Just when we thought our excitement over upcoming Baz Luhrmann film, The Great Gatsby, had hit maximum capacity the latest trailer for the movie, based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel of the same name, has been released and features a Beyonce remake of Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black.
Bey teamed up with Andre 3000 to produce the cover, which you can hear in the first 40 seconds of the trailer. Beyonce’s involvement comes as no surprise considering her husband, Jay-Z has composed the film’s score.
Speaking about the project, he said; ‘The Great Gatsby is that classic American story of one’s introduction to extravagance, decadence and illusion. It’s ripe for experimentation and ready to be interpreted with a modern twist. The imagination Baz brought to Moulin Rouge made it a masterpiece, and the Romeo + Juliet score wasn’t just in the background – the music became a character.
The blockbuster 3D film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher and Jason Clarke is released in the UK on 16 May. We suggest you mark your diary and prepare for a wild, opulent, multi- sensory rollercoaster.
