A Trailer For A ‘Crocodile Dundee’ Sequel Just Dropped And Surely This Is A Joke
It stars Danny McBride, for some reason?!
A teaser trailer has just hit the web for a sequel to Crocodile Dundee starring Danny McBride and… yeah, this is a stitch-up, right? There’s no possible way this is a real thing.
The 30-second clip was unveiled by People, and features McBride as the American son of Mick Dundee who it seems is destined to follow in his father’s footsteps. The film is apparently called Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home — which again, is not doing anything to convince me that this isn’t just an elaborate hoax.
Then again, the film does have a website complete with production photos and the Screen Australia logo. “Crocodile Dundee is back,” reads a synopsis on the site. “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.”
“I’m not going to lie to you, to be a real Crocodile Dundee, I think 95% of it is the vest and then 5% is just being able to not fall down and stay on your feet,” McBride told People. Alright, just tone it down a bit there mate. You’re talking about one of our national treasures.
In addition to McBride, Paul Hogan is also set to return. The actor told People that he was “excited to introduce the new Crocodile Dundee to the world”, and that he was looking forward “to sharing more news about those involved very soon”.
So yeah, I guess this is happening. That or it’s an elaborate tease for a car commercial or something. Either way, may God have mercy on us all.
Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home will be released in 2018. Allegedly.
