‘Gatsby’ trailer features new music from Beyonce, Lana Del Rey, & Florence + The Machine

The 3rd trailer for The Great Gatsby has been released by Warner Bros., and it features three new songs recorded for the movie. Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey, & Florence + The Machine are only a few of the artists on the star-studded soundtrack. This trailer gives us a better look into the world of ‘Gatsby’ than the previous trailers, but the real winner here is the music. The full lineup of the soundtrack was revealed this morning, and it certainly packs a punch.

Luhrmann stated, “F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel is peppered with contemporary music references specific to the story’s setting of 1922. While we acknowledge, as Fitzgerald phrased it, ‘the Jazz Age,’ and this is the period represented on screen, we—our audience—are living in the ‘hip-hop age’ and want our viewers to feel the impact of modern-day music the way Fitzgerald did for the readers of his novel at the time of its publication.”

That sounds like a pretty good excuse for using big name artists playing mostly contemporary music. Hey, I’m not complaining. I don’t want to listen to a bunch of 1920’s music at the club.
