The first trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s Australia was just released. It’s below or you can watch it in HD here.
Comingsoon describes the film as:
[...] a romantic action-adventure set in northern Australia prior to World War II. It centers on an English aristocrat (Kidman) who inherits a ranch the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver (Jackman) to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country’s most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.
If I get to watch 2,000 heads of cattle and Nicole Kidman get blown up, I just might see this. Have Jackman shirtless for most of the movie as well, and I’ll definitely see it. I have simple needs. All I ask is that you slaughter 2,000 animals and maybe Nicole Kidman (if you have time) and then bathe Hugh Jackman and bring him to me. Then you may have my $5.50 matinee ticket money. – RoboPanda

Robo-you forgot to mention Nic Cage’s forehead.
Her forehead is the same size as his whole face. WTF!
In Australia, they use Kidman’s face to hit frying pans! DOR SHO GHA!
Australian Cowboys? Well I’ll be, that just puts the vegemite right on my Texas toast.
Isn’t this just an updated version of Far and Away with a much hotter actor in the lead?
Baz Brings out the theater gay in me. Seriously. I loved Moulin Rouge!.
Will there be singing, dancing, homoerotic gunplay? Ballroom dancing? I must KNOW! And cant watch the trailer…
Limp Jazz Hands :(
Damn, I would have bet a bootfull of piss that this was a musical. Now I have one less reason (but still plenty, don’t worry) to hate it.
There Will Be SINGING
I hope this movie is everything that Young Einstein was.
They should have Keith Urban handle the soundtrack to absolutely make sure nobody watches it.
Any movie that involves Australia and doesn’t involve Paul Hogan is like a porno without a lesbian scene.
thank god i cant see this trailer at work, are the words shrimp, barbie, dingo, ate, baby, yahoo, serious uttered at all at least once in this trailer?
wait…no singing…but…Hugh Jackmas sings Oklahoma like an angel I tell you A FREAKIN ANGEL!!!
To keep the authenticity of an Australin movie, they flushed the toilet with Kidmans’ face in it.
jack! singing oklahoma > jackman singin oklahoma
Only three words would get me to watch this:
Kanagroo. Rape. Scene.
Only eleven words would get me to watch this:
Natalie. Portman. will. suck. my. dick. if. i. see. this. film.
At the rate that historical period love-dramas are advancing, I’m fully expecting to see a story of a man and the woman he loves struggling to make ends meet amongst the zeitgeist of Reaganomics.
No indication of Jackman taking his shirt off in that trailer :( but there has to be some semblance of sex scene eventually. Too bad it has to have Nicole Kidman in it.
This doesn’t look anything like the Quigly Down Under remake I was waiting for.
Sometimes I Hugh Jackman makes me feel all Quigly Down Under
Dang it, did I just out myself as Hugh Jackman again? Dagnabit
What are you talking about Al? Jackman attracts the straight women, Kidman attracts the bull-dykes, guys get roped in (pardon the pun) because it has cowboys and bombings.
This movie has something for everyone (to be disappointed in) – Harry Bawls, It Ain’t Cool News.
I heard that Australian was started as a penile colony.
Far and Away 2: The Bejackening.
There can be only 1!!!
Whadayamean Jackman attracts the straight women, Donkey? I sure as shit didn’t go see Kate & Leopold
for Meg Ryan’s hot little body.When The Mighty Fek’lhr strikes His ba’Sin to BONG!!!! a thread, He must make sure that the animal hide stretched across the ba’Sin is very taut.
However, compared to Nicole Kidman’s forehead, a ba’Sin looks like Wolford Brimley’s wrinkly old diabetic ass.
Wolford is Klingon for Wilford.
You forget Erswi, almost everything is marketed towards women or those that like women. The gay men got the Logo network and half of Bravo’s programming in trade.
Here are 5 cats that look like
WolfordWilford Brimley[gatoisland.com];
Diabetiss uses Liberty Medical to control its Nicole Kidminn.
Dont fret Michelle, I too have a thing for the Hugh Jackman. Anyone notice how much makeup it takes for Nicole Kidman to look like she has no makeup on? Odd
Maybe this will be like Van Helsing Two – Electric Stab Kidman in the heart with a stake boogalooo
I have deep admiration and repect for Nicidman. She had the formidable spleen and intergalactic willfulness to escape the vile clutches of Xenu.
…his minions…
…and in particular his magic midget in chief.
AAAAAAaaaaaahhhhhh SHIT!! Happy Victoria day Al. You drunk yet?
Why have we been so nice to Robopanda? I mean, he is like the internet equivalent of a substitute teacher! AND HE SUCKS! HE IS JEALOUS THAT LINCE WENT TO SF AND NOT HIM! LOSER! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!
<shoots spitwads at blackboard when sub’s back is turned. High fives Fek.>
I would have been a lot nicer to at least 50% of my substitute teachers in school had the teacher pointed to a kid in my class and said "this guy is going to be teaching until I get back"
If Robo is a sub, I’m inviting all my friends to ditch into this class and take attendace for kids who aren’t there. Then light a chair on fire. Then drink vodka from water bottle unbeknownst to the sub. Then sneak a tote in the hallway.
Hey, you don’t think the apple with the razor blade in it I gave oboPan was too much do you?
Of course, had he pointed to the teacher’s pet….
Wait, Robo is Lance’s pet? His pet what?
Michelle and Eib blink with Pretzel Dong and Penis Burp written on our eyelids…it doesn’t have to make sense
Ch Ch Ch Chia
Hey, new up, fake black folks
Happy Victoria day Al. You drunk yet?
Thanks Crap, I’m workkin’ on it. I haven’t even gotten dressed yet but managed to empty a bottle and a half of wine so far. For the Queen, of course.
Wait, is that what Canadian holidays are for, Al? I’m coming up there! What’s the next holiday in the Great White Norff?
Yes Erswi, Canadian holidays are all about being nekkid, drinking lots of hooch, and remembering that for some reason we still answer to the UK. Coming up – Canada Day, July 1. Now with 50% more nudity AND FIREWORKS.
