WHAT?!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I put &#8220;What&#8221; in all caps and used a lot of exclamatory punctuation because this interview done by <a href=\"http:\/\/nymag.com\/daily\/entertainment\/2011\/03\/baz_luhrmann_gatsby.html\" target=\"blank\">New York Magazine<\/a> has me and probably tons of other movie bloggers slightly miffed. I&#8217;m not saying they did a bad job, in fact, the magazine isn&#8217;t the problem. It&#8217;s what they uncovered that&#8217;s a bit problematic.<\/p>\n<p>The magazine uncovered that Lurhmann&#8217;s &#8220;Great Gatsby&#8221; project won&#8217;t be filmed at this point in time, according to Lurhmann himself. We also find out that he&#8217;s seriously hedging around giving more insight into the film.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about reports stating he&#8217;s going to film in Australia even though most of his team is in Brooklyn, he said, &#8220;That&#8217;s a great question. I&#8217;m not doing Gatsby right now for this reason. Because despite what might be out there, I have made no comment about anything. So until I say it, it&#8217;s not said, you know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When pressed further about what his answer meant, he responded, &#8220;What it means is, much like what goes on in any event, when you&#8217;re in the middle of the work, there&#8217;s all sorts of things you&#8217;re doing, and, you know, when I&#8217;m really clear &#8211; I, right now, my only focus is absorbing &#8211; I&#8217;ve been studying Fitzgerald now for three years, and my only act now is to absorb the DNA of his world, his life, the world of the novel. That&#8217;s why I have published on our website all the books we&#8217;re reading. And I think before we all engage anyone, the first thing to do is to do your homework, read the books, and then let&#8217;s talk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He was also asked about the 3D element of this version of &#8220;The Great Gatsby&#8221;, to which he answered, &#8220;Like I said, I&#8217;m in the middle of my own foolish-to-be-talking-about-anything-in-any-regard stage, before you truly have something to express. I&#8217;m in the middle of my own moment and my team&#8217;s, and I&#8217;m just building culture. Building creative culture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Okay. Quite a bit of the information that had been reported on the film was confirmed by Lurhmann himself, like <a href=\"http:\/\/nymag.com\/daily\/entertainment\/2010\/11\/industry_roundup_carey_mulllig.html\" target=\"blank\">the casting of Carey Mulligan<\/a>. So why is Lurhmann hedging now? I&#8217;m so confused.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the film is expected to be out in 2012.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44094\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44094\" style=\"width: 219px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/baz-luhrmann-director.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/baz-luhrmann-director.jpg\" alt=\"Baz Lurhmann\" title=\"Baz Lurhmann\" width=\"219\" height=\"219\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/baz-luhrmann-director.jpg 219w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/baz-luhrmann-director-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Baz Lurhmann<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I put &#8220;What&#8221; in all caps and used a lot of exclamatory punctuation because this interview done by New York Magazine has me and probably tons of other movie bloggers slightly miffed.
