SO IF YOU ARE A FAN OF HIS TUNE IN … BUT SHE WILL BE TALKING
TO NICOLE FIRST.. EVERYONE KNOWS TOM IS OFF LIMITS…

ONLY HER HUSBAND NOW KEITH URBAN

I AM IN LOVE with the trailer… but what if I see the film? I´ll lose my mind definitely. I want to see it… now!

Oh my Lord, Hugh Jackman’s body is hotter than an atomic bomb!!!!!

Oh my god! It must be a new baz’s masterpiece!! I cant wait

wow this actually looks good! you know what it’s the music too, if it wasnt great, the trailer couldn’t be as great too! But man, high jackman is handsome!!!!

This trailer is amazing. I can’t wait to watch Australia. It’s going to be a classic. Love Nicole and Hugh!

ummmmm I dunno about Hugh looking manly.

He’s wearing tight shiny pants and a snug low neck thin knit tee shirt… it’s not exactly what manly men wear.

The best I can say is he’s looking very metro-sexual. One might say his outfit and demeanor are a lot like Peter Allen, the flamboyant song and dance gay man he portrayed on stage.

Beautiful!
can’t wait to see Nicole in this!
she’s going to be brilliant! This is going to be The Best Movie of The Year. Hugh Jackman is awesome. OSCAR AWARDS!

Holy Cow… I am taking a day off of work for this one,the music is Fantastic

it souds great i love nicole and hugh
CAN’T WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

Everything looks right in this movie. Totally love Nicole and I think this time around she is back. Hope she gets an oscar nod for Best Actress and wins too yay why not. I see a ton of nods for this movie. Music sounds great too

the music of this movie is what catches my attention…just like what MILK did

Awww yes I can´t wait for Australia.

love this - looks like a great movie-Hugh Jackman is amazing as usual.Can’t wait to see it

I fucken can not wait 2 see nicole in her new role. it looks like a oscar winner n i know she is goin 2 win the oscar this time cuz she got cheated 3 times befor.

the more I see this new trailer, the more I think this movie deserves an oscar.

He’s really a good good actor, and Nicole Kidman, too

breathtaking trailer

The big bear hug of Hugh and Nicole pulling hugh, that´s just wonderful

thanks GOD! @ 11/07/2008 at 6:01 pm

finally a good movie!!!!

thanks God for Baz Lurhmann!!!

thanks GOD! @ 11/07/2008 at 6:01 pm finally a good movie!!!!

thanks God for Baz Lurhmann!!!

Amen!

Wow. that looks impressive. Hope the story is good. And Nicole Kidman actually looks good again.

I think this movie will be spectacular. There are not to many true auteur directors left in hollywood, and Baz is one of them. I think that this film will probably be his best, because it is a movie about his home. The passion is there for all of the players. People will be very surprised by how well this does( awards/ box office, etc). Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the budget is 140 million and he is not a wasteful director from what I know

I think Australia will be just perfect, Yesterday I watched Moulin Rouge (again) and Baz is a genius; Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman? I’m in! ; )

I have been waiting for this film for so long…I love Hugh Jackman…he is the perfect fit for the role and Nicole Kidman and Baz Luhrmann are a great match as director/actress

this will be visually award winning but as of now i cant say much more about it

Looks to me that Baz has done it again……I wonder what he will do next ??
Looking forward to seeing it

Just the trailer is a massive credit to a fantastic director and two of the World’s leading stars,-I think and hope this will at least see several Oscar nominations

he trailer was stunning. Nicole’s delivery and the script was so good and artistic. enough of the everyone was sleeping, grim, gory and garrishly serious narrations.

The childish-lack-of-word technique justified by the clips and Nicole’s bemused expression makes the trailer so interesting

can’t wait. Hugh Jackman in a sweeping romance I am so there. Looking forward to the steamy love scenes. Hoping it delivers

i am sooo on-board.
i can’t wait to see this movie,
mostly for the NK+HJ cast,
but the movie itself looks great

I can’t wait to see this film. I love Baz Luhrmann, he has been away too long!

It’s in my top 5 films to see this year

Baz Luhrmann is a genius…I can hardly wait for this movie

Can’t wait looks amazing, very epic.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa @ 11/07/2008 at 6:37 pm

I LOVE BAZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Hugh Jackman And Nicole Kidman You Guys ROCK!!! Go Australia!

