OlderNicole Kidman Premieres Australia in Australia
Australia natives and costars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman (in made-to-measure grey Ferragamo) attend a photocall prior to the world premiere of their new outback flick, Australia, at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Tuesday in Sydney, Australia.
The film was directed by Baz Luhrmann, whose Red Curtain Trilogy DVD box-set I am very proud to own. Movies include: Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet and my personal fave, Moulin Rouge.
DO YOU PLAN on seeing Australia when it comes next Wednesday, November 26? Just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday!
Fun tidbit: Nicole and Hugh both own homes in the same New York City apartment complex. One lives just below the other! You can bet their kids will be having many play dates together. Cuteness overload!

Sorry, it isn’t the premiere! It’s the press-photoshoot.
I like him but she’s so botox out. Many reviews are not good too with complains its tooo long and doubts if Kidman can pull out of her box office curse.

Slicked back hair, a simple dress, and no accessories.
This is a beautiful woman who understands that style is innate, timeless, and cannot be purchased.
This is how to wear a strapless white dress!

Dear Fake Dancer: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. However, I’m not as illiterate as you so this makes it fairly easy to guess who you are based on various threads you post on and then imitate me!.
Nicole does look absolutely stunning! Great dress, great hair. Beautiful.

Kidman’s face, skin, and body are beautiful for a woman of 41.
Kidman has no discolorations, no deep lines, and good skin tone. None of these can be faked. Diligent skincare and the apparent use of sunscreen have minimized fine lines and creases. Natural aging has caused the fat pads in her cheeks to slide down causing a fuller lower face and the beginnings of jowls. That is the marked difference in her appearance and is more pronounced in those with narrow jaws or thin oval faces. In layman’s terms, it creates a bit of a chipmunk effect when smiling.
It’s obvious Kidman’s middle has increased due to childbirth, but her fitness level has continued to keep her tight and toned.
The lack of fullness in the upper thigh area and her narrow hips offer little balance without an even smaller waist
In all, for Kidman to have maintained her figure and skin tone to this degree at age 41 required discipline and regular exercise. There is very little a doctor can accomplish in a few minutes a year, other than the odd chemical peel for clarity.
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!
SEXY-TRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE’S PERFECT….
SHE’S LIKE A QUEEN….
WELL…SHE’S THE QUEEN OF HOLLYWOOD!

I loved reading your post.
However, it was better the first time, when I wrote and posted it last week on Forehead.
If you’re going to copy paste from another site, you need to use quotation marks and list the source. Me.
many Women in hollywood use botox so what ,This botox-thing getting really boring Even if she’s full with botox, who cares? And hmm…isn’t it absolutely her business?
It is not our business to judge that and who cares about such shallow subjects?
by the way the Review was
its good but to long what did you Expect its 165 minutes in the end of the Review he said (If only Baz had made the damn thing shorter by at least half an hour) so he dont like long movies
another Review was
(Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman shine in Australia)
watch the movie and then Judge yourself !!!!!
Luhrmann’s epic succeeds in the end
BAZ Luhrmann’s Australia is intermittently brilliant, largely good but ultimately erratic.
Luhrmann’s three co-screenwriters haven’t managed to produce a cogent tale.
Rather, Australia is four films that incredibly tie together for an affecting final scene that makes up for its prior indiscretions.
The key story is the romantic tale between Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman) and “Drover” (Hugh Jackman) but there is also a hokey western featuring a nefarious cattle baron (Bryan Brown) and his henchman (David Wenham); a war film, in which Darwin is bombed by the Japanese with some not entirely convincing special effects; and, most winning of all, a story about the search for family.
The film opens with a gorgeous prologue set in a billabong and introducing the film’s best asset, the narrator Nullah (10-year-old Brandon Walters).
Then it lurches into 15 minutes of crazed story establishment that recall Luhrmann’s worst excesses on Moulin Rouge.
Eventually the film settles down with a captivating cattle drive in which Kidman and Jackman build a believable chemistry and Mandy Walker’s cinematography makes a strong play for an academy award nomination alongside Catherine Martin’s art direction.
As Drover, Nullah and Lady Sarah fend off all manner of catastrophe, Luhrmann struggles to balance the competing interests of drama, comedy, romance and scale.
The dialogue is inconsistent yet the three leads, Wenham and David Gulpilil, as the Aboriginal elder King George, elevate their scenes by force of charisma.
Americans are sure to embrace this exotic, novel tale set in a faraway land. Australians may be a little more cynical as the film’s laboured storytelling appears designed for international audiences.
Nevertheless, Kidman and Jackman are better than any Australian cynic would have feared and Luhrmann has again created a spectacle that can only be appreciated on a cinema screen.
Luhrmann has come close to matching his outrageous ambition. If only the story was settled from the start.

