Ben Affleck in Talks for 'Great Gatsby'
Source: Deadline
Ben Affleck is in talks to join the cast of Baz Lurhmann's 3D adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic 'The Great Gatsby'. If cast, Affleck would be playing Tom Buchanan, the philandering husband of Daisy Buchanan (the object of Gatsby's affections). Affleck would join Toby Maguire will plays the main protagonist and narrator Nick Carraway, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who will be playing Jay Gatsby, the wealthy eccentric who is in love with Daisy. The novel follows Carraway as he gets swept up in the wealth and lavish lifestyle of Gatsby during the Jazz age.
Affleck is currently prepping to direct the 1979 Iran hostage crisis film 'Argo', which may cause some scheduling conflicts for the actor and ultimately determine whether or not he takes the role. Filming for 'The Great Gatsby' is planned to begin in Australia in August and will last about 17 weeks.

Well I have stated before in other threads. Being that this is based on a play/musical/book the stages have already been set up for something like 3D. I saw the metropolitan opera 3d show and that was fantastic.
But yeah I would not say the book sucks, more like it is an acquired taste just like Le Mis.
Books/Plays that would make better 3D movies
Play Version of The Wizard of Oz
Movie Musical of Jekyll and Hyde
Movie Musical of Dracula
A Majorly Updated Jesus Christ Superstar
West Side Story
Street Car Named Desire
Fuck it why not The sound of Music
And coming soon Spiderman The Musical

Personally, I can't see how this material would benefit from or even be compatible with the use of 3d. Plus, I absolutely abhorred the book. I hope the movie fails.

Ewww - seriously - Paul Rudd? That was a terrible version of this movie (IMHO) though I've liked him in many other things. This is one of my favorite books and I re-read it every few years. The 3D is complpetely ridiculous but man candy like Leo & Ben would definitely bring me and my friends to the theater! I think they are both well suited for the parts and Toby is nerdy enough and enough of a patsy to play Nick. I expect it will be interesting if nothing else...

What's wrong with the original film adaptation? It was actually a great movie, and showed that Paul Rudd can act in films that aren't comedies.

Two books/plays/musicals that have not made good movies in the past are Le Miserables and the Great Gatsby. I personally hate most of the songs in Le Mis but what ever. I still say they are too long to be made into a good film. They would also have to do some re writes because they are both kinda boring.

Affleck seems like more of a Gatsby than DiCaprio. The two actors seem like they should swap roles. Affleck has more of that old-timey bad boy look while DiCaprio has that old-timey detached husband look.
