The Great Gatsby

Based On the book by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Great Gatsby is a 2000 historical romantic drama television film based on the 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was directed by Robert Markowitz, written by John J. McLaughlin, and stars Toby Stephens in the title role of Jay Gatsby, Mira Sorvino as Daisy Buchanan, Paul Rudd as Nick Carraway, Martin Donovan as Tom Buchanan, Francie Swift as Jordan Baker, Heather Goldenhersh as Myrtle Wilson, and Matt Malloy as Klipspringer. The film aired in the United Kingdom on BBC on March 29, 2000, and in the United States on A&E on January 14, 2001. Hampered by a limited $5 million budget and hastily filmed in Montreal, Canada, to reduce costs, the A&E television adaptation suffered from low production values, and the critical response to its broadcast was overwhelmingly negative.
