The Great Gatsby' Ticked So Many Boxes

The Biggest Difference For Me Is Momentum. On A Smaller Film You Get To Shoot Sometimes Four Or Five Scenes A Day And You've Got To Do The Tight Schedule. I Think I Really Feel The Luxuries Of A Big Budget Film.

I Have A Lot Of Ideas That I Feel Are Half-formed, Or Half-way Okay.

The Tricky Thing Becomes: Do You Know Yourself Well Enough To Then Portray That On Screen? And For Me, I Find That Really Hard. I'd Rather Hide Behind Accents And Funny Walks.

That's One Of The Great Privileges, Being An Actor, Is That Someone Pays You And Sends You Off To Learn About Something That Otherwise You'd Never Know About.

Whereas 'avatar' And Other Movies Get Shocks Out Of Their Three-dimensionality, 'gatsby' Is Going To Be About Inviting The Audience Into This Larger-than-life Drama, Letting Them Almost Be Inside The Room Rather Than Looking At It Through The Window. I Think It Will Really Work.