Can’t wait for the movie! But I think Hugh is actually in LA because he’s co-hosting “a benefit called A Fine Romance” with Catherine Zeta-Jones (yes they are going to sing!).

And Hugh and Nicole are going to be on Oprah on Monday!

what an amazing trailer!!!!!!! @ 11/07/2008 at 9:56 pm

I keep watching this trailer, keep playing it again and again and it still blows up my mind!!! SPECTACULAR! BREATHTAKING! CLASSIC! Australia seems so much to be such a masterpiece! By far the movie with the greatest Oscar potential for this year in almost ALL categories. I really can’t think even one movie that can be compared to this epic-romantic spectacle!!!! The definite winner of the 2009 OSCAR NIGHT!!! I just saw the new Australia podcast about the music composision of the film on youtube and the score seems to be fantastic!! HUGH JACKMAN is the most talented (plus gorgeous) leading man today. NICOLE KIDMAN is simply the greatest female star on the planet. BAZ LUHRMANN is such a genius. The combination of the three is…. Even the words can’t describe this!!

To sum up… THE OSCAR GOES TO…

HUGH JACKMAN for AUSTRALIA
NICOLE KIDMAN for AUSTRALIA
BAZ LUHRMANN for AUSTRALIA

Best Picture… AUSTRALIA
Best Cinematography… AUSTRALIA
Best Costumes… AUSTRALIA

etc, etc, etc………

Gerarld “c ock hat” Butler who???

HUGH JACKMAN IS A REAL MAN! WITH A WIFE AND KIDS!

FINALLY A MOVIE TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY PROUD!!!!

Can’t wait to see it definitely shows what our magnificent country is about, Nicole & Hugh iconic aussies in what will definitely become and iconic movie!

Avec sa fedora ils font tres bon pair avec miss Victoria Aeroport…

Hugh On The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Show, November 20

The movie looks great! The setting, the music, Hugh Jackman, the story seem to be terrific… What a shame that Nicole Kidman is no longer able to use her face though… Pitty… She IS beautiful… I don´t understand why she would do that to herself… Killing her acting skills just to look a little younger… knowing that nobody buys it… Pitty…

He’s to damn scruffy looking he looks like he belongs on skid row

news.com.au report that after the screening tests for Australia, the audience’s opinion about the performances is that they are terrific but it’s HUGH JACKMAN the one who steals the show! Plus, the site reports that the ending of the movie changed from sad to more uplifting because of the bad reviews about it. Here is the complete article from [http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,26278,24621518-7485,00.html] :

” Baz Luhrmann changes Australia’s ending after bad test reviews
By Jonathon Moran November 09, 2008 12:08am

Baz Luhrmann changes ending of Australia
Makes it more uplifting
Hugh Jackman’s character died in original cut

BAZ Luhrmann has bowed to studio pressure and dropped the sad ending to his epic film Australia.

Luhrmann’s initial cut - which ran for more than three hours - ended with Hugh Jackman’s character, The Drover, dying in the final scenes.

After disastrous reviews from test screenings, Twentieth Century Fox executives decided the film’s final moments should be more uplifting.

One test-screening audience member described the film as “an action-filled tragedy” and urged Luhrmann to change the ending.

“If they can tastefully tie this movie up into a solid story, with a nice pace, Baz will have a winner here,” one reviewer wrote. “And there is no reason to kill off Wolvie (Jackman) in this one - come on.”

Those who have seen the film say the performances are terrific but it is Jackman who steals the show.

After intense discussions with studio executives, Luhrmann was persuaded last week to go for a more uplifting ending.

It has not been an easy shoot. The film crew has had to deal with the huge international interest generated by the big-name stars, unpredictable weather in Western Australia and horses being quarantined because of equine flu.

Australia had been due in cinemas early this month, but its release was pushed back to November 26 because of fears it would not be ready in time.

Luhrmann told The Sunday Telegraph he would not compromise the quality of the film.

“I wouldn’t say we are within schedule but it’s possibly within reach,” he said. ”

Personaly, I’d prefer Jackman’s character to die cause I like big, tragic endings when it comes to big, epic, love stories. But that’s just me. What do you thing?

Catherine M. Roushey @ 11/11/2008 at 8:32 am

I was not able to tape Hugh and Nicole’s inverview on The Oprah show here in the USA. Is there anyway I could obtain a copy of that particular show?
