Nicole Kidman is currently filming Baz Luhrmann‘s new epic Australia.
Set during World War II, the story follows an English aristocrat named Lady Sarah Ashley (Kidman) who is left in control of a cattle station. With the help of an Australian drover (played by Hugh Jackman), she drives the cattle across the property whilst Darwin gets bombed by the Japanese.
It was originally set to star Russell Crowe in the Jackman role but he pulled out after problems with the budget.
Here are two pictures from the set:
It is currently shooting on location in Darwin, the tropical capital city of Australia’s Northern Territory.
