Listed below is the cast (which is made up of some of the most talented and famous Australian actors of our time) and the roles they play in the movie as shown on wikipedia:

  • Nicole Kidman as Lady Sarah Ashley, an English aristocrat who inherits the cattle station Faraway Downs in Australia.
  • Hugh Jackman as an Australian drover who helps Lady Sarah Ashley move the cattle across the property.
  • Essie Davis as Katherine
  • David Wenham as Neil Fletcher, a station manager who plans to take Faraway Downs from Lady Sarah Ashley.
  • Jack Thompson as Kipling Flynn, an alcoholic accountant who enjoys a luxurious lifestyle.
  • Bryan Brown as King Carney, a cattle baron who owns much of the land in northern Australia.
  • Brandon Walters as the drover’s assistant Nullah, a young boy who helps drive the cattle for Lady Sarah Ashley.
  • David Gulpilil as King George, a magic tribal elder.

This one is definitely on my list of movies to see as it looks spectacular :)

The release date for the movie in Australia is set for November 13, 2008. Other release dates can be found on the official website.

Just got back from seeing it at the cinema and i have one word to describe it…brilliant :)

They certainly don’t make epic films like this one very often.
