Take a peek at these new pictures below.

  We’ve already seen a few snapped from the bushes, but Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby officially looks like this… Baz Luhrmann’s ability to serve up sumptuous visuals was never under question, and these first official glimpses of his The Great Gatsby adaptation show us why. Gorgeous cast, costumes and production design are Luhrmann’s trademarks (that, and camp musical choices – though we’re fairly confident there won’t be many of those here), so who better to put the glitz of the jazz age on the big
