Danny McBride Made A Sequel To Crocodile Dundee & There's A Teaser Trailer
Hello nerds!
That's not a knife, but it's a real motherfucker of a surprise. Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home stars Danny McBride as Brian Dundee. Brian is the son of the legendary Mick Dundee, colloquially known as Crocodile. What in the very real fuck?
A synopsis of the plot can be found on the film's IMDB page, but that's about it. Plus, we've actually got a teaser trailer for the movie, because it's already completed. Apparently.
“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.”
If you think about it, there really isn't anyone better than Danny McBride to soft reboot one of the most well-liked films of the 80s. From what we know of his reboot of Halloween, it sounds like it'll be a true return to form for the ailing franchise and it's not like Son of a Legend can be any worse than Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. So, why not McBride?
I'll watch anything that McBride is in (I'll refer you to Alien:Covenant and The Heartbreak Kid as proof), because he's talented as hell and can instantly put me into a giggle fit. So, I'm already up for this film based upon the synopsis and teaser alone, but when you factor in Paul Hogan reprising his role as the OG Dundee, Son of a Legend could turn into a surprise hit. At the very least, it'll be good for a laugh or two. Afterall, Danny McBride really seems to have the role figured out.
In an interview with People, the stars of Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home shared their thoughts and McBride reveals the secret to being "Crocodile".
“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.”
The first man to don the vest and grin of Mick Dundee, Paul Hogan, seems fairly excited for the chance to return to his iconic character. In the continuing trend of making the 80s popular again, it would've been a disappointment if he wasn't in the film.
“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.”
Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home is set to hit theaters this summer, but I really think they should aim for an April 20th release date. It's the obvious choice.
