Even as time goes on and new movies are made, audiences still hold onto the classics and their favorites from over the years. Baz Luhrmann seems to know this, as the Elvis director recently found a new way to reimagine his 2008 movie Australia for a new audience. The filmmaker utlilized old footage that was left on the cutting room floor, added it back into the final product, and is re-releasing the project as a miniseries called Faraway Downs. Stars of the film like Hugh Jackman, seem supportive of the bold idea, and the star recently reminisced about his experience making the movie.
Viewers who have tuned in to Faraway Downs may be thrown off at first, as the show features 2008 versions of Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman as the leads. The movie was made over fifteen years ago, but it seems like at least one cast member has been holding onto their "memories" after all this time. The Logan star posted some throwback photos from the Australia set, showing truly how much he enjoyed making the Baz Luhrmann-directed film with his Oscar winning co-star.
