That New CROCODILE DUNDEE Movie Is A Sham, It's Actually Another Super Bowl Ad
I didn't plan on visiting Australia in 2018, and I certainly won't after this stunt! That Danny McBride ad is NOT another Crocodile Dundee film shot in secret called, its just an upcoming Super Bowl ad called Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home that was created for Australian tourism in Canada.
This seems incredibly stupid given the insane amount of money poured into making this look like a legitimate film. They even got Chris Hemsworth and the original film star Paul Hogan on board! That said I will be interested to see how these commercials unfold, as it looks as though a few different commercials made to look like scenes from the film will air during the Super Bowl. Here's the synopsis that was released.
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. Unlike his father, Brian grew up a true city kid. But that won’t stop him from picking up his dad’s oversized knife and launching into the Australian outback, completely unprepared for what lies ahead.
Are you disappointed this film isn't happening? I guess I don't really care THAT much, but it does seem like you shouldn't be able to scam people into believing something exists just to promote something. Who knows... maybe it will spark interest in making an actual sequel. One thing is for sure, the people that pulled this stunt must've had a good laugh.
