So what do we know about Baz's next big film?
All I know is that it's set in Australia, has been compared to GWTW (too many times), and stars Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe.
That's all fine and good, but BAZ LUHRMANN!!! It's been a while since the curtain went down on Moulin Rouge (still one of the best films of the decade). I've been eager to see him tackle something new, and the loss of his Alexander (Scorcese and Luhrmann teaming up on that story would have been very promising) hurt this film fan a bit.
So, in short, I am just trawling for more information on his film.
Many thanks,
Chuck

Oliver Stone's Alexander happened. After it tanked though there was talk that Baz might do his Alexander film afterall. It was probably just rumors though.

| I'm also waiting on the proposed stage versions of Moulin Rouge and Strictly Ballroom |
I just finished watching Moulin Rouge about an hour ago. When it finished, my flatmate turned to me and said, "They really need to make a stage musical of that." The thought had never occured to me before, although it seems obvious now. And then I come here and find out that it was once actually suggested as a possibility.

The movie does look fantastic. "Australia" is already considered one of this year's biggest Oscar hopefuls. Judging from that teaser it has a lot of the things that the Academy loves. If the movie proves successful, expect Fox to launch a huge Oscar campaign for it.

Wow. Count me in.
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

This looks to be nothing short of excellent.

Well, despite Kidman's obviously botoxed face, this looks incredible. I hope for the best 'cause romantic epics like this don't come along all that often.
Death to PG-13! And now death to DVNR too!!
