He talks about Jay Gatsby, the most hopeful man he had ever met. Nick 's doctor suggests that he writes his thoughts down, since writing is Nick 's passion. In the summer of 1922, Nick moves from the Midwest to New York after abandoning writing. He rents a small house in the North Shore village of West Egg, next to the mansion of Gatsby, a mysterious business magnate who often holds extravagant parties. One day, while Nick has dinner with his cousin, Daisy Buchanan, and her husband, Tom, he is introduced to Jordan Baker by Daisy, who hopes to make a match between them. When Nick returns home, he sees Gatsby standing on the dock, reaching towards the green light coming from the Buchanan dock. Jordan tells Nick that Tom has a mistress who lives in the `` valley of ashes '', an industrial dumping site between West Egg and New York City. Nick and Tom visit the valley and stop at a garage owned by George Wilson and his wife, Myrtle, Tom 's mistress. Later, Nick receives an invitation to one of Gatsby 's parties. Upon arrival, Nick learns he is the only one to receive an invitation and none of the guests have ever met Gatsby. Nick encounters Jordan, and both meet Gatsby. Gatsby offers Nick a ride to town for lunch. On the way, Gatsby tells Nick he is an Oxford graduate and war hero from a wealthy Midwestern family. They go to a speakeasy, where Gatsby introduces Nick to his business partner, Meyer Wolfsheim. Jordan tells Nick that Gatsby had a relationship with Daisy years ago and is still in love with her, and that Gatsby threw parties in the hopes that Daisy would attend. Gatsby asks Nick to invite Daisy to tea. After an awkward reunion, Gatsby and Daisy begin an affair. Gatsby is dismayed when Daisy wants to run away with him and wants her to get a divorce. He asks Nick and Jordan to accompany him to the Buchanan home, where he and Daisy plan to tell Tom that Daisy is leaving him. During the luncheon, Tom becomes suspicious of Gatsby and Daisy, but Daisy stops Gatsby from revealing anything to Tom and suggests they all go to the Plaza Hotel. Tom drives Nick and Jordan in Gatsby 's car, while Gatsby drives Daisy in Tom 's car. Tom stops for gas at George 's garage, where George tells him that he and Myrtle are moving and that he suspects Myrtle is unfaithful. At the Plaza, Gatsby tells Tom of his affair with Daisy. Tom accuses Gatsby of having never attended Oxford and having made his fortune through bootlegging with mobsters. Daisy says she loves Gatsby but can not bring herself to say she never loved Tom. Eventually, both Gatsby and Daisy leave. After a fight with George over her infidelity, Myrtle runs into the street and is fatally struck by Gatsby 's car after mistaking it for Tom 's. After learning about Myrtle 's death, Tom tells George that the car belongs to Gatsby and that he suspects Gatsby was Myrtle 's lover. Nick deduces Daisy was the driver, though Gatsby intends to take the blame. Nick overhears Daisy accepting Tom 's promise to take care of everything, but he does not tell Gatsby. Gatsby admits to Nick that he was born penniless ; his real name is James Gatz, and he had asked Daisy to wait for him until he had made something of himself. The next day, Gatsby hears the phone ringing and thinks it is Daisy. Before he can answer it, he is shot and killed by George, who then kills himself. Nick is the only person other than reporters to attend Gatsby 's funeral, as Daisy and Tom are leaving New York. The media paints Gatsby as Myrtle 's lover and killer. Disgusted with both the city and its inhabitants, Nick leaves after taking a final walk through Gatsby 's deserted mansion and reflecting on Gatsby 's ability to hope. In the sanatorium, Nick finishes typing his memoir, titling it The Great Gatsby.

