G is a 2002 American drama film directed by Christopher Scott Cherot. It is loosely based on the 1925 novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The title character, G, played by Richard T. Jones, is a hip-hop music mogul who is looking to win back the love of his life, Sky (based on the character Daisy Buchanan from the original novel).

G made its worldwide premiere on May 10, 2002 at the Tribeca Film Festival in United States. It made its theatrical premiere on October 28, 2005 in the US, more than 3 years from its initial premiere. Since then, it has been released on DVD in Spain, Iceland, and Hungary.

Roger Ebert was lukewarm about the film overall ("I wondered why the clarity of Fitzgerald's story line was replaced by such a jumble of a plot"), and felt that its most interesting aspects were what it had to say about race, class and money in contemporary America.^[1] Scott Foundas in Variety was more positive ("a handsome, compelling drama... that more than stands on its own"), praising the acting and particularly Jones and Maxwell as the leads.^[2] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, G has an approval rating of 29% based on 28 reviews with an average rating of 4.7 out of 10. The website's concensus says "Race and class struggles come to the Hamptons in this reworking of The Great Gatsby with a hip-hop flavor. Unfortunately, too many subplots and a lack of believable characters spoil an otherwise novel concept".
