Baz Luhrmann Set For 'Great Gatsby'

The Great Gatsby
Baz Luhrmann may jump from pre-WWII Australia to America's Jazz Age.

The "Australia" helmer has purchased the rights to "The Great Gatsby," F. Scott Fitzgerald's tome of the Roaring Twenties. While a script does not yet exist, Luhrmann intends to focus on it after "Australia's" awards run. No studio is attached yet.