Scott Fitzgerald 's acclaimed 1925 novel of the same name. In December 2008, Variety reported that this film adaptation was to be made with Baz Luhrmann as director. Luhrmann stated that he planned it to be more up - to - date due to its theme of criticizing the often irresponsible lifestyles of wealthy people. In order to commit to the project, in September 2010 Luhrmann moved with his family from Australia to Chelsea in Lower Manhattan, where he had intended to film The Great Gatsby. While Luhrmann was at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2011, he told The Hollywood Reporter that he had been workshopping The Great Gatsby in 3D, though he had not yet decided whether to shoot in the format. In late January 2011, Luhrmann showed doubt about staying on board with the project, before deciding to stay. In 2010, it was reported that the film was being set up by Sony Pictures Entertainment but by 2011, Warner Bros. was close to acquiring a deal to finance and take worldwide distribution of The Great Gatsby. Casting From left to right : Joel Edgerton and director Baz Luhrmann, Elizabeth Debicki, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, and producer and designer Catherine Martin at the premiere of The Great Gatsby in Sydney, May 22, 2013 Luhrmann said the results from the movie 's workshop process of auditioning actors for roles in The Great Gatsby had been `` very encouraging '' to him. Leonardo DiCaprio was cast first, in the title role of Jay Gatsby. It is the second time Luhrmann and DiCaprio worked together ; DiCaprio costarred in Luhrmann 's Romeo + Juliet ( 1996 ). Tobey Maguire was cast to play Nick Carraway. Reports linked Amanda Seyfried to the lead role of Daisy Buchanan, in October 2010. The next month Deadline Hollywood reported that Luhrmann had been auditioning numerous actresses, including Keira Knightley, Rebecca Hall, Amanda Seyfried, Blake Lively, Abbie Cornish, Michelle Williams, and Scarlett Johansson, as well as considering Natalie Portman, for Daisy. Soon afterward, with her commitment to Cameron Crowe 's We Bought a Zoo ( 2011 ), Johansson pulled out. On November 15, Luhrmann announced that Carey Mulligan had been cast to play Daisy after reading for the part on 2 November in New York. She got the role shortly after Luhrmann showed her audition footage to Sony Pictures Entertainment executives Amy Pascal and Doug Belgrad, who were impressed by the actress ' command of the character. Mulligan burst into tears after learning of her casting via a phone call from Luhrmann, who informed her of his decision while she was on the red carpet at an event in New York. Luhrmann said : `` I was privileged to explore the character with some of the world 's most talented actresses, each one bringing their own particular interpretation, all of which were legitimate and exciting. However, specific to this particular production of The Great Gatsby, I was thrilled to pick up the phone an hour ago to the young Oscar - nominated British actress Carey Mulligan and say to her : ' Hello, Daisy Buchanan. ' '' In April, Ben Affleck was in talks about playing the role of Tom Buchanan but had to pass due to a scheduling conflict with Argo ( 2012 ). Several weeks later, Affleck was replaced by Joel Edgerton. Bradley Cooper had previously lobbied for the part, and Luke Evans was a major contender. Isla Fisher was cast to play Myrtle Wilson. Australian newcomer Elizabeth Debicki won the part of Jordan Baker, right after graduating from Victorian College of the Arts. While casting for the supporting role of Jordan, the filmmaker said the character must be `` as thoroughly examined as Daisy, for this production, for this time '', adding, `` It 's like Olivier 's Hamlet was the right Hamlet for his time. Who would Hamlet be today ? Same with a Jordan or a Daisy ''. In June 2011, Jason Clarke was cast as George B. Wilson. Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan makes a cameo appearance as Meyer Wolfshiem ; this was his first Hollywood role. Filming The Great Gatsby was planned to be filmed in the New York City area where the novel is set, starting in June 2011. The director instead opted to shoot principal photography in Sydney. Filming began on September 5, 2011, at Fox Studios Australia and finished on December 22, 2011, with additional shots filmed in January 2012. The film was shot with Red Epic digital cameras and Zeiss Ultra Prime lenses. Originally scheduled for a December 25, 2012 release, on August 6, 2012, it was reported that the film was being moved to a summer 2013 release date. In September 2012, this date was confirmed to be May 10, 2013. The film opened the 66th Cannes Film Festival on May 15, 2013, shortly following its wide release in RealD 3D and 2D formats. Sets Beacon Towers in 1922, during the period that Fitzgerald would have known it In creating the background scenery for the world depicted in the film, designer Catherine Martin stated that the team styled the interior sets of Jay Gatsby 's mansion with gilded opulence, in a style that blended establishment taste with Art Deco. The long - destroyed Beacon Towers, thought by scholars to have partially inspired Fitzgerald 's Jay Gatsby estate, was used as a main inspiration for Gatsby 's home in the film. The filming for the exterior of Jay Gatsby 's mansion was the college building of the International College of Management, Sydney, Some inspiration was also drawn from other Gold Coast, Long Island, mansions, including Oheka Castle and La Selva Mansion. Features evoking the Long Island mansions were added in post-production. Inspiration for the Buchanan estate came from Old Westbury Gardens in Old Westbury, New York. The inspiration for the film version of the