The Great Gatsby - The Greatness of Gatsby - behind the scenes - HD

This feature tells all about how Baz Luhrman became entranced with the project and the initial things that inspired his glorious rendition, especially certain scenes from the novel that really resonated with him. Luhrman had certain actors in mind for Nick and Gatsby from the outset, and contacted them as soon as the idea was fully formed in his head. They go on to talk about how the story evolved from the novel to the actualized concept on-screen. For anyone looking to see just how a director becomes inspired, this is a great example of how something as simple as listening to an audio book on the train can trigger an idea for a film.
