Whilst the film’s release date is still six months away, the first trailer of Baz Lurhmann’s Australia is available free on BigPond TV ahead of a wider public release Tuesday 20 May.

“The trailer presents all the elements of a truly epic movie, in the hands of one of the world’s most visionary directors and two of the world’s biggest movie stars,” said Marcos Oliveira, managing director of 20th Century Fox Australia. “We couldn’t be more excited.”

BigPond group managing director Justin Milne added, “Movie trailers are hugely popular online, particularly ahead of the big screen hits, and there is none more highly anticipated than Australia,”

Australia will be released November 13.
