He just paid tribute to his home country in the epic Australia, but director Baz Luhrmann is landing next on Long Island. Yes, it's true: I can report that Baz Luhrmann's next project is definitely The Great Gatsby for 20th Century Fox. The Aussie filmmaker recently purchased rights to the F.

Thankfully, Baz should wipe away memories of that 1974 abomination directed by Harold Ross with Robert Redford and the horribly miscast Mia Farrow. My insiders confirm that Luhrmann is actively searching for a young actress to portray his Daisy, Jay Gatsby’s unrequited love.
