We just KNEW that she was the perfect person to contribute to this soundtrack!

As we've reported, Lana Del Rey contributed her breathy, angelic vocal stylingz to the soundtrack for The Great Gatsby, and her new song for Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald masterpiece could be briefly heard in the recent theatrical trailer!

But now, a preview for the track, called Young & Beautiful, has appeared on-line…and it's even BETTER than we could have imagined!

Give it a listen (below)!

GAH! And to think!

If the release date hadn't been delayed adjusted, we'd soon be experience the wonder, glitz and glam of the roaring '20s when Christmas rolled around next week!

Alas!

Instead this holiday season, we're only receiving the SECOND full trailer for Baz Luhrmann's new flick, the 3D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, now set for a May 10th premiere!

But hey! Can't say we're too disappointed!

This movie looks absolutely TERRIFIC!

Ch-ch-check out the preview, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role, Tobey Maguire as Nick Carroway, and Carey Mulligan taking on Daisy Buchanan as they re-interpret the literary classic with the help of musical accompaniment from the likes of Kanye West, Jay-Z, Florence + The Machine and Filter (above)!

And LOOK! They've even fixed the spelling of Ziegfield's Follies!

IMPROVEMENTS have been made, folks!

This is DEFINITELY one that we cannot miss, regardless of when it finally hits theaters!

We have a very good feeling that one of our FAVORITE books will soon become one of our FAVORITE movies!

How about U?? Are U looking forward to The Great Gatsby?!

Damn! Leo is looking all sorts of 1920 sexy.

A new paparazzi pic of Leonardo DiCaprio is making us more and more excited for The Great Gatsby.

Great expectations await this remake of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic but if anyone can rise to the occasion it's Leo (the mature Leo not the Man In The Iron Mask or The Beach Leo)

Plus, Leo's got Tobey Maguire and the sexy Carey Mulligan to back him up!!!

Who thinks The Great Gatsby will start a new Mad Men like fashion trend?

Anyone? U? Anyone? U?

Oh no!

Baz Luhrmann has reportedly been forced to postpone filming his adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic The Great Gatsby and send his cast and crew home for the holidays a day early after he injured himself on set!

And this cast just keeps on getting and better and better.

Baz Luhrmann is hard at work on his 3D adaptation of The Great Gatsby, already starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan, and we've gotten word that another A-list actor is in talks to join the F. Scott Fitzgerald story if his schedule permits - Ben Affleck!

According to sources, the actor is in the middle of preparations to direct his new film, Argo, but if he can coordinate the details just right, he'll sign on to play Tom Buchanan, the husband of Mulligan's Daisy!

Excellent! We really hope it works out - he'd be PERFECT for the part!

We really have high hopes for this one!

What do U think?? Are U excited for The Great Gatsby??

We have our Daisy Buchanan, and a lot faster than we expected!

Filmmaker Baz Luhrmann has just announced that the hunt for the female lead in his adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby has come to a close, and he's chosen Miz Carey Mulligan!

She'll be joined by Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, and Tobey Maguire as the story's protagonist/narrator, Nick Carraway!

Luhrmann explains:

"The results from the workshop process on The Great Gatsby have been very encouraging. There are a few elements that I feel need to be resolved before I would categorically state that this is my next film. Regarding the role of Daisy Buchanan, I was privileged to explore the character with some of the world's most talented actresses, each one bringing their own particular interpretation, all of which were legitimate and exciting. However, specific to this particular production of The Great Gatsby, I was thrilled to pick up the phone an hour ago to the young Oscar-nominated British actress Carey Mulligan and say to her: 'Hello, Daisy Buchanan.'"

Wow. This cast is certainly rounding out wonderfully!

Between Luhrmann (we'll forgive him for Australia), Leo, Tobey, and now Carey Mulligan, we think we may have an AMAZING adaptation on our hands! We're very excited to see this movie made!

What do think?? Are U pleased with The Great Gatsby's casting??
