Leonardo is Great in bed

Love story ... Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan

LEONARDO DiCaprio beds Carey Mulligan in the first glimpse of The Great Gatsby. 

The new trailer for the movie takes us into the heady world of 1920s New York – the era of flappers, jazz, wild parties and steamy affairs. 

The trailer begins with the words: ‘New York, 1922, the tempo of the city had changed sharply. The buildings were higher, the parties were bigger, the morals were looser and the liquor was cheaper.’

And the first clips of the movie reveal the fabulous costumes, sumptuous sets and stylish look that are the trademarks of director Baz Luhrmann, who was behind Romeo And Juliet and Moulin Rouge. 

Tobey Maguire is narrator Nick, an innocent out-of-towner fascinated by the wealthy lifestyle of his charismatic neighbour, Jay Gatsby – played by Leo. 

After befriending the lad, Jay persuades him to arrange a meeting with his married cousin Daisy (Carey), the love of Gatsby’s life.

Rekindled romance ... Leonardo and Carey

But the couple’s rekindled romance, and the anger of Daisy’s husband Tom (Joel Edgerton) threatens to bring the party to an end.

Charismatic ... Leonardo as Gatsby

Based on the bestselling novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby also stars Isla Fisher, as Tom’s mistress Myrtle, and Elizabeth Debecki as Jordan. 

The movie is due for release on Boxing Day.
