I understand that it's going to have teenaged vampires in it. To keep it current.
I may have to see this just to get new insight. I never could understand why a strong-willed guy like Jay Gatsby would expend so much effort to win the shallow heart of a veritable human vacuum like Daisy.
At least it's of the era, if not the exact year. I have a feeling it won't be historically accurate anyway after seeing Isla in her hair and makeup :
Looks more like Jo Anne Worley to me [huh]

Pretty hard to tell much from that one photo but Leo's shirt collar look much better than RR's.To be brutally honest, this is Leo dressed as Robert Redford dressed as Gatsby:
In fact, that look is trying to evoke Clara Bow, circa 1928:
That's also one more thing they messed up as far as the time line then....
Why is that? The photos of Clara Bow were taken in 1928; The Great Gatsby was written in 1925 and the story takes place in the 1920's so the time line is still intact as far as the hairdo goes (well, at least the original).
The story takes place in the summer of 1922 in the novel. It's not THAT big of a deal [huh]
I guess my issue is that movie people always seem to lump an entire decade together. A bad example, but the only one I can think of right now, would be The Wedding Singer.
The tousled curly bob was also worn in 1922...in terms of colour and specific style it's a clear reference to Bow, but you can see it, for example, in some of Alla Nazimova's styles. Curls would be piled up and might be worn with either a day or evening bandeau. I'm not entirely as keen on the scarf-as-bandeau...it did exist, but wasn't quote as common, particularly earlier in the decade. I do like the idea of using a curly bob, though, as it gives a better idea of the diversity of hairstyles in the 1920s aside from dutch dolls and marcel waves.
