You heard it folks...this world renowned novel is being made into a film and Baz Luhrmann is at the helm, which by my standards is great news as the films that he has done in the past that I have seen 'Romeo and Juliet' and not forgetting the singing debut of Ewan Mcgregor in his version of 'Moulin Rouge', are anything to go by then it'll be an ok film.
But with the actors and actresses on the set of this film is anything to go by then it won't be a total loss of a film as Isla Fisher is in talks to play the film's 'Myrtle Wilson'. This character has an affair with Carey Mulligan's Daisy's husband 'Tom'. But just when you get to familiarise yourself with the character she dies from being hit by a speeding car. However the role of 'Tom' will have to be changed as the original idea was for 'Ben Affleck' to play this but he's all tied up with directing 'Argo'.
So, so far the people who have been cast are Carey Mulligan, Tobey Mcguire and Leonardo DiCaaprio. Just watch this blog for any updates on this recasting debarckle. Hopefully the wait to hear who will be next in line to play this part won't be too long and strenous.
