Thanks gals! Apparently Ben Affleck was cast, but pulled out - thank goodness. While I've always found Tom a bit insipid and wooden, I think Joel's got the edge to really make the character.
oooohhhh, Tom Buchanan...so many wonderful memories of the novel and my fabulous Literature teacher. I had an obsession with Daisy. I wonder who will play her? xox
Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Carey Mulligan have all been cast. I'd really like to see Maggie Gyllenhaal cast too- I can see her in it REALLY clearly.
In news that makes my day, Joel Edgerton, fresh from his awesome turn as Kerry Packer - is set to play Tom Buchanan in The Great Gatsby.
Just saw this pic whilst visiting Janes blog and knew I had found a kindered spriti. I agree with you Completely!!!
ReplyDeletewow, he looks quite different, doesn't he? very distinguished though

Kellie it's Carey Mulligan as Daisy - perfection. And Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby. Can't wait!
