The Great Gatsby is based on the novel by F Scott Fitzgerald. The story takes place in New York in 1922. World War 1 veteran Nick Carraway rents a house next door to mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby.

The original movie was a silent film made in 1926 starring Warner Baxter. The first talking movie was made in 1948 starring Alan Ladd. It was remade in 1974 with Robert Redford and a tele-movie was released in 2000. The new version starring Leonard DiCaprio will premiere worldwide in May.
