Baz Luhrmann is back. And he has brought Nicole Kidman with him once again. After the roaring success of Moulin Rouge some years back, this December will see the release of his next film, Australia starring Nicole Kidman (OH GOD I LOVE HER) and Hugh Jackman in what looks to be another hugely epic love story, but this time set in Luhrmann’s territory.
The story centres on Kidmans character, a British aristocrat who inherits a HUGE cattle station in the outback of Australia prior to World War II. English cattle barons then come along and mess things up, plotting to take her land. So she joins forces with rough and ready Hugh Jackman who takes her on a cattle drive hundreds of miles across the country. But then the pesky Japanese turn up and decide to bomb everything. And in the midst of all of this, she reluctantly begins to fall for Jackmans character.
By looking at the plot synospisi here it doesn’t seem like anything original. Posh snobby rich woman, has to move to grotty place where sexy man who is opposite of her is working, but she needs his help, discovers his charm, and falls in love. All against the back drop of great horror and harsh reality. BUT, this is Baz Lurhmann behind this. And as Moulin Rouge proved, this is one guy who does not stick to the norm, and judging by the trailer, this looks set to be a giant wopper of a beautifully shot, terrifically acted epic love story with just a little bit of campness.
Check out the amazing trailer HERE
Now WALL*E is out the way, this is the next big film to tug at my softy heart strings. And it looks so very good…
