Wolverine can't die!

Its crunch time for Baz, somewhere right now as you read this he is sitting in a caravan cutting and pasting bits of film together, swearing at himself but more importantly swearing at the suites at 20th Century Fox.

Well its those suites who have him sweating over the ending of his new film Australia.

Just a little warning before we continue, a possible ending of the film is revealed below but chances are 20th Century Fox will have it chopped and changed before the film is released.


3 months ago screen tests were held in a Chicago shopping mall showcasing from beginning to end the film Baz wanted to release, but apparently the mum's and dad's who watched didn't like one small facet of the films ending.

See Hugh Jackman is adored by many, in fact so many that 20th Century Fox argued relentlessly with Baz Luhrmann that Hugh just cant end up 6 feet under ...

Baz is notorious for unhappy endings, in an industry that likes to play things by the book, Baz thinks otherwise, and he had thought otherwise up until mum's in Chicago had to explain to there young ones that Wolverine was not dead, he was just having a nap ....

The talks between Luhrmann and the various suits at 20th Century Fox, which has wagered $US130 million on the most expensive Australian film of all time, were described as "intense".

You can see why. With just 15 days to go before the film's release, no one has seen a finished print! So if your sitting in a cinema and see a sweaty man in Armani in the back row, his job is probably riding on the films ending.

Either way, don't threat too much, chances are both cuts will be on the DVD release, but if the shopping mum's of Chicago are anything to go by then Hugh may just live to cattle drove another day ....
