Only if the strike is over by that time, I guess.

I really hope the Australian press doesn't hound this project the way they did back then. It's definitely a tall-poppy scenario. Hopefully an Australian premiere doesn't mean setting it up for failure.

Hopefully they've learnt their lesson but it is inevitable that comparisons will be made with the film. Which by today's standards is a much better product than what has been offered if any.
Also kidman should not attend at any cost, hulu is Disney and she will be hanged if she is seen anywhere near the premiere.

Oh dear, unless they announce a deal has struck tomorrow, she should stay away.

Well at least she's honest.
And I agree it's HARD to connect emotionally to any of Luhrmann's work since Moulin Rouge!, although I watched Australia three (!) times in cinemas at the time of its release and kind of loved it as a guilty pleasure.
I still think this miniseries will be at least entertaining. Maybe not great, not even good, but I for sure will be entertained. I just hope Luhrmann did not edit it like his seizure-inducing Elvis. This man has lost it completely.

i'm pretty sure all this story about Kidman saying she can't look at herself during the screening of australia was denied by her press agency and publicist. Quite sad Variety bring it back again and again. Anyway, i feel so grateful and overjoyed for this second chance 'Australia' is going to received. It's so emotional after all these years come back to faraway down. I was sixteen when it was released. Deeply emotional. Hope you guys are happy too. It's somenthing i would never imagined. I can't wait for a trailer.

I'm very excited as well, it was very hard those days when the film premiered, all the hate and backlash; over the years I've discovered a lot of people that actually loves the film lol with Baz it's always love or hate, difficult to be in the middle with him... I'm on the love side

Don't get me wrong, Moulin Rouge! is the greatest romantic movie of all time and I will die on that hill, but lately it seems like he completely forgot how to portray human emotions and his only concern is how to twist a camera or how to cut a scene in a most crazy way.
Anyway, now that you brought it up I remember how difficult this time really was. She was so insecure in her craft, hounded for her appearance and personal life from every corner, and it seemed like her career was stalling. Ugh that was terrible to witness.

Oh dear, unless they announce a deal has struck tomorrow, she should stay away. They said Nicole will be a guest at the festival, and it seems that she will be there in her capacity as a producer to give a talk about some of the projects of her production company. I doubt that she will also attend the screening of Faraway Downs for promotion considering the strike. âFilmmaker Baz Luhrmann will debut an extended version of his 2008 film Australia, adapted into a six-part TV series called Faraway Downs, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Kidman will also give a talk alongside Per Saari, her partner in production company Blossom Films, to discuss some of their successes, such as HBO's Big Little Lies.â www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-12/what-is-sxsw-sydney-how-to-get-involved/102938006
