The role for the famous Daisy Buchanan, lover of Jay Gatsby in one of the most loved novels of the century, “The Great Gatsby” is currently being casted for it’s return to the screen. With stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire set to play the male leads (Nick & Jay), the big question now is who will play Daisy. Our girl is being considered for the role!!!!
Another juicy role for an actress, another giant casting call. This time, the part in question is socialite Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann’s sure-to-be-snazzy reimagining of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. The project is already an A-list affair, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire attached to play playboy Jay Gatsby and narrator Nick Carraway, respectively. According to Deadline, Rebecca Hall (The Town) recently read for the role of Daisy, who figures into the story as Nick’s cousin and Jay’s love interest. But Luhrmann wasn’t 100 percent sold and is still looking for a leading lady. His reported short list has plenty of the usual suspects: Keira Knightley, Amanda Seyfried, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson. And apparently there are a few newbies in the running too, like Abbie Cornish, Blake Lively, and — don’t count her out yet — Hall. So who should get the part?
