Great Gatsby for the screen. His books include Wonderstruck, The Marvels, and The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the last of which was adapted into Martin Scorsese’s 2011 feature Hugo. In a statement, Joyce gave a sense of how he envisions his film: Gatsby continues to cast a powerful spell over readers unlike any other book in American letters. Much of the power of Gatsby comes from the enchantment of Fitzgerald’s prose. He created a vivid dreamscape that, to some degree, has eluded filmmakers since the silent era. The previous film versions were constrained by live action, but innovative animation could finally realize the elusive quality of the novel.
