Danny McBride is the Son of Crocodile Dundee

Just the other night one of my friends jokingly said, “I’m surprised they haven’t re-made Crocodile Dundee!”

Then wouldn’t you know it, this teaser trailer drops (along with a website) that appears to show that Danny McBride is playing the son of Paul Hogan’s character from the 1986 film.

The new film is called Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home and I had no idea this was being made (part of me wonders if it is all part of some elaborate joke or part of another project).

Paul Hogan spoke to People.com about the film.

Here is the plot synopsis:

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 this is all real, and not something to promote Australia or feature as a fake trailer in another movie, it is due out this Summer.

Check out the teaser below and share your thoughts in the comments.
