Will 'The Great Gatsby' find any room in a new Oscar season?
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 5:39 am · May 6th, 2013
Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” is hitting theaters this week in advance of opening the 66th annual Cannes Film Festival on May 15. If you’ll recall, the film was all set to open last December amid the awards season glut as part of an already packed Warner Bros. slate. But it was shuffled on to a summer 2013 release to allow more time for post-production and, surely, to have a fighting chance at making some money.

Leonardo DiCaprio teams with Baz Luhrmann again in the lush trailer for 'The Great Gatsby'
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 4:14 pm · May 22nd, 2012
I have a feeling the freshly debuted trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” is going to draw a line in the sand. On one side, those a bit stricken by the apparent tone and visual direction the “Moulin Rouge!” director has taken the F. Scott Fitzgerald story. On the other, those who feel the material is getting a unique and vivid spin that could be good for it.
