Star Trek: Into Darkness, J.J. Abrams sci-fi sequel, soared above Iron Man 3 to take the top spot at this weekend’s box office, with $70.6 million in earnings.

Though the film managed to rake in an impressive haul, it fell short of the expected $90 million projection despite being reinforced with several showings at IMAX 3-D theaters.  Abrams’ first Star Trek movie opened in early May of 2009 with an impressive $75.2 million on its first weekend without the benefit of 3-D surcharges. | Full Story

The film is the fourth big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel, which follows would-be writer Nick Carraway as he’s drawn into Jay Gatsby’s lavish circle of the super rich, all their excesses, and becomes a witness to obsession and tragedy. | Full Story

Baz Luhrmann is pulling out all the stops for his highly anticipated new movie, The Great Gatsby. The newest trailer features legendary, contemporary crooners like Beyonce, Andre 3000, Lana Del Rey, and Florence + the Machines.

While these musicians are all present day super stars, their sounds still complement the 20′s set period piece beautifully. Florence Welsh’s stirring voice chanting “I can see the green light” is enough to give anyone the chills, while Beyonce Knowles and Andre 3000′s collaboration on Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black is undeniably powerful. | Full Story

I’m extremely concerned for The Great Gatsby. The book is one of America’s best. You might not have caught that when they forced you to read it in high school, but that’s because you were young and stupid, and resented being forced to do anything. Go ahead, read it again.

The newest trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby has finally landed online, showcasing the individual performances of Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan.

Those familiar with Baz Luhrmann should not be surprised with how over-the-top and raunchy the film appears. Everything is lavishly decorated, pristine, new, even to the point of being too much, perhaps — but maybe that’s the point.

The new trailer for The Great Gatsby seems to emulate the same things found in Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge: an extreme focus on the drama. | Full Story
