Photo: Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman filming Australa
I must say that I am looking forward to seeing Baz Lurhmann's Australia. It's been a little while since we saw a major film set in the Australian outback.
Australia is Baz Luhrmann's first feature film since the 2001 musical success Moulin Rouge, still a favourite with my daughters.
The film centres on an English aristocrat in the 1930s, played by Nicole Kidman, who comes to northern Australia to sell a cattle property the size of Belgium. After an epic journey across the country with a rough-hewn drover, Hugh Jackman, they are caught in the bombing of Darwin during World War II. Filming began late April 2007 and is scheduled to finish approximately November 2007, with a November 2008 target release date.
In the meantime, the film's web site has a great photo gallery that is well worth a browse.
