A new trailer for Baz Luhrmann's Australia, starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. This film is looking less and less like the straight up epic I had thought it to be and more along the lines of Luhrmann's other films (Romeo and Juliet, Moulin Rouge!), just in a different setting. I am also sort of digging the faux Explosions in the Sky music accompanying this footage. It shouldn't work but it sort of does.



UPDATE: I can't tell if that is actually Explosions in the Sky on the soundtrack or just some imitation.

UPDATE 2: It is Explosions. This via The Playlist.

Ha! Today is the day of trailers featuring random music that I actually can spot all by myself without someone else telling me. Here, in this latest clip from Baz Luhrmann’s sprawling pre-World War Two epic of gorgeous proportions "Australia," featuring my absolute favourite instrumental band of all time Explosions In The Sky's “The Only Moment We’re Alone," and their songs were also featured in the film version of “Friday Night Lights.” When I heard the track, I thought had it playing on iTunes in the background, but I guess whoever compiled the trailer just has good taste. “Australia” opens in cinemas on the 26th of November, and I am just about popping out of my skin with anticipation.
