New set photos from Baz Luhrmann‘s The Great Gatsby have leaked online. Most of the photos show a fight between Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) and Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). I forget what brings Nick and Tom to fisticuffs, especially since Nick is the observer of Jay Gatsby’s (Leonardo DiCaprio) story rather than an active participant. There’s also a first look at Isla Fischer as Tom’s mistress Myrtle Wilson. There’s not much to say about these photos other than I dig the costumes and the fact that Edgerton is trying to pull off a Hitler moustache.
Hit the jump to check out the set photos and click here to see the set photos we posted yesterday.. The film also stars Carey Mulligan and Jason Clarke. The Great Gatsby opens in 3D on December 25, 2012.

Here’s a synopsis for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby:
“The Great Gatsby” follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

I don’t understand why it is being filmed in Australia. It is a classic American novel set in the U.S.
could be cheaper to shoot it there, now that’s classic american.
There is no fight between Carraway and Buchannan in the book. If this is a clever way to spice up the plot I’m angrier than I was before. The plot synopsis is brutal; I’m guessing it’s the studio’s synopsis. Using the word “Thus” doesn’t make it highbrow. This is one of the greatest pieces of American literature of all time. Bastardizing it into 3-D and dressing people up in period costumes, however much cleavage you adorn them with, is a poor to very poor idea. I credit Luhrman for taking risks, but this has had failure inked into it from day one.
It looked like Maguire and Edgerton were just playing around with each other when the cameras stopped rolling.
They aren’t even filming them in that picture. Let’s actually take a close look at things before we start making snap judgements.”Nick and Tom are fighting! Baz has ruined the story!”
Why do you assume it’s a scene rehearsal? Another story i read pointed out that Edgerton and Maguire had become friends on set and that they were joking around together. There are other photos of them smiling and laughing while they’re mock fighting to kill time.
Tom is way too old; Nick looks like a complete fool. This movie will tank.
