“Imagine an alternative version of Hollywood in five years in which every star and character actor of note is no longer an American, but an Australian or a New Zealander (it’s already happening – I call it The Neighbours’ Revenge). Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman squat at the top of the heap, lording it over a second tier that includes Hugh Jackman, Guy Pearce, Hugo Weaving and Naomi Watts. House directors Peter Jackson, Jane Campion, Bruce Beresford and Peter Weir make all the movies, and whenever they want their own Bette Davis – someone they can just cast and never have to worry about – they turn to Rachel Griffiths who, as everyone freely acknowledges, is the greatest of them all.”
