Amitabh Bachchan will play the role of Meyer Wolfsheim, Isla Fisher and Jason Clarke are cast as Myrtle and George Wilson. Debicki will play Elizabeth Debicki.

Not a big fan of 3D, and I hate Gatsby. Usually I'm down for Dicaprio films, but this is a no-go for me.

i mean i dislike the whole 3d craze and everything, however when i think of Baz's Moulin Rouge, and Romeo + Juliet, i think the added depth could really be interesting.
