that looks AWFUL! I liked the novel and the first movie and I wanted to vomit 15 seconds into that trailer. The music..WHY that music?!
I'm interested and wanna find out more so the trailer worked
sons what are your thoughts? both are coming out later this year.
The Great Gatsby - Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan
The Master - Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams

I'd imagine it would be hard to actually make The Great Gatsby attractive by a trailer. Most people read the book so they know what they're going to get. The actors are definitely interesting.
Probably going to watch it cause of the DiCaprio factor.
I'll see The Master just because of Paul Thomas Anderson and Jonny Greenwood.
Not sure that books like Gatsby will ever make good movies.
that gatsby trailer looks horrendous, the fact that the director did moulin rouge makes it look worse
If I cringed reading the great gatsby in HS,I'm certain no way in ima see that
I never even read The Great Gatsby and I thought that that trailer looked off.
I will see The Master because PTA is great.
the gatsby trailer is dog . it honestly looks like the worst movie of all time.
and completely opposite the master looks wonderful. wouldve seen it no matter what but now im hyped.
I'd check out The Master for sure.
throwing in bull "i play the record player" autotune hip hop music in a movie about the early 20th century....
I really connected with the book when I was in High School…No matter how hard I work, no matter how much money I save, no matter how handsome I am, Mother always makes it known that I am not good enough & I don’t belong…
I'll probably see Gatsby because I'll see any movie with either DiCaprio or Carey Mulligan. The trailer isn't appealing, and already Mulligan doesn't seem to be playing Daisy as shallow or vacant as we know the character is.
As have been pointed out above, the 2 most aggregious factors so far are the music and Baz Luhrmann.
The Master looks much better. Philip Seymour Hoffman always delivers, one can never lose with Joaquin Phoenix as either a depressed guy or a guy tortured by inner conflicts
On first glance, the Gatsby trailer seems horrible. I just wonder if the actors can save it.
The music appears to be a U2 song (Love is Blindness) done by -I don't know who?
I loved the book-but I wonder if this new approach will be a plus or a minus.
The Master- I don't feel like I want to see it based on that trailer.
The Great Gatsby as I have always dreamed: With a ty soundtrack of 100 years into the future and in Real-D 3D!
The Master looks very intriguing...
1) How many incarnations of The Great Gatsby can we make? Then again, my take on it is colored by the fact that I didn't understand the book when I read it in high school. Maybe I should read it again.
2) Dang, Joaquin Phoenix can look ing creepy when he tries.
Lulz. That's EXACTLY what I took away from tha trailer: "Wait. WHAT was The Great Gatsby about again???"
I think I'm gonna re-read it -- it's been over a decade since I read it the first time -- and then decide if I wanna devote the time to whatever that movie's trying to "re-imagine."
Ack, Gatsby could be a real train wreck. A valid criticism of the Redford/Waterston movie is that it didn't really capture the energy of the jazz age, but putting Luhrman on the project is probably overcompensating -- especially if that's indicative of the music used throughout the movie.
MacGuire is still a lightweight and can't live down his k d lang impression from Spider Man 3. DiCaprio is a really good choice but why is he so sweaty all the time? Did they run out of powder? And from those short clips he just looks way more obviously obsessed than comes across in the book and definitely the Redford portrayal. Gatsby was an aloof but seemingly easygoing mystery to everyone until he opened up to Nick and later Daisy and Tom. Now anyone looking at him has to think Wow, that moist guy is sure preoccupied with something.
Looks like another Gatsby-movie that misses the point of the book.
I've still never read the book or seen any movie versions of it.
Impression?
You mean Brothers wasn't about the time k.d. lang got PTSD and ed up her marriage to Natalie Portman?
Dang, I thought I was going to read a thesis from CF.
The Great Gatsby looks every bit as horrible as a 3D adaptation sounded. I'll undoubtedly see it, though. With the exception of Moulin Rouge, which I genuinely like, there's something about Luhrmann's over-the-top horribleness that I find endlessly fascinating. I feel compelled to see the train wreck in all its glory.
Kind of like all the movies for which Luc Besson has a writing and/or producing credit in that way.
As for The Master, the trailer is entirely incidental. Paul Thomas Anderson is batting .1000 in my mind and is on the shortlist of directors to whom I will forever give my monies without hesitation.
Tbh, I'm a fan of Moulin Rouge, too. But, and feel free to flame away, it's the music I enjoy moreso than the flamboyance of the film itself.
And assuming Gatbsy doesn't break out into song midway through, not sure I could enjoy this one as much.
Now That is more like it. Not as deep though but still what I expected.
