Why everyone’s worried about the new ‘Great Gatsby’ movie

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2010/11/why-everyones-worried-about-the-new-great-gatsby-movie/66737/

The article talks about how there is a lot of hype for the Great Gatsby movie.  It also says that there are a lot of critics who are against making another Great Gatsby movie.  The author of the article agrees that the film won’t come close to the power of the novel.  The author says “The Great Gatsby” is a novel “thin on story, but incredibly thick with introspection, thoughts” and more.  He also says that the older version of the movie isn’t nearly as good as the book.

My opinion is that it probably isn’t as good as the book, but it’s nice to have a movie so you can see an interpretation of the story.

Why are people so against making another movie?

Does the author think this movie should be made?

  1. To answer your question about if the author thinks this movie should be made is a complete no because based upon the article summary he says that the older version of the movie isn’t as nearly good as the book which shows that he finds more value in what the book has rather than the movie as it might have different perspectives rather than the movie. He might also now want things to change from the book to the movie as he might want people to rather enjoy the book.
