Nic’s movie set damaged by flooding!

The set of Nicole Kidman’s forthcoming flick Australia, which was being directed by Baz Luhrmann, has been unexpectedly flooded to such an extent that Luhrmann has pulled up stakes and moved shooting to another part of Australia. “It’s like rain in the Sahara, it’s as unexpected as that,” the film’s location manager told the Sydney Morning Herald. “But we’re making an epic and if you’re making an epic you’re going to have setbacks. That’s the way [Baz] sees it, I guess.” Because of the flooding, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman have been re-routed to Sydney to shoot some interiors while things get under control. All of this re-shuffling will have a financial impact, the location manager admitted. “There will be a cost involved but we did have to shoot in Sydney, so we’ll go back there and regroup, and wait for it to brown off again,” he said. I think that’s Aussie-speak for dry out.
