Aussies and Kiwis may entertain a friendly rivalry, but in secret, the countries of Australia and New Zealand have joined forces to overtake Hollywood. This coupe has been in the works for years — slowly but surely actors and filmmakers from Down Under have gained an ever-strengthening foothold in the industry.
In recent years, the takeover has escalated to the point where Hollywood may have to consider changing its nickname from "The Dream Factory" to "The Dream Factory That At Least Isn't a Ridiculous 21-Hour Plane Ride Away." In honor of these conquering heroes, Premiere takes a moment to reflect on Down Under's greatest contributions to film. Can we get a "G'day"?
