Danny McBride To Play Son Of Crocodile Dundee In New Project

A surprise trailer hit the internet today, featuring Danny McBride as the son of Crocodile Dundee in Dundee. The film, which comes from Rimfire Films, will also feature Paul Hogan reprising his role as Mick Dundee. Hogan played the role in 1986’s Crocodile Dundee, 1988’s Crocodile Dundee II and 2001’s Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. According to the trailer, the film arrives this summer.

Here’s a synopsis from the film’s official website: 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.

Meanwhile, McBride and Hogan spoke with People about the project. McBride said: “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.”

Hogan added: “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.”
