Sometimes, I will read books. Yes, I know, it is the 21st century, but bear with me. My favorite book is F. Scott Fitzgerald's
The Great Gatsby for various reasons that aren't important at the moment. I have watched every movie version of the book, all of which are criticized by fan boys like me for
leaving something out or
doing something differently. So, you cannot imagine my joy at the announcement of another version of the movie currently in production. Announced in 2008 or something, it is supposed to release next year some time (but probably not).
In more recent versions of the movie, Nick Carraway, the investigative narrator of the story, has been played by
Sam Waterston, and, oddly enough, very well by
Paul Rudd. In the new
Baz Luhrmann venture, everyone's favorite Peter Parker, Tobey Maguire, is slated to be the new
Nick Carraway. But,
why?.
Go ahead and jump...and feel my rage.
