Sure, The Great Gatsby stars the walking meme, Leonardo DiCaprio, and his buddy Tobey Maguire but there is a third guy you should really get to know: Joel Edgerton. Trust me on this. He’s sure to be the breakout star of this film, which hits theaters this weekend.
1) In The Great Gatsby, Joel plays Tom Buchanan, husband of Daisy and the film’s main villain.
2) He also rocks some serious jodhpurs.
3) In the film, he’s reunited with Jason Clarke, who was Joel’s co-star in Zero Dark Thirty.
4) Like his director, Baz Luhrmann, Joel is a fellow Aussie. (He was born in Blacktown, a suburb of Sydney. The director was also born in Sydney.)
5) In addition to acting, Joel is also a screenwriter. He wrote the neo thriller, The Square and another film called The Pitch.

After watching The Square, Nash Edgerton's feature directorial debut, and before sitting down to write my review I took to YouTube to watch Nash's eight short films, or I should say seven as his 2007 short "Spider" will play in front of screenings of The Square just as it did at my press screening.
If you've read my review of The Square you were probably able to tell my impression of that film was highly influenced by not only "Spider" but also from Edgerton's seven earlier shorts, all of which I enjoyed immensely and offer here for you to enjoy as well.
If you were to watch all eight shorts it would run you approximately 80 minutes if you watched from beginning to end and it's hard to show a preference to one or another, though two stand out as my favorites. The Pitch is short and quite comical and will...

Below I posted Nash Edgerton's new Bob Dylan video and a couple of people told me they didn't know much about his work. So, here's a primer: First, his bio from the The Directors Bureau: Nash Edgerton knows his craft from both sides of the camera from his work as an actor, stunt performer, editor, producer, writer, and director. Since his short Deadline, which took out the top prize at Tropfest in 1997, Nash has directed a number of award-winning short films, music videos and commercials. The action packed trailer for Tropfest called The Pitch was followed by the horror thriller Fuel, the stunt-driven Lucky and the twisted drama Spider, all shorts that screened to acclaim locally and abroad at festivals including Sundance, Berlin,...
