WELL, this is an interesting pairing... rap and Gatsby.
Hip Hop artist Jay-Z has been confirmed as executive producer for The Great Gatsby soundtrack, where he will also contribute original tracks.
The collaboration was sparked when the film’s star Leonardo DiCaprio introduced Jay-Z to director Baz Luhrman.
Jay-Z said in the statement: "As soon as I spoke with Baz and Leonardo, I knew this was the right project. The Great Gatsby is that classic American story of one's introduction to extravagance, decadence and illusion.
"It's ripe for experimentation and ready to be interpreted with a modern twist. The imagination Baz brought to Moulin Rouge made it a masterpiece, and Romeo + Juliet's score wasn't just in the background; the music became a character. This film's vision and direction has all the makings of an epic experience."
Australia will get to see how Gatsby's 1920s world looks set to an R'n'B soundtrack when the film is released on May 30.
