*Jay Z is rolling up his sleeves for a different kind of music venture. The rapper has been tapped to score the new “Great Gatsby” film.
The news was announced via Twitter when Jeymes Samuels of The Bullitts posted, “Jay-Z and myself have been working tirelessly on the score for the upcoming #CLASSIC The Great Gatsby! It is too DOPE for words!”
In the early parts of 2012, the trailer for the flick featured the rapper’s “Watch the Throne” track, “No Church in the Wild,” hinting that he’d be a part of the production some way, some how.
In addition to all of that, director Baz Luhrmann had been playing Jay-Z’s music on set.
“On my first day he had Jay-Z pumped up full, and we did the entire scene with, you know, Jay-Z in our ear on full blast while acting, and it was just so liberating,” Isla Fisher, who plays Myrtle Wilson, told MTV.

Can’t Hollywood just leave well enough alone. The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite movies. Sometimes things don’t need to be updated.
Since they’ve touched this one. It’s only a matter of time before remakes will be made of Casablanca and Citizen Kane. Shame on it all…
And dont forget that “G” movie that was loosely based on Great Gatsby as well.
