AceShowbiz - Elton John is set to reunite with director Baz Luhrmann in the latter's movie 'Australia' which will wrap up after 9 months of production this Friday. The British singer may take over the project of penning the soundtrack for the pic.
The pair had been laid on the same sheet when John lent his 1970 single, 'Your Song' for Luhrmann's Oscar-winning film, 'Moulin Rouge!' (2001).
Last week, it was reported that John and his partner David Furnish visited the Fox studio set in Sydney after they attended Billy Elliott musical in the city. The two were then escorted to an exclusive screening room and given a ten-minute assembly of scenes of the pic.
Reports said that Elton thought the movie "could become like Titanic on dry land" and that he would "jump at the chance of writing a love song" for it.
Australia which is set in northern Australia before World War II, is scheduled to arrive in theaters in November, 2008. Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman have taken the main roles slot.
