The Great Gatsby (2013)

The Great Gatsby is the 2013 Australian/American adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel of the same name directed by Baz Luhrmann. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as the title character, with Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Tobey Maguire, Elizabeth Debicki, Isla Fisher, and Jason Clarke. Like Luhrmann's previous films, contemporary pop and hip-hop were added to soundtrack, which would normally be out of place for a film set in 1922. Filming was done in Australia, with funding from the Australian government.

This is the fourth feature adaptation of The Great Gatsby, with the previous film released in 1974.

The following weapons were used in the film The Great Gatsby:

Unidentifiable revolver

The silhouette of Wilson's revolver is clearly that of a different revolver, however, possibly some sort of a Smith & Wesson.

That is not the shadow of the above Webley. The barrel appears to be much longer, and there appears to be an ejector rod under the barrel.
