Alternative Great Gatsby posters

When you put Baz Luhrmann in the director's chair, you can be sure of at least one thing: eye-popping visuals. The acclaimed director of Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet returns this month with his 3D tribute to F Scott Fitzgerald's iconic novel The Great Gatsby and to celebrate the release, we've invited some of our favourite artists to provide their exclusive poster designs.

No pressure though, given Luhrmann's visual splendour. No pressure at all.

You can see the excellent posters underneath and the artists at the bottom.

The Great Gatsby hits UK cinemas on May 16
