THE LISTENING / READING SCRIPT

From: http://www.LessonsOnMovies.com/the_great_gatsby.html

The Great Gatsby is a 2013 3D romantic drama film It is an

adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel of the same name The film is co-written and directed by Baz Luhrmann, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire The official Warner Bros website says: "The filmmaker created his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before." It follows the life and times of millionaire Jay Gatsby (played by DiCaprio) and his neighbour Nick, who tells of his encounter with Gatsby in 1920s America Warner Bros says, "Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super-rich, their illusions, loves and deceits."

Prior to this film there had already been a Broadway play and numerous film adaptations of F Scott Fitzgerald's acclaimed novel When Luhrmann was asked about the movie, he stated that he planned the remake to be more timely due to its theme of criticizing the often irresponsible lifestyles of wealthy people It is

perhaps a reflection of money in the early 21st century The

Great Gatsby was planned to be filmed in New York, where the

novel is set, starting in June 2011 The director instead opted to have the principal photography happen in Sydney Filming began

on September 5, 2011, at Fox Studios Australia The shoot finished on December 22, 2011, with additional shots filmed in January 2012
