To the left is the movie tie-in cover and to the right is the original classic cover drawn by Francis Cugat. He was commissioned to do the cover while Fitzgerald was still writing the book and was a little known artist at the time. To see more of his work, go here.

There was a "Books Recovered Contest" held by TheFoxIsBlack.com, featuring the book "The Great Gatsby". It was held sometime last year, so I cannot enter it. But I did see some covers that I liked and thought I would share them with you in honor of the new film adaptation coming out in May.

"From the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann comes the new big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby. The filmmaker has created his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before, in a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role.

“ 'The Great Gatsby' follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without of the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

"The Great Gatsby" Moved!!!

'The Great Gatsby' moving to Summer 2013

(EW) -- Looks like the mercurial Jay Gatsby will remain mysteriously out of reach for a bit longer.

Warner Bros. announced today that "The Great Gatsby," director Baz Luhrmann's 3-D adaptation of the seminal novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, has been pushed to Summer 2013.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role, along with Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, and Joel Edgerton, the film had been slated to open on Christmas day this year. No specific new date was indicated.

In announcing the change, Warner Bros. president of distribution Dan Fellman lauded Luhrmann's singular visual style. "We think moviegoers of all ages are going to embrace it, and it makes sense to ensure this unique film reaches the largest audience possible," he said in a statement.

International distribution chief Veronika Kwan Vanderberg added that the studio believes "The Great Gatsby" "will be the perfect summer movie around the world."

The film would have gone head to head with Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," which also stars DiCaprio in a supporting role as the cruel owner of a plantation in the pre-Civil War south.

I Can't Wait For Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby"

REVISED: The movie is now coming to theaters in May of 2013.

Here's the original trailer:

"The Great Gatsby, an upcoming 2012 romantic drama film, brings one of the world’s most famous novels to the big screen. Originally written in 1925 by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby became a literary classic during the roaring 20’s, a period of great wealth for the United States. A remake of the 1974 version by the same name, this year’s film will feature the acting talents of Leonardo DiCaprio (Jay) , Tobey Maguire (Nick) , Carey Mulligan (Daisy), Joel Edgerton (Tom).

"Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) graduated from Yale and served in the war, but at the end of his deployment, returns to New York in search of a better life, trying to enter the bond business. Settling into a house near a large mansion owned by the mysterious Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), he begins to develop a taste for luxury. Upon meeting the happy couple of Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and Tom (Joel Edgerton) Buchanan, he believes life might be all it’s cracked up to be here.

"But once he begins to delve deeper into the social circle of these people, he soon realizes their life is not what they show to the world. Tom, an unfaithful husband, has done nothing but alienate Daisy, while Jay Gatsby begins to show Nick his unethical methods of money-making, such as fixing the World Series. To his dismay, when Nick discovers the true nature of these people, murder, lies, and heartbreak seem to be what lie in the horizon."

I remember reading this classic by F. Scott Fitzgerald in high school for class assignment. I might read it again in preparation for this movie. I also remember being disappointed by the ending. But I'm older and wiser now, or more used to disappointment, so maybe I'll enjoy it more this time.

I love all of Mr. Luhrmann's movies (I haven't watched "Australia" yet. Hopefully it doesn't blind me.) I love the way they are done, I love the music and the visual ecstasy of it all! From what I have seen so far, the gowns, the music, the splendor, the fireworks, I just want to live in this movie! I cannot wait until Christmas!

Pictures from the movie:

The guy on the far left (Not Leo or Tobey) reminds me of "the Most Interesting Man in the World" commercials. His name is Amitaph Bachchan playing Meyer Wolfsheim, and as an Indian movie icon he might just be one of the most interesting men in the world!