Buchanan estate came from Old Westbury Gardens. The mansion exterior was built on a soundstage, with digital enhancements added. The interior sets for the Buchanan mansion were inspired by the style of Hollywood Regency. The home of Nick Carraway was conceived as an intimate cottage, in contrast with the grandeur of the neighboring Gatsby mansion. Objects chosen adhered to a central theme of what the designers saw as classic Long Island. The architecture conjures American Arts and Crafts, with Gustav Stickley - type furnishings inside and an Adirondack - style swing out. The opening scene was filmed from Rivendell Child, Adolescent and Family Unit in Concord, Sydney, only a few kilometres from Sydney 2000 Olympic Stadium. Costumes Many apparel designers were approached in collaboration of the film 's costumes. The Great Gatsby achieved the iconic 1920s look by altering pieces from the Prada and Miu Miu fashion archives. Martin also collaborated with Brooks Brothers for the costumes worn by the male cast members and extras. Tiffany & Co. provided the jewelry for the film. Catherine Martin and Miuccia Prada were behind the wardrobe and worked closely together to create pieces with `` the European flair that was emerging amongst the aristocratic East Coast crowds in the 1920s '' Costume historians of the period, however, said that the costumes were not authentic, but instead modernized the 1920s - era fashions to look more like modern fashions. Most prominently, the women were clothed to emphasize their breasts, such as Daisy 's push - up bra, in contrast to the flat - chested fashions of the era. While the book was set in 1922, the movie included fashions from the entire decade of the 1920s and even the 1930s. Many of the fashions from archives were concepts from runways and fashion magazines that were never worn by women in real life. Martin says that she took the styles of the 1920s and made them sexier, and was trying to interpret 1920s styles for a modern audience. Alice Jurow, of the Art Deco Society of California, said that she loved the movie, but most of their members prefer more period - perfect films. The men 's costumes were more authentic, except that the pants were too tight. Marketing The first trailer for The Great Gatsby was released on May 22, 2012, almost a year before the film 's release. Songs featured in various trailers include : `` No Church in the Wild '' by Jay - Z and Kanye West ; a cover of U2 's `` Love Is Blindness '' performed by Jack White ; a cover of The Turtles ' `` Happy Together '' by the band Filter ; a cover of Amy Winehouse 's `` Back to Black '' performed by André 3000 and Beyoncé ; `` Young and Beautiful '' performed by Lana Del Rey ; and two songs, `` Bedroom Hymns '' and `` Over the Love '', performed by Florence and the Machine. On April 15, 2013, Brooks Brothers premiered `` The Gatsby Collection '', a line of men 's clothing, shoes and accessories `` inspired by the costumes designed by Catherine Martin for Baz Luhrmann 's The Great Gatsby ''. According to Fashion Weekly, `` The looks were n't simply based on 1920s style : the new duds were designed based on the brand 's actual archives (... ) Brooks Brothers was one of the initial arbiters of Gatsby - era look. The actual costumes, designed by Catherine Martin, will be on display in select Brooks Brothers boutiques. '' On April 17, 2013, Tiffany & Co. unveiled windows at its Fifth Avenue flagship store `` inspired by '' Luhrmann 's film and created in collaboration with Luhrmann and costumer Catherine Martin. The jewelry store also premiered `` The Great Gatsby Collection '' line of jewelry designed in anticipation of the film. The collection comprises 7 pieces : a brooch, a headpiece ( both reportedly based on archival Tiffany designs ), a necklace, and four different rings, including one in platinum with a 5.25 - carat diamond, priced at US $875,000. Soundtrack Main article : The Great Gatsby : Music from Baz Luhrmann 's Film Released on May 7, the film 's soundtrack is also available in a deluxe edition ; a Target exclusive release also features three extra tracks. The film score was executive - produced by Jay - Z and The Bullitts. Penned by Lana Del Rey and the film 's director, Baz Luhrmann, the song `` Young and Beautiful '' was released to contemporary hit radio as a single, and was used as the film 's buzz single. A snippet of the track appeared in the official trailer for the film and played during the scene where the characters portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan express their romantic feelings for one another. Hip hop magazine Rap - Up called the single `` haunting '', while MTV called it `` somber - sounding ''. The track performed by Florence and the Machine, `` Over the Love '', references the `` green light '' symbol from the novel in its lyrics. Chris Payne of Billboard praised Beyoncé and André 3000 's cover of `` Back to Black '', made unique with a downtempo EDM wobble. The xx recorded `` Together '' for the film, with Jamie Smith telling MTV that the band 's contribution to the soundtrack sounds like `` despair '', and revealing that it utilizes a 60 - piece orchestra. Speaking of his goals for the movie 's musical backdrop, Baz Luhrmann expressed his desire to blend the music of the Jazz Age, associated with the 1922 setting of the story, with a modern spin. Much like his modern twists applied in Moulin Rouge ! and Romeo + Juliet, Baz uses the movie 's music not as a background, but instead prominently in the foreground, which takes on a character of its own. Reception Box Office The Great Gatsby earned US $144.8 million in North America, and US $206.2 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of US $351 million.

