Great expectations ... film director Baz Luhrmann thinks Jay-Z is perfect man for the
job
RAP superstar JAY-Z is undoubtedly one of the most influential men in the US at the
moment.
His fingerprints are all over most of the best hip hop in the charts and he even helped his buddy
BARACK OBAMA get re-elected last month.
But not content with his already considerable sway over the nation, he has now headed to
Hollywood to have his say in the movie industry.
He is the musical supervisor on upcoming LEONARDO DICAPRIO flick The Great Gatsby –
an adaptation of the 1925 F Scott Fitzgerald book to be released in the spring.
The movie is based in 1920s New York but director BAZ LUHRMANN wants to set it to great
modern music – like he did when he teamed up with Leo on 1996 smash Romeo + Juliet.
So he has signed up Jay-Z to oversee the soundtrack to feature tunes from the New York
rapper and other hot new talent chosen by the pair.
Perhaps we should start calling him The Great Jay-Z.
