Helmer Baz Luhrmann’s 3D version of The Great Gatsby is going to be made in Sydney later this year reports MSN. Pre production kicks off in March with a planned 17 week film shoot starting in August, followed by 30 weeks of post-production work. The project is expected to result in $120 million in investment income to the state of New South Wales and generate at least 400 jobs during principal photography.
With more jobs generated in pre & post-production.
In a statement NSW Premier Kristina Keneally said "This comes at a good time for the film industry. Australia was thought to be losing international filmmaking due to the strong Aussie dollar - put simply, this is a big win. The Great Gatsby will be a boon for the NSW film industry, particularly given Baz Luhrmann's commitment to maximising use of local cast, crew and visual effects expertise."
Other parts of NSW will also be used during the filming and visual effects and post production work will also happen in the state.
Leo DiCaprio plays Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan is Daisy and Tobey Maguire co-stars as the narrator Nick Carraway will star in the country's first live action 3-D flick.
