Australia's hope for Luhrmann multi million dollar epic movie., and
multi million dollars advertising campaign ,is hoped to help undo the
damage inflicted on the Australian tourism industry by drunken White
christian racist criminals bashing people up if they look too brown
too Asian too Middle Eastern or Muslim

Tourism Australia, the national tourism board, has launched a $26
million international advertising campaign based on the movie,
highlighting the wilderness of Western Australia state and encouraging
tourists to refresh themselves by getting away from bustling cities
and their busy daily lives.
..
The movie was redone to include some aboriginal people in it despite
complaints from white Australians , to appeal to over seas tastes in
the advertising material they like to see some "brown people" in
Australia pictures
..
Various tour operators have begun offering tours of the Kimberley
region in connection with the movie, and the state of Western
Australia has begun its own $1.4 million tourism campaign of cinema,
print, online advertisements and in-flight television.
"We want to make sure that moviegoers who are inspired to visit the
region know that it's actually WA's stunning landscapes and outback
adventure they're longing for," state tourism minister Liz Constable
said in a statement last week.
..
The Northern Territory, where Darwin is situated, has also launched a
$393,000 tourism campaign in the wake of the movie, touting the
territory as "the real outback."
Northern Territory Chief Minister Paul Hnderson said the movie "really
is going to put us on the map."
The national tourism campaign, dubbed "Come Walkabout," includes two
commercials directed by Luhrmann, an Australian. The commercials,
broadcast in 23 countries, feature busy professionals who are visited
by a young Aboriginal child who sprinkles red dust into their hands.
"Sometimes, we have to get lost to find ourselves," the child
whispers. "Sometimes, we gotta go walkabout." The overworked
businessperson is then transported to a moonlit picnic under a baobab
tree, or a refreshing swim in a billabong.
Tourism will continue to decline now that visitors can google up to
read what White Australians are really like and how Australian police
never arrest them , its not worth paying thousands to be bashed by
white supremacist drunken Aussies

Australia is putting on its best cinematic face for an epic movie
which it hopes will revive its struggling tourism industry and
replicate the so-called Crocodile Dundee effect, which saw thousands
of international visitors heading to this far-flung planetary corner.
Australia
Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman's onscreen romance is a true crowd-
pleaser
Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the creative genius behind Strictly Ballroom
and Moulin Rouge, Australia the movie - premiering in Sydney on
Tuesday - showcases the country's best-known stars and most jaw-
dropping landscape.
On top of that, the movie is that most genuine of rarities in the
Aussie cinematic canon: an extravagant, big-budget, blockbuster of a
film - in fact, 10s of millions over big-budget, if the production
rumours are to be believed.
Luhrmann is known throughout the industry as the most exacting of
perfectionists.
In recent weeks, the 46-year-old Oscar-nominated director has been in
a frantic race to complete this homage to the land of his birth, with
regular requests to the studio, 20th Century Fox, to push back the
release date.
Rumour factory that it is, the whispers out of Hollywood are that the
original ending of the film did not test well with trial audiences,
because it failed to end on an emotionally uplifting note.
The film brings together some instantly recognisable Australian
talent. Hugh Jackman plays the male lead, a rough-hewn cattle drover.
Nicole Kidman plays the object of his desire, a feisty English
aristocrat, Lady Sarah Ashley.
Set on the eve of World War II, and filmed against the sundried
backdrop of Western Australia and the Northern Territory, it recounts
the story of Lady Sarah.
She makes the long journey to Australia having learnt she has
inherited a suitably massive swathe of land.
Baz Luhrmann
Baz Luhrmann's film has already won the admiration of Oprah Winfrey
The couple, of course, fall in love, offering just the kind of
improbable riches to rags romance that's sure to be a winner.
In a country that is surprisingly needy of international recognition
and validation, much is riding on Australia.
The tourism industry is hoping it will essentially become a feature-
length advertisement: that Australia, the country, will become the
real star of Australia, the movie.
The most recent Australian global tourism campaign, which asked:
"Where the Bloody Hell Are You?," was deemed something of a disaster.
Overseas visitor numbers dropped 7.6% in September, and have been
stagnant for the past couple of years.
So Tourism Australia has launched a tie-in global advertising
campaign, with the catchline Come Walkabout.
So far, the pre-release buzz has the kind of electric crackle that
illuminates the faces of producers and promoters.
Oprah Winfrey has been shown a rough-cut edit, and proclaimed it a
delight - the most useful of endorsements, as America's incoming
President could attest.
She did not hold back when Lurhmann appeared on her show:
"Congratulations on your imagination, your vision, your creativity,
your direction. Our hearts are all swelling because, my God, it's just
the film we needed to see."
Australia opens in the UK on 26 December. |
