Over So Soon? Baz & Co Wind Up in Darwin

July 12th, 2007

After a whirlwind visit, filming ended in Darwin last night, with the crew working throught the night to pack up the set.

Last night director Baz Luhrmann wrapped up on location by holding a Q&A at a special screening of Moulin Rouge! at the outdoor Deckchair Cinema.

The 300 attendees had an opportunity to quiz Baz on his creative ideas and film making skills. As we’re increasingly hearing throughout this whole pre-production venture, Lurhmann’s passion and enthusiasm for his work proved winning.

Of course the latest work was also discussed, Luhrmann revealed that he expects Australia to be released in November 2008.

“Filming finishes in November, and post production takes about a year,” he said. “So if I don’t fall horrendously behind it should be out in November next year.”
