Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman get animated for TV show

Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman are set to get the cartoon treatment in an episode of a hit comedy show.

Seth Green, the creator of Robot Chicken, has revealed plans for a comedic take on Baz Luhrmann's blockbuster Australia, and will feature animations of Kidman and Jackman in the same central roles they took in the 2008 adventure movie.

Former Buffy The Vampire Slayer star Green confirmed the news during a live panel discussion at the Sydney Opera House, Australia, over the weekend (05-06Oct13).

Robot Chicken uses animated action figures to create comedy sketches parodying pop culture through references to movies and TV shows. It has already featured guest stars including Scarlett Johansson, Kevin Bacon, Whoopi Goldberg and Daniel Radcliffe.
