A bunch of new production photos from Baz Luhrmann’s Australia have been released on the film’s official website. The upcoming period epic film stars Nicole Kidman as Lady Sarah Ashley, an English aristocrat, who is left in control of a cattle station in Australia during World War II. An Australian drover played by Hugh Jackman, with whom she becomes romantically interested, helps to drive the cattle across the property as they are under the threat of nearby Darwin being bombed.

Baz Luhrmann’s Australia will hit theaters on November 14th 2008.

I love Hugh Jackman and the Baz but this movie seems to have a limited potential audience kinda like The Fountain a while back.

I so disagree! This one has the potential to be another TITANIC with its outright romanticism, opulent setting, lush cinematography and gorgeous actors. I can’t wait for this movie!

It looks stupid. I avoid any movie that stars Nicole Kidman because I know I’m going to get the same 2 emotions out of her. She’s highly overrated, in my opinion, and won’t be able to carry this movie.

I am so excited about this new movie Australia. I think Hugh is just the most awesome, spunky, hottest actor to come along in a long time. He can act, sing and dance, you cant ask for more. This role is perfect for Jackman, thats how us women want to see him, in romantic roles. He needs to use that hottness on the big screen. Aside from that he seems to be one of the nicest actors, has a great marriage so, Deb, dont worry. I think all pictures are just wonderful but then I am prejudiced. Love you Hugh.
