"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."
