‘Australia’ a ‘mammoth task,’ says film’s production designer
By Behind The Scenes TV on Dec 26, 2008 in Filmmaking
Famed for her opulent theatrical style in films like “Strictly Ballroom” and “Moulin Rouge!,” production designer Catherine Martin is probably the last person you might expect to find in the remote Outback of Australia knocking up a film set.
But this is exactly where the two-time Oscar-winner ended up in her role as co-producer of her husband Baz Luhrmann’s latest film,”Australia,” which stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman.
“I am certainly not a girlie girl,” says Martin who worked in the role of production and costume designer on the film, which is the first identifiably Australian epic ever made. But she admits that she was grateful for help with the “mammoth” task of the film’s logistics which she describes as an “eye-opener.”
