Australia premiere
See the stars arrive on Leicester Square's famous red carpet for the premiere of Australia
Australia, the film, premieres on Thursday December 12th at the Odeon Cinema in Leicester
Square.
The time: pre-WW2, the place: Australia, the plot: an English aristocrat inherits a massive cattle station as cattle barons (also English) force her off the land. She must unite with Drover the stock-man to have any chance of moving her 2,000 strong cattle, and the complications don't end there.
Australian Nicole Kidman is the English aristocrat and Hugh Jackman (Formerly Wolverine in the X-Men films) is the rather ravishing Drover.
Baz Luhrman (of Moulin Rouge!, and Romeo + Juliette) writes, with Stuart Beattie, and directs this epic that's all adventure, drama, war, western and then some.
We can't predict which stars will show for their premiere, but your guaranteed to see a few pairs of sparkling shoes floating across the red carpet. (Just to remind you, unless you have a ticket to the premiere you won't be seeing the film which is on general release on December 26th.)
Australia premieres in the evening of Thursday December 12th and you're advised to arrive in the afternoon to get a good peeping spot. If you find you have time on your hands then there's plenty of free stuff to do in the area such as The National Gallery and Covent Garden.
