Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s renowned The Great Gatsby is one of the many highly anticipated films due out next year, and we’ve already seen some great photos from the set back in August and last month.

We’ve now got two beautiful first official images from the film, courtesy of SassiSam via Collider, and they are truly intoxicating in their presentation of the glamour of Fitzgerald’s 1920s Jazz Age.

The Great Gatsby’s official synopsis surfaced back in September, along with a promise to do Fitzgerald’s story justice from Luhrmann, and it looks a little something like this:

““The Great Gatsby” follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway? as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.”

Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the leading eponymous role, with Tobey Maguire taking the role of Nick Carraway, Joel Edgerton and Carey Mulligan? playing Tom and Daisy Buchanan?, Isla Fisher? and Jason Clarke playing Myrtle and George Wilson, and Elizabeth Debicki playing Jordan Baker, Nick’s love interest.

Luhrmann’s anticipated adaptation is set to be released in the States in 3D on Christmas Day, which will see it released directly alongside Tarantino’s Django Unchained, both of which seem to be lining themselves up for the Oscars at the start of the following year. The UK is yet to have its release date confirmed, but we can no date expect it to hit our cinemas either late in 2012 or very early in 2013. Without further ado, here are the beautiful first images from the film. As usual, click to enlarge.
