It looks like an interesting adaptation. I like that it seems like the director is kind of taking it his own direction stylistically a bit instead of trying to make a serious duplicate of the book and its settings and character descriptions. I liked that the eyes of T.J. Eckleburg were there too! The music choice at first seems jarring but the use of more modern music is used for grounding. It's saying, "These people are living in a different time, but they are actually pretty similar to us." It doesn't really give you much information about what the story is about though. But how would you make a movie trailer for a story like The Great Gatsby? I've been thinking about this since I saw the trailer this morning and can't really come up with any compelling ideas. It's really not a narrative that you can introduce easily in a 2 minute trailer.
