For a brief magical moment, it did seem like a CROCODILE DUNDEE sequel starring Danny McBride and Chris Hemsworth had been filmed under our noses, but it later leaked that DUNDEE: THE SON OF A LEGEND RETURNS HOME was part of a advertising campaign for Tourism Australia set to air at the Super Bowl. Shucks. It likely would have been absolutely ridiculous, but part of me was already anxiously standing in line for my ticket. The latest trailer for the project is the most star-studded yet, bringing out Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie, Ruby Rose, Isla Fisher, Liam Hemsworth, and even Russell Crowe! Still waiting on Paul Hogan, but I'd imagine that they're saving him for the Super Bowl.
The "official" synopsis for DUNDEE: THE SON OF A LEGEND RETURNS HOME:
Crocodile Dundee is back. Well, actually, he’s missing in the Outback. And the only person who might be able to find him is the loudmouthed American son no-one knew he had. Introducing Danny McBride as Brian Dundee. This son of a legend is forced to channel his Aussie roots as he embarks on the ultimate adventure in the land down under. It’s time to live up to the family name.
Be sure to check out the Super Bowl this Sunday (February 4th) for more.