Australia almost lives up to the hype
Right from the outset, Australia is every bit the sweeping epic in the tradition of Gone With The Wind and Out Of Africa.
Nicole Kidman says this is the film she has wanted to make all her life, and she looks more natural and at home in this role than any other.
As Lady Sarah Ashley, an English aristocrat who inherits an outback cattle station, Kidman shows off her comic acting skills to great effect for the first 20 minutes of the movie.
Luhrmann puts his unique stamp on the film in the opening sequences, which recall the wackiness seen in his previous works, such as Strictly Ballroom and Moulin Rouge!
As the movie progresses, lightness gives way to more serious themes of love, loss, the stolen generations and war.
The film opens with an explanation of the stolen generations and closes with a note about the prime minister’s apology this year.
The bombing of Darwin in World War II is spectacularly recreated.
But it’s not all gloom and doom.
Hugh Jackman’s rugged Drover is sure to win over female fans, thanks in part to a scene where he pours water over his naked torso.
While Jackman and Kidman are convincing as the unlikely lovers, the most touching relationship is between Kidman and 13-year-old Brandon Walters who plays Nullah.
Walters, in his depiction of the orphaned half-Aboriginal, half-Caucasian Nullah, steals the show.
The breathtaking scenery is beautifully shot, with one standout scene featuring thousands of cattle stampeding towards a cliff.
The film is unreservedly Australian, filled with “crikey” and “bloody” and rough outback blokes, but it descends into Hollywood cheesiness at times in some of the dialogue and scenes.
For Australian and international audiences, there is plenty to enjoy in this film, but whether it is the saviour of the local industry, or the Gone With The Wind of this era, remains to be seen.
Australia opens on November 26 nationally
iam gonna watch it for sure
beautiful pair:)
definitely seeing it, hopefully its romantic :D
she looks gorgeous. she probably had botox but she still looks pretty. the white dress really flatters her. hope this movie does well. its been overly- hyped. did she change her hair? it looks different in some pix.
so classy and chic with the High heels, great choice from her
not the premiere that is the Press conference just jared
Oh, please! She looks HIDEOUS! (Look at pic #3.)
you should wear glasses
#46: How long did it take you to come up with that retort?? Your intelligence is mind-blowing (as is your eyesight)!
That dress is a bit much for the occassion. Keep the jacket on & don’t raise the arm too much or it will fall down.
Nicole is looking radiant. Absolutely stunning.
She shows Gweneth Paltrow how class wears a white dress.
Does anyone else think she has the inner self satisfied, happy glow of an already pregnant lady?
I like Nicole but damn she looks like a granny with this white hair, and she got that limon-drink face-look like Rene Zellweger , too bad she f*cked up her face with that poison, she looked better in the 90’s, but now my goodness, she truned bad.
She looks lovely, but Hugh Jackman steals the show. He is gorgeous …can’t wait for the film.
Hugh is very handsome man!!!!
Why is this crazy woman still holding her stomach, like she did when she pretended to have a baby?
This film will be the Ishtar of our time. It is going to be a catastrophic flop. I’ve heard that they had to hire an animation company to literally draw expressions on Nicole’s face, which she can no longer move.
the dress is pretty, but she should not be wearing it. her skeletal chest is unattractive and unappealing to look at in this dress. where have all the freckles gone? oh no - they gave her a mic again! did she shite all over herself again. this woman is as intelligent as a box of rocks!
u’r the CRAZY ONE, highly deluded with no life, jealous u live a miserable LIFE at ur age yet someone young enough to be ur grand child is successful, highly talented and beautiful, i know it must be hard for u living like a SCUM n seeing others SUCCEED but do not take it out on her, it’s not her fault wen ur mates were working hard u were busy getting laid (TA*T), plus not everyone is SHAMEFUL enough to PULL A TOMKAT, when a FAKE BIRTH CERTIFICATE is produced for SUNDAY ROSE den u can talk but until den keep ur STINKING GUB shut cos u sound INCREDIBLY BRAIN DEAD
she looks WOW!!!!
WOW!!!! lovely to see someone in a fitted knee dress with slim, long n lovely legs unlike my MUM’s TREE CHUNK LEGS

@ to Kitty Kat#:
you’re so wrong —all of the can be faked…it’s call lasers remove discoloration, botox erases lines, and skin tone is augmented with lasers as well.
you’re blind or nuts if you think she hasn’t done all these things:
http://s211.photobucket.com/albums/bb221/emkuphotos/?action=view¤t=07781_Nicole_Kidman_-_World_premier.jpg
she’s so botoxed she can barely smile, and then there are the tell-tale deep wrinkles on the side of her nose that you can see and have cropped up because they are the only muscles not botoxed and free to move when she laughs or smiles…pathetic. AGE you stop it anyway, you’re never as again as you are today so get over it!

IF she had botex….so what? But, Nicole is very fair skinned and has taken good care of her skin and body plus she probably has good genes.
She’s also a classic beauty and will probably age nicely.
I would like to see a photo of her baby, Sunday Rose!
No I would’nt waste my money on any movie kidman was in
she’s very beautiful!
Sure that she has acted very well and give her the Oscar!
In moulin rouge would have haver win the Oscar
