In 2013 , Luhrmann adapted F. Scott Fitzgerald 's '' The Great Gatsby '' , shot in 3D , starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby , Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway , Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan , Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan , Australian newcomer Elizabeth Debicki as Jordan Baker , and legendary Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan as Meyer Wolfsheim . For the film , Luhrmann and costume/production designer Catherine Martin collaborated with Prada , Brooks Brothers , and Tiffany & Co to create period-inspired dresses , suits , and jewelry based on their own archives and true to the book 's own references to luxury brands . The film grossed over $ 353 million worldwide , making it the director 's highest-grossing movie to date . Critic Richard Roeper described the adaptation as " the best attempt yet to capture the essence of the novel ” while Fitzgerald 's granddaughter praised the movie , saying " Scott would have been proud . " The following year , at the 86th Academy Awards , the film won in both of its nominated categories : Best Production Design and Best Costume Design . The soundtrack , produced by Luhrmann , Anton Monsted , and Jay-Z , sought to blend the music of the Jazz Age with contemporary hip-hop as two historical analogues . Featured artists included Beyoncé , Jack White , Lana Del Rey , Sia , will.i.am , The xx , and Florence and the Machine ; the soundtrack also included score from the film 's composer and Luhrmann 's repeat collaborator Craig Armstrong . The album 's sales exceeded expectations , marking the biggest digital sales week for a soundtrack in Billboard history , and peaking at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart
