The Buzz: My love for certain
novels doesn't desire to see them confined to the page or protected from
being interpreted on film; take for example Cary Fukunaga's Jane Eyre,
a perfect adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's dreary, soot-eyed romance,
and an example of underdog cast and director choices at their most
winning. When it comes to Leonardo DiCaprio reteaming with Baz Luhrmann
to interpret F. Scott Fitzgerald's second-best novel, I often think that
the people who have the power to green light (Gatsby reference)
major projects aren't necessarily the best fit to star in them. Or act
as their director. As respected as he aims to be, Leonardo DiCaprio is
at his least effective handling serious drama; Luhrmann, with all of his
mega-budget entitlement, has bewitched the industry, but let's see how
his latest epic plays out in terms of audience appeal.
