Baz and Leonardo to Reunite For The Great Gatsby?

Aussie director Baz Luhrmann has been pretty quiet of late, but in a recent interview with MTV.com he revealed that he’s just about to choose his next project, with the options being either a reworking of The Great Gatsby or an original New York-based, music-driven film. He said he would make the decision in four to six weeks and that it would be based on “what the next right step is for me.” (He’s also interested in directing an episode of Glee and has approached creator Ryan Murphy.) If he decides to go with The Great Gatsby, names have already been thrown around for the lead characters, including Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Amanda Seyfried as Daisy Buchanan and Tobey Maguire as the narrator Nick Carraway. Baz and Leo last worked together on Romeo + Juliet in 1996, meaning a reunion between the two is way overdue. And going by that adaptation, we know that Baz loves putting a twist on the old classics. Would you be excited to see these names team up to remake the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel?
