Baz Lurhmann’s “The Great Gatsby” heads to Warner Brothers Warner Bros. is closing in on a deal to distribute Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Nothing is finalized as of yet, but the deal could be sealed as early as Friday of this week. The film already has its stars as well with Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan portraying Daisy Buchanan and Tobey Maguire set to play the narrator Nick Carraway. Baz Luhrmann will direct from a script he co-wrote with Craig Pearce (Moulin Rouge). It was widely reported last week that Luhrmann might not be directing The Great Gatsby, although that does not seem to be the case now. It isn’t clear when production will start on The Great Gatsby quite yet but fans of the book, like myself, are ready and excited about this adaptation moving forward. The Great Gatsby comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Carey Mulligan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire. The film is directed by Baz Luhrmann.
