Surprise! There's a random Crocodile Dundee movie coming this summer.
Out of nowhere, People just revealed a first teaser for "Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home." Danny McBride stars as Brian Dundee, son of Crocodile Dundee, in a revival of the Australian franchise. OG "That's not a knife" bushman Mick Dundee will be back, still played by Paul Hogan.
Paul Hogan even commented for People's story:
"Crocodile Dundee is a film that has stood the test of time. It was a defining moment in my life and one of my proudest accomplishments. Throughout the past few years, I've been thinking about how to bring Dundee to a new generation. I'm excited to introduce the new Crocodile Dundee to the world and look forward to sharing more news about those involved very soon."
McBride had his own quip on the role:
"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," he told People.
"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."
Check out the very brief teaser:There are photos from production on the official site, too. We're now waiting for a trailer and a release date. Or for someone to wake us from this '80s fever dream.
