There's nothing wrong in principle about resetting an adaptation in a different era than the original work.

If they were going to use disco and rap music, they should have set "The Great Gatsby" in 2013.

It's Baz Luhrmann, the guy who put Bowie, Beck, and Bono on the soundtrack of his 1890s movie Moulin Rouge, and had his chorus singing lyrics from Labelle and Nirvana.

It can be jarring at first, but it's how he does things.
