I'm genuinely intrigued by this, so much so that I need to reread Gatsby again, along with Thompson and Savage's work. I'm imagining someone doing another Gatsby film, with a black lead who is light-skinned enough to play a passing black man, and the very idea of it driving the usual suspects to frothing madness.

Not only is this Gatsby a quintessentially American story, the book itself having "passed" for so long is somehow even more quintessentially American.
