Yeah, Nick's a callow youth who gets bedazzled by Gatsby's life.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
do you know who I envision as Nick (but he would need to be a bit younger)? Matt Bomer. I think he could do Nick really well.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
JGL?
To quote Rihanna in the Battleship trailer, BOOM.

Well JGL could come close to carrying that look off.

Matt Bomer is an excellent suggestion. Sharp suits and yearning? Oh yeah, he can do that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Tobey Maguire is the one major weak spot in that trailer. I don't understand why people keep casting him in period pieces, he looks and sounds ridiculous in them.

I saw a trailer the other day for a period piece about moonshiners, called Brothers, I think. It starred Shia LaBoeuf and he looked utterly out of place. Also, he's just not old enough to carry that role.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Yeah, Jilli, I do want to hit him until he talks like a normal person, and then maybe a little more.
Oh good, then it's not just me. ita !, will you be my designated hitter? I know you know how to throw a punch, unlike me.

THIS! It's like when Keanu kept getting cast in costume dramas. Why was he in Dangerous Liaisons, why? Or Dracula?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

will you be my designated hitter?
Oh, I got your back.
If I were making my movie come to life, gravitas would be high on the list of things I'd get OCD about it, and that's something neither Shia nor Tobey have convinced me of, ever. Like, even if the movie were a comedy, I'd still want to know everyone above the fold had the capacity for gravitas. It's just a thing.
Some people's continued employment boggles me.

I think it is because of his physicality. I recently rewatched Dangerous Liasons, and he does this beautiful puppy dog head thing with John Malkovitvh, and he is just so innocent and sweet and sensual. then he opens his mouth.
Tobey Maguire I got nothing. I saw him in Cider House Rules and thought his lack of affect in his voice was brilliant. Then I realized it was just his voice! And it makes me want to kill him.
