《了不起的蓋茨比》推遲上映 無緣2012年奧斯卡
"The Great Gatsby" is no longer a 2012 Oscar contender. In a shocking bit of news, Warner Bros. announced on Monday that Baz Luhrmann's highly anticipated 3D adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" will not get released on Dec. 25. Instead, the film has been moved to an unspecified date in summer of 2013.
Late-stage release date changes -- particularly when there is already a marketing campaign in full swing -- almost always raise eyebrows unless there are some extenuating circumstances to consider as well. On Twitter, prominent Oscar blogger Sasha Stone wondered whether "The Great Gatsby" was subpar.
However, as Stone later noted, the move could have been made because of financial considerations. This December is loaded with high profile releases, from "Les Miserables" and "The Life of Pi" to "The Hobbit" (a fellow Warner Bros. release) and "Zero Dark Thirty," Kathryn Bigelow's Osama Bin Laden drama. Even "Gatsby" star Leonardo DiCaprio has a film opening, Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," which is set for release on Christmas Day.
Putting "The Great Gatsby" into the summer movie season could curtail any 2013 Oscar nominations, but it will no doubt help the box-office gross. The last DiCaprio film to open during summertime was "Inception," Christopher Nolan's mind-bending and adult-themed drama, which grossed over $825 million worldwide. According to the Los Angeles Times, the decision to move "The Great Gatsby" was done so Luhrmann could complete the 3D effects in a proper manner. The Times also reports that the film will have an all-star soundtrack, similar to Luhrmann's "Moulin Rouge!"
Starring DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire and Joel Edgerton, "The Great Gatsby" will arrive next year.
滬江娛樂快訊：美國時間8月6日，華納電影公司發(fā)布正式通告，宣布原定于2012年12月25日圣誕檔上映的萊昂納多新片《了不起的蓋茨比》推遲至2013年暑期，具體日期則尚未確定。
有意思的是，《了不起的蓋茨比》原本要在12月25日這一天與昆汀·塔倫蒂諾的《被解放的迪亞戈》正面碰撞，而后者恰巧也是由萊昂納多·迪卡普里奧主演的?，F(xiàn)在華納突然宣布《了不起的蓋茨比》轉(zhuǎn)移到明年夏天上映，影迷們一直期待的“圣誕節(jié)之小李雙雄”將不復(fù)存在。關(guān)于本片推遲的具體原因，華納方面在公告里沒有給出明確答案，但是卻委婉地表示當(dāng)初影片制作成3D格式是導(dǎo)演巴茲·魯曼預(yù)料之外的事情，而他對這一過程并不熟悉，為追求更好的效果，電影可能需要耗費更長時間。
