Jay-Z’s involvement in the film isn’t a complete surprise, since Luhrmann used the Watch The Throne track “No Church in the Wild” in the film’s trailer.

According to Collider, there have also been reports that Prince and Lady Gaga have also contributed new songs to the film. So, don’t expect a contemporary 1920’s jazz score for the film, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s acclaimed novel.

The Great Gatsby, which was originally supposed to be out in 2012 before it was delayed this summer, is due in theaters on May 10 in 3D. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire.
