BIOGRAPHY: Baz's parents did Ballroom competitions, thus growing up around the very subject matter of his first three films.
TRIVIA:
- Was among the guests at 'Nicole Kidman' (qv) and 'Keith Urban (I)' (qv)'s wedding.
- Wanted to make a movie about Alexander The Great with 'Leonardo DiCaprio' (qv) in the lead role around the same time as 'Oliver Stone (I)' (qv) made his movie _Alexander (2004)_ (qv), but this project was dropped.
- Son William Alexander Luhrmann was born June 8th, 2005
- His father died the first day of filming _Moulin Rouge! (2001)_ (qv).
- He was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal in the 2001 Queen's New Years Honours List for his services to Australian society in film direction and production.
- Profiled in "Conversations with Directors: An Anthology of Interviews from Literature/Film Quarterly", E.M. Walker, D.T. Johnson, eds. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press, 2008.
- In late 2004, he directed the world's most expensive advertisement for Chanel No 5, a 4-minute short film titled "No 5: The Film" starring 'Nicole Kidman' (qv) (who he worked with for _Moulin Rouge! (2001)_ (qv)) and 'Rodrigo Santoro' (qv). The film ad, about a fairy-tale romance in which Chanel is part of the story but is not what the story is about, cost £18 million and made Kidman a Guinness World Record holder for highest paid actress in a commercial (she netted $3.71 million). Varying length versions of the film ad were shown on television, and - a first for Chanel - in movie theaters. Costumes were designed by 'Karl Lagerfeld' (qv) and a score by 'Claude Debussy' (qv). Kidman wore £17m worth of real gems.
- Luhrmann and 'Catherine Martin (I)' (qv)'s first child, Lillian (Lilly) Amanda Luhrmann, was born in Sydney on Friday, 10th October 2003.
