The great American novel is going 3D! In an upcoming role, Leonardo DiCaprio will play the role of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire, in The Great Gatsby. Better yet, it's going to be filmed in 3D and in Australia! The last time the book was brought to the big screen was in 1974 when it starred Robert Redford and Mia Farrow.
