We spent the morning wondering why Baz Luhrmann's shooting The Great Gatsby in Australia. For a story so steeped in East Coast culture they sure are a long way from home.  Now there's even more Aussie news—apparently, Gemma Ward's been cast in a "significant" role in the film.

Sydney's Herald Sun is reporting that Ward's join the cast just in time for shooting, which starts next week.  The rest of the cast is, of course, the much discussed Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire and Isla Fisher, so the really significant roles have already been cast and other than extras at the party there aren't any huge roles outside of the five main characters.  The movie isn't listed on Ward's IMDB page, and Ward isn't listed on the film's.

If it is true, the fashion world will have to wait even longer for that long-awaited editorial comeback.
