First pictures of Baz Luhrmann’s dramatic new flick are just surfacing on the internet now. The pictures are of Hugh Jackman who plays a cattle driver in the movie set in the period prior to World War II.
The plot goes a little something like this (taken from IMDB)
Luhrmann’s film is set in northern Australia prior to World War II and 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.
