Australia is a film that is starred in and directed by Australians and it’s in the wind that it’s Oscar bait.  All this hype and it’s not due out until November 14th.  The film stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman and is directed by Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge) .

It relates the story of Lady Sarah Ashley who has recently inherited a huge ranch.  She makes a deal with a stock man to save her land from being taken over.  The two of them team up to drive 2,000 head of cattle cross country when the Japanese decide to bomb Darwin, Australia. 

While Nicole garnered an Oscar for her role in The Hours and was nominated for another one for her role in Moulin Rouge! it’s been a few years since she’s made anything noteworthy.  Hopefully the team of Nicole and Baz will live up to their past and bring us another winner.
