At the outbreak of World War II an English aristocrat inherits a Northern Territory station in Australia's outback. When cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver to drive two thousand head of cattle across the country's most unforgiving landscape, only to face the bombing of Darwin by Japanese forces.

Here’s the scoop. This is not just the movie chopped up. Back in 2020 while working on the Elvis movie, Tom Hank’s got covid and production was halted so Baz Lurhmann decided to revisit the 2.5 million feet of film from Australia, the making of which was plagued by many obstacles.

This has been recut and reimagined with 30 minutes of footage not included before being added. The ending is a bit different, but the final scene is the same.

Well, hell.

sounds like it is the movie only chopped up, even with your description

grasshopper rex 1 points 1 year ago.

The director thought this made a better product and was worth doing and Hulu must have agreed. I imagine that unless one was a huge fan of the movie or they watched them back to back, most wouldn’t notice the changes.

kameljoe21 0 points 1 year ago.

I have already seen the movie. its unlikely I would watch it for an extra 30 mins. The whole thing is just another cash cow for someone.
How much do you want to bet that in the next year we are going to find some of the longer movies cut up and added another 30 mins to the “movie” to make it a tv show/mini series. Like how many movies did they take and turn into tv shows that lasted one or two seasons. I can think of a few.
This made someone a bunch of money and will make more people money when they cut up another movie.
Right now its playing on a tv in my house to which the person who was watching is now sleeping…. I on the hand am watching something dubbed on netflix and its quite good.

or they did it because of the writers strike, all they had to do was editing

kerfy 3 points 1 year ago.

Got the movie on dvd.. It is one of my favorite movies.. i can just watch it as it is meant to be watched .. anyway ones ses it, it is well worth seeing ..

Alien 3 points 1 year ago.

This is ridiculous. Going to pick up where this ep left off with the movie.

Because it’s just the movie divided into 6 episodes. As for ep. 1, nothing new has been added. Not sure if anything has been taken away. I’m trying to figure out why they did this. I might need Google’s assistance on that point. But for anyone who has watched the movie there’s nothing to see here. But it does stir up a desire to rewatch the movie. The movie is gorgeous! https://www.primewire.tf/movie/946340-australia

NoelCoyotebleu 2 points 1 year ago.

I think this looks gorgeous, and since I didn’t see the movie, I have nothing to compare it to.. Aloha, Hope you and all else is well. Blessings for a peaceful Holiday season. I cant access chat ever, it just disappeared on me. yeah, I clicked the right buttons, asked for help etc. It’s all good because LIFE is a big BUSY machine, and I’m happy with that. :)

Alien 2 points 1 year ago.

That’s just so weird, Noely. I’m sorry that glitch never got resolved. I’m happy your happy!

NoelCoyotebleu 1 points 1 year ago.

so weird! I had my tablet on, and I can see chat from that, but that dang thing is really impossible to do much texting lol Be Well Happy Holidays. We should do a watch party of It’s a Wonderful Life

Wow! I had no had no idea how many people here were bilingual!😂

🤣

Alien 2 points 1 year ago.

This makes no sense. Are they just going to divide the movie up into episodes?

random000 3 points 1 year ago*. 1/5 stars.

Some films get listed as mini-series when they’re chopped up. Might be on purpose though.

hants2 2 points 1 year ago.

this is nothing but the movie hacked in to pieces, It would be easier just to watch the movie

neo 1 points 1 year ago.

I also kept seeing this advertised on tik tok. Very wierd

hants2 1 points 1 year ago.

it’s like deja vu all over again

Alien 1 points 1 year ago.

Yeah, ok, Yogi Berra.

Piglet 1 points 7 months ago.

20 minutes is all I could take! Not worth anymore of my time!

AmieWarren 1 points 1 year ago. 4/5 stars.

I never saw the movie, so I don’t know about it being cut up. The first episode is sort of stupid, but it starts getting good in the second episode. I like Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, and some of the characters are interesting, so I’m going to continue watching it.

AmieWarren 1 points 1 year ago. 4/5 stars. (Contains Spoilers)

IMHO, I’m thinking this is going to be the prelude to a series that starts 15 years in the future, since all of the surviving characters are now 15 years older. We’ll get to see what happened to Faraway Downs without Drover, and if Nullah came back after his walkabout. Maybe Lady Ashley got married and found out she COULD have children. Maybe she had Drover’s child and it’s now a teenager. Who took over Carney, since the daughter and Fletcher are now dead? There are a lot of possibilities for a series, and I’d be up for it.

GeminiSaga 1 points 1 year ago*.

This doesn’t add much interesting scenes to the movie, just a different ending. A Director’s Cut release would have been enough.

kameljoe21 -1 points 1 year ago.

So is this the movie cut up? I am guessing it is.
