Check out Baz Luhrmann's latest project, an epic film about the Land Down Under, starring actual Aussies Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman.
Here's the official website, and it has a nice trailer. The flick looks good! The stars look pretty good too, and each will (the moviemakers hope) appeal to the demographic each one is supposed to appeal to. Kidman has her usual delicate porcelain-skinned "I'll spontaneously combust if I step into the sunlight" look, and Jackman is all sorts of rugged manly-man for the ladies to say "G'day" to. I'm also hoping for -- nay, flat-out expecting and demanding --some stunning cinematography of the gorgeous Australian landscape.
The film also looks like Oscar bait, in the same way that "The Soloist" looks like it, but that's just the way things are for the holiday movie season! "Australia" opens on November 26 in the US.
PS: On the movie's website, it asks the visitor to "Choose Your Country." Taiwan is one of the choices. How long, do you think, before Beijing notices and badgers the moviemakers into changing the website? Hmmmmm?
