Making Movie Magic - The Great Gatsby

Director Baz Lurhman faced a daunting task in 2013 when he decided to remake F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. This was made possible by research compiled by the Greater Astoria Historical Society, which Baz and his crew dubbed ‘The Bible.’ It enabled Baz to create a vision of 1920s New York, earning him several Academy Awards.
