Identify 800 eucalyptus and marry Nicole Kidman

[Tom Dunlap]

Just when trees were going to be the centerpiece in a movie with Russell Crowe and Nicole Kdiman, they pull the plug on the project

In a world where life and love are fragile, a widower named Holland (Jack Thompson) plants hundreds of eucalyptuses as a memorial to his wife. Living in this man-made forest, hidden away from prying eyes, is Holland's beautiful and mysterious daughter Ellen (Nicole Kidman). Over the years, men have tried to woo Ellen, to no avail. One day, Holland realizes he can no longer keep Ellen hidden, and devises a seemingly impossible competition -- the man who can name all 800 eucalyptuses on Holland's property, by sight, will win his daughter's hand in marriage. Men come from all over the land to try their luck. As a brilliant, dashing botanist (Hugo Weaving) approaches the finishing line, Ellen finds herself drawn to a mysterious stranger (Russell Crowe) whose stories of far away places take root in her soul.

Re: Identify 800 eucalyptus and marry Nicole Kidma

It might still be made. From what I read they were having issues with the screen writer who was also the director. Too complex to figure out but I read that there's a decent chance that it might go later in the year. Probably not with Rusty though
