Fergie song to sell F. Scott Fitzgerald's story to a wider audience. The soundtrack also features Jay-Z, Beyonce, Will.I.Am, Lana Del Rey, Florence + The Machine, The Bryan Ferry Orchestra and GOTYE. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher and Elizabeth Debicki. "The Great Gatsby" opens on May 10, 2013 (in 3D).
Check out the TV spot and posters after the jump.
Official Synopsis
"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"
