Baz Luhrmann has officially cast Carey Mulligan to play female lead Daisy Buchanan in an upcoming adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic, The Great Gatsby. Also starring is Leonardo DiCaprio who will play the main lead of Jay Gatsby, and it's rumored that Tobey Maguire will play Gatsby's friend, Nick Carraway.
I have a little itty bit of a girl crush on Carey because I think she is such a fantastic, understated actress. And you know what? She's just such a lady. Not too many of those out there in Hollywood today. I think she'd be perfect as Daisy. I can't wait to see how this turns out with Baz at the helm. It's very appropriate, actually. The Great Gatsby is such an iconic, classic literary piece, and the era and social climate it takes place in will look phenomenal on camera. Can't wait for Carey!
