Reuters reported today that Australian director Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” will open the 2013 Cannes film festival, the world’s most important cinema showcase, organizers said on Tuesday.
The adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s account of “Roaring Twenties” America combines serious literary heritage and A-list star power, with Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role.
DiCaprio will make an appearance at the festival on the famous Croisette waterfront for the first time since 2007.
The opening gala, preceded by a glitzy red carpet fashion parade and followed by parties along the palm-lined Riviera, will also be attended by Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan and U.S. rapper Jay-Z.
The Great Gatsby is fittingly receiving the most glamorous of movie debuts.
