Baz Luhrmann's 'Australia' at DVinfo.net

The trailer has just been released:

Not sure what to make of this, something about Nicole Kidman's performances tend to pull me out of movies I watch with her in them. Hugh Jackman's work looks solid as always. That said, the trailer gives you almost no idea as to what the movie's about (other than giving it a time, date, and location).

I hope this is good, though I still can't quite get over how pretentious it sounds to name a movie after a continent/country (James Michener is about the only artist I'll give the benefit of the doubt, as far as naming works after countries is concerned).

What do you guys think?
