The Great Gatsby: Eight reasons why were so excited about it!
After what feels like eons of hype about The Great Gatsby, this week the Baz Lurhman directed, Leonardo DiCaprio starring film event of the summer finally hits our screens!
Did we mention we're excited? Well, we are. VERY excited. And here are eight reasons why you should be, too.
1. Leonardo DiCaprio's hotness
We've loved Leo since the days of What's Eating Gilbert Grape and we still love him now. He's amazing as the charismatic, hedonistic and mysterious Jay Gatsby who's desperately in love with Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan).
2. The costumes, the costumes, the costumes
Everyone, and we mean everyone is going to want add a touch of Gatsby glamour to their wardrobe after seeing the film. The costumes – like everything else – are stunning.
3. The mega parties
Gatsby's legendary parties are brought to life to perfection, as you'd expect from the director who brought us Moulin Rouge.
4. Leading ladies Carey Mulligan and Isla Fisher
We won't be surprised to see a few Daisy Buchanan bobs springing up, but aside from the fact that both Carey Mulligan and Isla Fisher look amazing they both act their stylish socks off.
5. The soundtrack
Featuring the likes of Jay-Z, Beyonce (covering Amy Winehouse no less) and Emeli Sande its one of the best movie soundtracks in yonks!
6. Baz Lurman is brilliant!
Aussie director Baz Lurman is the mastermind behind some of our favourite films ever such as Moulin Rouge, Romeo + Juliet and Strictly Ballroom. So he's got the vision to bring F Scott Fitzgerald's famous novel to life.
7. It looks amazing in Real D 3D
Strap on a pair of 3D specs for the greatest Gatsby experience. Thanks to Real D 3D technology The Great Gatsby has a fully immersive feel. Dress up in your best '20s-inspired garb and you'll feel like you really are a guest at one of Jay's lavish parties.
8. heat's Great Gatsby event!
We're totally obsessed with all things Great Gatsby here at heat, in fact we're so excited that we're hosting our very own Gatsby event to give everyone a taste of a some Gatsby glamour.
We'll be at Westfield Shepherd's Bush, London on Friday 17 May and Saturday 18 May between 9am and 6pm, and from midday until 6pm on Sunday 19 May, where – with the help of a heat make-up artist and RealD 3D photography – we'll give you the Great Gatsby look.
You can then share your pictures on Twitter and Facebook, as well as book your tickets to see The Great Gatsby – available in stunning RealD 3D – at the VUE cinema.
Plus, actual costumes from the film will be on display – giving you all the inspiration you need to get the Gastby-inspired '20s look in your own wardrobe.
We'll see you there.
