[edit] Article for deletion

I'm tempted to nominate this article for deletion as per Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. IMDB lists the title of the film as "Untitled Baz Luhrmann Project". The film is given the title Australia here though so it may hold some truth. -- Longhair\talk 10:26, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

There are plenty of articles supporting the title of the project. Internet Movie database isn't definitive and hasn't been updated yet. As in the article, the name was announced on television and the name is backed up by the reference articles. Peter 13:15, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Peter is correct. This is a very high profile project which has been widely reported in the media, due in part to its high budget and various casting controversies. The film has been "green lit," which means the funding is approved and financing locked. Peter is also correct that IMDb is a weak source on film information -- that site is primarily for nonindustry amateurs and includes mostly secondary information. Variety, which is a primary source, has reported on the project repeatedly, including a front-page story as recently as November 22, 2006, about start of principal photography in three months. When a film is three-months away from principal, it's a happening thing. Carmela Soprano 18:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Red River (film) + Pearl Harbor (film) == Australia (film) ... watch me jump to go see this one. Jachin (talk) 21:03, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
