New artwork for AUSTRALIA!





You have to go back to 1998 when the behemoth TITANIC flooded (pun definately intended) cinemas to find the last great epic cinematic romance. We all know what happened with that film, it became the biggest grossing film of all time, even though GONE WITH THE WIND still holds the record if your not counting inflation, and it tied BEN HUR and LOTR: RETURN OF THE KING with a monumental 11 Oscar wins including "Best Picture." This November, Baz Luhrman (MOULIN ROUGE) will take us on an adventure across the Australian outback along with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman as they drive 2,000 head of cattle over unforgiving landscape, only to experience the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by Japanese forces during the onslaught of World War II. Could this be the beginning of Hollywood's foree back in to big costume dramas? If it was anyone but Baz Luhrman at the helm, I might be more worried, but in any case, these pictures give us a little look into what might lay ahead come November.