It went on to finish in second place, behind Iron Man 3, during its opening weekend, with US $51.1 million. This was the sixth - largest opening weekend for a film that did not debut in first place, the second largest opening weekend for a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio behind Inception, and Luhrmann 's highest - grossing movie. Critical response On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 48 % based on 264 reviews, with an average rating of 5.8 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` While certainly ambitious -- and every bit as visually dazzling as one might expect -- Baz Luhrmann 's The Great Gatsby emphasizes visual splendor at the expense of its source material 's vibrant heart. '' Metacritic gives the film a score of 55 out of 100, based on 45 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Audiences polled by the market research firm CinemaScore gave an average grade of `` B '' on an A+ to F scale. Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal felt the elaborate production designs were a misfire and likened the film to the Roaring Twenties themselves as Fitzgerald envisioned and criticized them, stating that what is `` intractably wrong with the film is that there 's no reality to heighten ; it 's a spectacle in search of a soul. '' The Chicago Reader review felt `` Luhrmann is exactly the wrong person to adapt such a delicately rendered story, and his 3D feature plays like a ghastly Roaring 20s blowout at a sorority house. '' In The Atlantic, Christopher Orr observed that `` The problem is that when the movie is entertaining it 's not Gatsby, and when it 's Gatsby it 's not entertaining. '' The positive reviews included A.O. Scott of The New York Times, who felt the adaptation was `` a lot of fun '' and `` less a conventional movie adaptation than a splashy, trashy opera, a wayward, lavishly theatrical celebration of the emotional and material extravagance that Fitzgerald surveyed with fascinated ambivalence '' ; Scott advised `` the best way to enjoy the film is to put aside whatever literary agenda you are tempted to bring with you. '' Ty Burr of The Boston Globe reserved special praise for DiCaprio 's performance, saying `` magnificent is the only word to describe this performance -- the best movie Gatsby by far, superhuman in his charm and connections, the host of revels beyond imagining, and at his heart an insecure fraud whose hopes are pinned to a woman. '' The Scene Magazine gave the movie a `` B - '' rating, and praised the actors ' performances, in particular saying that `` the stand - out actor is Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan doing an excellent job of showing the character 's gruffness, despite the one - dimensionality given to him ''. A granddaughter of Fitzgerald praised the style and music of the film. Tobey Maguire 's role as Nick was given mixed to negative reviews from critics, with Philip French of The Guardian calling him `` miscast or misdirected ; '' Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post saying `` Tobey Maguire is his usual recessive presence, barely registering as either a dynamic part of the events he describes or their watchful witness ; '' and Elizabeth Weitzman of The New York Daily News saying despite `` the wry - observational skills needed for Nick 's Midwestern decency '', the character is `` directed toward a wide - eyed, one - note performance ''. Rick Groen of The Toronto Star was more positive of Maguire 's character, saying `` our narrator, ( is ) prone to his occasionally purple rhetoric. But that imposed conceit, the image of a talented depressive writing from inside the bauble of his imagination, seems to validate his inflated prose and, better yet, lets us re-appreciate its inherent poetry.
