Well, it looks like Baz Luhrmann’s historical epic, the much anticipated Australia, which has been the main source of news on Hugh of late, has gotten an approximate release date! :)

According to AustraliaMovie.net, filming in Darwin, Australia wrapped up on July 11 (a brief visit it was, I know), after which director Luhrmann held a brief Q&A session at the Darwin Deckchair Cinema, where he announced that the film might be released some time in November 2008. “So if I don’t fall horrendously behind it should be out in November next year.”

Luhrmann further said that filming will continue until November 2007, followed by a year-long post-production period, which means it’s very much likely we won’t be seeing much of Mr. Jackman off the set until November-December. Personally, I can’t tell you how excited I am for this project, though - two of my all-time favorite actors (namely Hugh and David Wenham) in a film directed by criticically acclaimed director Baz Luhrmann! Add critically acclaimed actress Nicole Kidman to that equation and, gosh, does November 08 seem miles away…
