The Great Gatsby 3D Blu-ray (2013) [Region Free]

[MovieFanatic2010]

THE GREAT GATSBY




I saw the trailer to this and the 3D looked amazing..... The movie itself looks like it's going to be great as well judging by the trailer and the great actors involved.... Do you guy's plan on seeing this ?

I hope it does good. This was moved back from Fall/Winter 2012 to May 2013. I think it would have done better in the fall/winter....but that's just me. We shall see. Visuals and the 3D look really cool. Probably will wait for the 3D blu.

I don't think the positioning of the film is a mistake, where you're ready to take the write off. The only reason it was going to come out in the fall is because they thought it would play well during awards season... And then they saw the film.

They deliberately buried it between summer blockbusters so they have an excuse for it's pending failure. (I'm sure they're going to take a loss on it... It has to have cost more than $150 million with P&A). I wouldn't surprised if it finishes behind the Tyler Perry movie that week...

Ah....thanks for the explanation. Was wondering why the studio pushed it back. I thought it would do better in the fall/winter because it would be during the holidays and the trailer (imo) just looked as if the movie had a holiday feel to it.

The visuals and 3D does look great though.

No big deal, but do you have a link for this information? I remember you said you work in the industry, so a link would be helpful. Thanks.

What upcoming movie out there do you think is worthwhile in your opinion, that doesn't deserve a negative prediction, as most of your posts seem to suggest over some months' time?

The Great Gatsby's 3D looks really good from the new trailer shown before Oz 3D. I might check it out for that. It does have some big names attached to it like DeCaprio and Spider-Man's Tobe Maguire that should help ticket sales. I never read the book though. It looks interesting as a "period piece" based on that era in time.

So the studio decides it's going to take a loss so instead of putting it out in a good season they put it in a bad one to lose more money so they can make an excuse? that doesnt sound smart if you ask me. I thought it looked perfectly clear that they moved this movie so it didnt have to compete with the likes of Django, Hobbit and Les Miserables. The movie can get the best reviews but would still fail going up against blockbusters like that.

I personally thought it was good strategy moving it to may where it doesnt have to go up against the big names and still have a better turn around assuming reviews and advertising goes well.

I'll reiterate what Zivouhr said, by agreeing with the statement that the new trailer before 'Oz: the Great and Powerful' has the best 3D pop and depth, I've seen yet, past trailers didn't have a big wow factor to me.

...Uh, you DO know that the studio sandwiched it right smack between Iron Man 3 and Star Trek 2, which Warner already knows is what killed off Speed Racer?
That's about as "Going up against" as you can humanly GET, not to mention "Fatal". And we all have a big ol' whopping suspicion why.

(And if you don't, call up your old high school Lit teacher, and ask him/her the old one about "Were Nick and Jay actually gay, because they hung out together?"
If you get an answer to that question...either Baz didn't, or he wishfully ignored it.)

The only films that have captured my interest the next few months are Pain & Gain (I enjoy any Michael Bay film, and I'm curious how he'll do going back to a low budget film.); Iron Man 3; Star Trek 2, Kick Ass 2 and RIPD. - I know I'll seem stuff like Monsters University and Man of Steel, but most this year's batch of sequels, re-makes and adaptations just aren't that interesting.

I'll admit I've been hard on GI Joe 2 and The Great Gatsby, but I've learned over the years, unless a film is delayed prior to filming, it's never a good sign. Especially when something being hyped hard for a select date, and is moved just a month prior... Not quite the case with The Great Gatsby of course, but when marketing makes the following statement public, something is fishy:

From Baz Luhrmann explains Great Gatsby delay.

"Based on what we've seen, Baz Luhrmann's incredible work is all we anticipated and so much more," said Feldman. "We think moviegoers of all ages are going to embrace it, and it makes sense to ensure this unique film reaches the largest audience possible." (Feldman is the President of Domestic Distribution for WB.)

I'm sorry, you don't drop a film like this between two monster blockbusters, Iron Man 3 & Star Trek 2, to "reach the largest audience possible".

Then there's World War Z... Multiple re-writes, delays etc. I want it to be good but...

This from someone who signs, "If a movie isn't in 3D it isn't really worth watching." Seriously?

God forbid I'd enjoy films from someone that makes no apologies for this style of films. His films are stupid, stylistic entertainment. You probably idolize someone like Tony Scott, who was essentially the same type of film director, with a more traditional editing style.

I'm sorry that I have no faith in a film's potential because it's too f***ing full of itself. It is being pitched as some hip, mis-mash retelling of a classic story, that cares much more about it's production design, and how Jay-Z's songs fit into the film, than the actual story. It's not like Baz Lurhmann has a track record of bloated spectacles... But that Michael Bay, what a hack... Oh wait.

Yeah, I have no respect for people like Scorcese, Coppala, Cameron, Hitchcock, Spielberg, Fincher or other respected directors. They all hacks compared to Bay.

Maybe it didnt want it up against another DiCaprio movie which can split the fans of strictly DiCaprio. I just highly doubt they moved to make an excuse to be bad. It looks interesting and Baz can be good so I'll wait on the reviews before i commit to see this in theaters. But judging the trailer it looks pretty good.

My sign is silly hyperbowl.

Bay thinks he makes brilliant films, he is always socially attacking people like a 5th grader who don't think much of his work. I don't like Tony Scott so keep on presuming away.

It's not that I care at all if you have faith in this movie it's that you talk a load of shit and present it as fact. You do it whenever I see your posts. You act like you know all this insider shit and how large scale cinema works. You don't know shit!

What does you having respect for some filmmakers have to do with anything?

[Zivouhr]

Audiences who prefer drama, or something more serious in tone first, like Hugo, Life of Pi, Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, etc, might want to see The Great Gatsby first, before considering action adventure movies like Iron Man 3 and Star Trek Into Darkness, which tend to appeal more to younger audiences I'd imagine.

The new extended Great Gatsby 3D preview was interesting, as it showed more stuff like a car chase and revealed more about the story. Great 3D.

Zivouhr, did you do all those animated films yourself? That's AMAZING!

Speed Racer killed off Speed Racer. It's one of the worst films ever made!

(Never saw the original, huh? Call it a guess. )

Sandwiched between Iron Man 1 and Indy IV, and five years later, the mass hypnosis STILL holds...

I saw it as a kid a VERY long time ago

I am not a Baz Lurhmann fan at all. His first 2 films were brilliant, but it's been downhill ever since.

[Taygan315]

I think this flick may be the next Hugo for 3D. Just has that look and style. Anybody see the 3D trailer for this yet? Movie itself looks like a winner to me.
