The story requires Jay Gatsby, described as a young roughneck with a lot of animal magnetism, to try and take Daisy away from Tom Buchanan, the polo player, who looks like a magazine feature of a rich young athlete.
In other words in the picture above, that should be Tom Buchanan on the left and Jay Gatsby on the right.
But, once again, I missed the point. They are not making The Great Gatsby. They are making the 1,000,000th remake of the same hoky old piece of cheese they have been churning off the assembly line for 100 years. Don't worry nobody will know the difference except a few Gatsby fans and who cares about them? The point is to turn out another hunk of baloney we KNOW will sell.
Hope they didn't pay too much for the story rights if they aren't going to use any of it.
Notice I did not make a single mention of cars, clothes, or historical accuracy. Those things went out the window a long time ago.
Go on Mistergrey, tell me I have to lower my standards even farther. And when they hit rock bottom I have to dig a hole and lower them again.
