Gone with the Outback -- New Images From 'Australia'
Filed under: Drama, Romance, 20th Century Fox, Newsstand, Images, War, Nicole Kidman
Some new Australia photos have come by way of a Vogue photoshoot, shot by the legendary Annie Leibovitz -- and they are just the most gorgeous thing outside of the actual film. Normally, I wouldn't post a Vogue item as they hardly need a write-up, but as news on this film is rather scarce, I think it deserves a mention. Plus, everything about this film (even when by way of Leibovitz) is so ridiculously beautiful that I can't resist sharing what I find.
The photos accompany a Nicole Kidman interview about the film which is full of interesting tidbits. There are no spoilers for the wary, just a few more plot and character details. This is one of my most anticipated films of the year -- and as Christopher mentioned earlier, one that is already generating some Oscar buzz for Mandy Walker's cinematography. I'm nominating it for costumes as well -- such crisp lines!
Australia opens November 14th, 2008.

You know, I'm really looking forward to this film. I can't imagine it will be anything short of beautiful and I will enjoy the experience.
After having said all that, I was unhappy with these photos from Vogue. When I see photographs I want to see them in their original form. I can understand using Photoshop to enhance an original, but there's so much cutting and pasting in these photos it's distracting. Hell, if this is the best they can do I'd rather see stills from the film.

I do agree with that! I was honestly surprised to find out they were Leibovitz's photos because they were so obviously Photoshop created.
To be honest...I just really loved the one I posted. :P The entire story was an excuse to post it. I'm shameless!

If those so-called photos are supposed to make me want to see this movie, they failed miserably. It also would have been nice had the story been about a promotion for the movie and not promotion for Nicole.

The photos are classic Leibovitz with that new twist of hers....that hyper-realism that makes everything look a bit like cgi. I'm so there for this film and my hopes get higher with each new installment. Costumes, cinematography, great cast--I think the chemistry between Kidmann and Jackman is palpable. Can't wait.
