"It could have been three and a half hours", jokes Hugh Jackman about Baz Luhrmann's deeply personal epic "Australia" but, as the Aussie actor concedes, "if you're going to make an old school Hollywood epic - with comedy, drama, romance and action, if you do it in the current norm, you just wouldn't be giving people there money's worth".
Four year's in the making, Luhrmann's "Australia" finally hits Irish cinemas this weekend. We caught up the "X-Man" Hugh Jackman to discuss the pic, the delays and working with Australia's most unconventional director Baz Luhrmann.
"Australia" hits Irish cinemas Friday, December 26th.
