When Baz Luhrman chose to open the trailer for his upcoming Great Gatsby remake with the dulcet tones of Frank Ocean, it was clear that the Australian auteur would once again not limit himself when it came to choosing soundtrack tunes. This is the man, after all, whose adaptation of a Shakespearean tragedy set in Renaissance Italy was soundtracked by California pop-punk…
…and included this touching version of “When Doves Cry,” for no particular reason:
For a backstage musical set in 1890s Paris, Luhrman cast his net even wider, mashing up the work of greats like David Bowie, Whitney Houston and Elton John until it seemed like the entire pop canon was on the soundtrack:
So then, with that in mind, which artists would you guess Luhrman chose to soundtrack his tale of glitz and decadence during the Roaring Twenties? Gatsby actress Adelaide Clemons has the scoop:
Some pretty huge artists have approached Baz and are writing songs for the film, and I don’t think Warner Bros. are going to turn down Prince and Lady Gaga knocking down your door.
Prince and Lady Gaga, you don’t say! Somehow we think this will all work out just fine.
