WATCH: Steamy new Gatsby trailer

"The Great Gatsby" follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings.

THE latest teaser clip of The Great Gatsby has been released and fans can expect some seriously steamy moments between Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan.

The pair, who play two of the literary world's most famous doomed lovers Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan, reignite their relationship after years apart.

"I knew it was a great mistake for a man like me to fall in love, and I just let myself go", Gatsby tells Daisy in one intimate scene.

"I wish I'd done everything on Earth with you", Daisy counters.

The sweeping music, the lingering stares and sexual tension, the exquisite period costumes - Baz Luhrmann's epic film adaptation of Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel looks set to captivate viewers with this tragic love story.

Co-starring Tobey Maguire, Isla Fisher and Joel Edgerton, The Great Gatsby is due to hit Australian cinemas at the end of May.
