With A-listers shooting "The Great Gatsby" in Sydney and "Happy Feet Two" poised to score big, Australia's film and TV business has Hollywood buzzing again.

There's a frisson of excitement around Sydney's Fox Studios Australia, the likes of which hasn't been seen since X-Men Origins: Wolverine wrapped years ago. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire sun themselves during breaks from filming Baz Luhrmann's buzzy remake of The Great Gatsby, while extras -- men in black-tie evening wear, women in exquisite gowns and dresses -- stroll the 1920s-appointed lot.
