Fans of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic
"The Great Gatsby" will have to wait a little longer to see the new film
adaptation come to light. Warner Brothers announced today that the movie will be
pushed from the original Christmas 2012 release date to summer of
2013.
Despite the delay, the production company
assures fans of the roaring twenties novel that it will be worth the wait.
"Based on what we've seen, [director] Baz Luhrmann's incredible work is all we
anticipated and so much more," Dan Fellman, president of domestic distribution
at Warner Bros. said in a statement. "It truly brings Fitzgerald's American
classic to life in a completely immersive, visually stunning and exciting
way."
His statements are reinforced by Veronika
Kwan Vandenberg, president of international distribution, who said, "With this
film [Baz] has done something completely unexpected—making it in 3D—while
capturing the emotion, the intimacy, the power and the spectacle of the time.
The responses we've had to some of the early sneak peeks have been
phenomenal.The Great Gatsby' will be the perfect summer movie around the
world."
