DIRECTOR BAZ LUHRMAN CRACKS HEAD OPEN: HALTS PRODUCTION ON "THE GREAT GATSBY"


Still from The Great Gatsby
Ouch! Director Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge) has halted all production on his $125 million 3-D Spectacle The Great Gatsby, due in theatres next Christmas via Warner Bros.  The Aussie apparently had cracked his head on the weights on the end of a camera crane, resulting in Producers calling an early Christmas Holiday for the Cast (including Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan) and Crew, whom are based currently in Sydney, Australia.
