Images from Kidman/Jackman/Luhrmann’s epic AUSTRALIA

When you name a movie after a country the size of Australia - then you better damn well make sure your film is epic as hell.

Thankfully Baz Luhrmann is one of the kings of epics. His productions (too big to be called just films) of Romeo & Juliet and especially Moulin Rouge were marvellous artistic ventures that felt like classical theatre plays that came to life on film.

I expect Australia to be the same. If you were like me and thought Atonement was a vastly over-rated piece of mediocre cinema then keep your eye on this one. It’s not due out till November (probably December UK) but I’m pretty excited. I would take Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman over James McAvoy and Kiera Knightley any day of the week.

  1. I can’t wait! Have been looking forward to a new Baz Luhrmann film since Moulin Rouge!
    Although I would chose James McAvoy over Hugh Jackman every day of the week ;)

  2. Nicole Kidman looks like a skeleton. ick. that’s a big turn off.

    I’d see it for Hugh Jackman though. looks interesting nonetheless
