A new trailer for director Baz Luhrmann鈥檚 adaptation of 鈥淭he Great Gatsby鈥 showcased more of its music and showed a few pivotal events from the book鈥檚 plot.聽
Actor Joel Edgerton, who plays Tom Buchanan, husband of Daisy (Carey Mulligan), got more of a showcase in the new series of clips, especially at the beginning of the trailer. The trailer starts with Tom questioning the identity of Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio).
鈥淢r. Gatsby,鈥 Edgerton says, 鈥淚鈥檇 like to know, exactly who are you, anyhow? Can鈥檛 you see who this guy is?鈥 he asks his wife. 鈥淗is house, his parties, his fancy clothes.鈥 He then addresses Gatsby. 鈥淲e were born different from you. It鈥檚 in our blood. Nothing that you do or dream up could ever change that.鈥
Gatsby snaps and yells, 鈥淪hut up!鈥
The new trailer also includes more voiceover from Tobey Maguire, who portrays the book鈥檚 narrator, Nick Carraway.
鈥淚 had the uneasy feeling that he was guarding secrets,鈥 Maguire says of Gatsby at one point.
Glimpsed briefly in the trailer are a few pivotal moments in the story, including what looks like Myrtle Wilson (Isla Fisher) being hit by a car and what appears to be George Wilson (Jason Clarke) with a gun.聽
The new trailer features several songs, including 鈥淵oung & Beautiful鈥 by Lana Del Rey, artists Andre 3000 and Beyonce (whose husband Jay-Z is scoring the film) covering the Amy Winehouse hit 鈥淏ack to Black,鈥 and a Florence + The Machine song titled 鈥淥ver The Love鈥 which includes references to 鈥済reen light鈥 (undoubtedly a reference to the dock light at the end of the Buchanan property which serves as a symbol of Daisy to Gatsby).聽
鈥淭he Great Gatsby鈥 was originally scheduled to come out this past December but is now slated for a May 10 release.
