Baz Luhrmann
I went on a quick trip to Australia to work with a church over there for a while. Fell in love and learned a lot. It was dreamy! But more on that later... For now, let me tell you about my love for Baz Luhrmann! (Who is actually, Australian.) And about my BIG question of the day: WHY did no one inform me he was doing Gatsby?? Right on que, he's as handsome as ever. Mark Anthony 'Baz' Luhrmann is a Producer/Director/Writer famous for his films Australia, Moulin Rouge!, and my personal very favorite, Romeo + Juliet. His style is so gaudy and theatrical and over the top yet somehow it's not overdone; it's tasteful, just enough to keep you captivated. So it's no wonder everyone is talking about Gatsby! (besides the fact that it's the production of the ultra famous book) I can not wait to see him work with De Caprio again. Fabulous. I must see it now. Just adding to my love of all things Australian.
