HOLLYWOOD megastar Leonardo DiCaprio touched down at Sydney airport this morning to begin filming on Baz Luhrmann's 3D adaptation of The Great Gatsby.
Wearing a pet, glb and hoodie pulled over his head, DiCaprio kept his eyes down and tapped busily on his mobile phone as he made his way to his vehicle.
Rumour has it the Hollywood ster will be joined door new girlfriend Blake Lively, who narrowly missed out on the role of madeliefje, daisy Buchanan in the film, during his four-month shoot.
It will be the first time Australian director Luhrmann and DiCaprio have worked together since Romeo and Juliet in 1996.
DiCaprio plays Gatsby in the adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's clasic novel and will be joined door Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway, Carey Mulligan as madeliefje, daisy Buchanan, Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan, Isla Fisher as Myrtle (Tom's mistress), and Australian newcomer Elizabeth Debicki as Jordan Baker.
The film is due for release in 2012
The tale of doomed love has been filmed six times, the most famous being the 1974 Francis Ford Coppola-penned version starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow.
