Five months after the release of the first official stills from Baz Lurhmann's latest extravaganza The Great Gatsby - a US$127million 3D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's jazz age classic - comes the first trailer (below). Shot in Sydney at Fox Studios, the film stars Leonardo di Caprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire, alongside a swag of Aussies, from Joel Edgerton to Isla Fisher, Vince Colosimo, Barry Otto, Max Cullen and model-turned-thesp Gemma Ward. The countdown to the Christmas release is now on.
