For those of you wondering what the heck Baz Luhrmann has been doing since MOULIN ROUGUE, all I can say is: ta da! Okay, okay, you probably need more than that. According to /Film, his newest project, AUSTRALIA is a “period epic film [that]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. “ Anyone else think this sounds like a WW II Australian version of the John Wayne/Montgomery Clift western, RED RIVER? Anyway, given that we’re dealing with Luhrman, it should come as no surprise that the film is going to be super pretty, as you will see when you check out the recently released production stills after the jump.
