Long Island Glitz Coming to the Silver Screen

Right on the heels of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button comes another adaptation of an even more well-known F. Scott Fitzgerald story: The Great Gatsby. And who better to direct this grandiose tale of Jazz Age characters living it up on Long Island and New York City than the man that electrified Shakespeare, Baz Luhrmann?

Who are your picks to play Gatsby and Daisy?

The truth was that Jay Gatsby, of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God -- a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that -- and he must be about His Father's business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty. So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end.
