The trailer for director Baz Luhrmann's hotly-anticipated adaptation of The Great Gatsby is here.

In true Luhrmann style, the soundtrack of the first half of the trailer is noticeably anachronistic, with scenes set in the roaring 1920s accompanied by the strains of Jay-Z and Kanye West's 'No Church in the Wild'.

The movie, set to be released in December, stars Leonardo DiCaprio as mysterious millionaire Gatsby, who hosts extravagant parties for hundreds of strangers but is rarely seen in attendance. Tobey Maguire plays Gatsby's neighbour, protagonist Nick Carraway, and Carey Mulligan is his cousin Daisy Buchanan.

Take a look at the full trailer above.
