Ok, so I have to blog about this because it is literally driving me CRAZY. The Great Gatsby (forgive me for not underlining, for I have NO clue how) is my all-time favorite work of literature. It's completely cliched, because just about everyone my age loves this book, but I simply cannot help it. I read it when I was in high school and fell in love.
I heard recent news that there are some movie writers/producers/directors who want to remake the classic film, which was shot in 1974 and starred Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. I am not a huge fan of film adaptations (hello, My Sister's Keeper), but I loved this film. It was phenomenally done.
Which brings me to my rant: LEONARDO DICAPRIO is said to be up for the role of Jay Gatsby, my all-time favorite literary character. I am not on board with this. Don't get me wrong, I get it. Leo is a good actor and has excellent taste in picking roles. But he is NOT Jay Gatsby, nor could he properly portray him. Blake Lively is also reportedly reading for the role of Daisy, which I may be okay with (since it's all up to me, right?)
What is my dream team, you ask? Well, my good friend Braidy and I already it all mapped out.
Tom- Colin Hanks
Daisy- Taylor Swift (with extensive acting lessons!)
and...drum role please...
Jay- James Franco
Thoughts?
XOXO,
