Mr. Jeffrey Wells has his hands on a new onesheet for “Australia,” which stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Directed by Ozzie Baz Luhrmann (it’s his first feature film since “Moulin Rouge” in 2003), the film is scheduled for a release on November 13 in its native land and comes out in the U.S., November 26.
So the Aussies get it first, which makes sense, but even the Swedes are going to get it before us (likely anyhow). There’s not much else to add other than: hey, new poster, cool, right?
“Australia,” goes up against “Four Christmases,” that Thanksgiving weekend which makes us a little worried, box-office wise, but we can presume it’ll have a deeper resonance come Oscar time than the Bond flick will. Let’s just say it already: we can’t wait for “Australia,” the trailer is gorgeous (check out this featurette on the cinematographer behind its lush look).
Lurhmann has also directed an ad for Australian tourism which also features, Brandon Walters, the 12-year-old little aboriginal boy who also co-stars in “Australia” that’s been making the rounds.
