The trailer of Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ The Great Gatsby will release tomorrow. Meanwhile, the first look of The Great Gatsby is out. Check out Amitabh Bachchan alongside Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio in the 1920's get-up.

The Great Gatsby is the new big screen adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel from the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann.

The filmmaker will create his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before. Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the title role along with Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan. The film also features Amitabh Bachchan in a friendly appearance alongside stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire. Big B plays the character of Meyer Wolfsheim, a Jewish money lender in the film. Bachchan’s maiden Hollywood outing and while he makes a friendly appearance in the film, he is prominently visible in the trailer.

The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.
