Australia Re-Shoots in August

July 25th, 2008

Recently in a surprise appearance our resident Drover attended Comic-Con in San Diego to promote his forthcoming film Wolverine. However many astute fans observed that the Australian’s appearance seemed to resemble another movie he’d been shooting earlier this year, namely, Australia. Access Hollywood caught up with Jackman at Comic-Con and found out some interesting news.

Weeks after giving birth to daughter Sunday Rose, Nicole Kidman is already preparing to go back to work. According to her Australia co-star, Hugh Jackman, Kidman is heading back to the set of the epic film.

We are doing a little bit of re-shooting in a couple of weeks so she is sort of back to work finishing off the film,” Jackman told Access Hollywood at Comic-Con 2008 in San Diego on Thursday.

Jackman said he is happy for his friend’s baby news, but explained that filming on the project, directed by Baz Luhrmann, was tough during her pregnancy.

“I am beyond happy for her. I mean she is a amazing woman. She’s been a great friend of ours for a long time,” Jackman told Access. “To have this moment is just thrilling. It wasn’t always thrilling for her while we were shooting in Australia, let me tell you!”

Kidman was forced to withdraw from several action scenes on set due to her pregnancy – and it was her withdrawal and several other intense moments that helped Jackman figure out Kidman’s special news.

“For the last month, I remember she said, ‘I have to tell you I am not riding the horse,’” Jackman recalled. “She did all the riding and all of a sudden, in the last few weeks, she wasn’t riding a horse at all and I said, ‘I think I know!’ She goes, ‘Really? How did you know?’ I said, ‘Well, the fact that you were throwing up almost between every second take kind of gave it away.’ She goes, ‘Really? Do you think everybody knew?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah!’”
