Oh Baz.

    The Great Gatsby! Holy mother of God I cannot wait for this to come out. Baz Luhrmann is a fricken genius. And I'm not just saying this because he directed Moulin Rouge, one of my all-time favourite movies and Romeo + Juliet. Well kind of. But not really. It's just that he always puts a spin on things. His cinematography is just insane in the membrane. It's awesome. He always films and directs things with a little twist. His way of doing things is not the norm.

For instance, take Michael Bay. I've always seen him as just doing everything in a very "Hollywood" style. But not good ol' Baz. I feel as though he shows old things in a modern and exciting way. He makes things interesting. He just makes his films so... cool. And this is the reason I am so darn excited about seeing The Great Gatsby.

Of course it helps that Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are in it. DiCaprio plays the wealthy Jay Gatsby while Maguire, aka Spiderman, plays Nick Carraway, Jay Gatsby's neighbour. Playing Tom Buchanan is Joel Edgerton (his name sounds familiar but when I stalked him on IMDB I couldn't place him) and playing Daisy Buchanan, his lovely wife and Gatsby's former lover, is Carey Mulligan. Also playing Myrtle Wilson is the hilarious and also Australian, Isla Fisher.

Carey Mulligan is quite the rising star I must say. I first saw her in Pride and Prejudice, another favourite movie of mine. And since then I've seen her popping up in all sorts of blockbusters such as An Education, Public Enemies, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and Drive with the oh so good looking Ryan Gosling.

But yeah. SO pumped for this. It comes out in Australia on 10 January 2013. AAAAHHHH. So far away. But since my birthday is on January 23... early birthday present perhaps?
