Baz Is Back!

After seven years, Baz Luhrmann is back with Australia, a splashy, sprawling romance that looks to be his version of Casablanca or The African Queen. As you can see, he's got his John Fords workin' (see: The Searchers).

I like Luhrmann's films, so I'll probably check it out - plus, some of the trailer music is really working for me! Check out the trailer here, and the film on November 14th!

I also like his films, and this trailer looks beautiful.

Did you catch the music cue from Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold"?

I did! I can't figure out what the last cue is, though. I love that one, too!

It's from Kenneth Branagh's Henry V.

It starts a little before halfway through this clip:
