Dialogue pulled directed from the novel and no scenes cut. Shot on 65mm. Two scenes added: The first being a riff on the scene from Baz Luhrmann's adaptation where Carraway looks out the window during the apartment party and sees the city with the trumpet playing. Instead, Carraway will retreat to a fire escape during the party at night and look across the street into different apartments as a trumpeter on a neighboring fire escape plays. Catherine will come out to join him and conversation will ensue. Scene serves as a display of the Jazz Age at its best. The second scene will take place during a party at Gatsby's later in the film. Nick will be in the dredges of drunkenness when he encounters a woman who introduces herself as Columbia ("Like the University?"). They will retreat outside to talk and as they overlook the revelry, she will, over the course of the conversation, shatter his illusions about the Jazz Age (in part, through mentioning the struggles many other people are under and alluding to the coming Great Depression in an almost prophetic way), and serve to help begin his descent into disenchantment. She will walk away and when Nick tries to look for her, she will have seemingly disappeared into the crowd
