Also starring are Carey Mulligan ( Drive) as the seductive Daisy Buchanan, Joel Edgerton ( Warrior) as her husband and Tobey Maguire ( Spider-Man) as the story's narrator Jay Carraway.

Set in the 1920s, with the opulent look of lavish parties, ritzy costumes and extravagance of the Roaring Twenties, the film conveys the story of a young, mysterious millionaire who falls for his neighbour's wife. Nick Carraway, a Midwesterner now living on Long Island, finds himself fascinated by the mysterious past and lavish lifestyle of his neighbour, Jay Gatsby. He is drawn into Gatsby's circle, becoming a witness to obsession and tragedy.

In a musical mash-up, recalling Luhrmann's  Moulin Rouge, the soundtrack for the 2:30-minute trailer starts with Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch the Throne and ends with a cover of U2′s Love is Blindness by Jack White, formerly of White Stripes.
