The Great Gatsby is one of my favourite novels. None of the four screen adaptations have done it justice, but with Baz Lurhmann (Moulin Rouge!, Romeo + Juliet) at the helm of the Christmas 2012 version, I'm waiting with baited breath.
I can't help but feel doubtful at the casting of Carey Mulligan as Daisy though. Daisy Buchanan is meant to be flighty, irresponsible, selfish and devastatingly beautiful. Mulligan tends to play staid, plain and down-to-earth characters, so I just can't envision her in this role.
Although it would be difficult to find someone with the quality of a starlet like Mia Farrow.
