Dundee Movie: Catfished in Australia
The Dundee movie is a reboot we all want to see. The son of a legend returns home, and he’s nothing like his father. How does Australian catfish taste?

Who doesn’t want to see a Crocodile Dundee sequel!? While we are at it, the best possible way to make this movie is to include as many Aussies as humanly possible. How about Liam and his brother Thor Hemsworth? Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe? Of course we need Isla Fisher, Ruby Rose, and Margot Robbie. Round everything out with Danny McBride for kicks.
Throw in a quick cameo for Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski to make everything perfect. Who doesn’t line up opening night to devour this?! I’m already searching how to buy advance screening tickets like the several month lead up to a Star Wars movie. Alas, it is too good to be true.
The good news is first.
There is a Dundee trailer and it’s amazing. In fact, it’s all of the aforementioned with the exception of Hogan and Kozlowski. Enjoy the trailer for Dundee before being completely disappointed by the reality of what’s to come.
The bad news follows.
Sadly, this is nothing but an advertisement for Australian tourism. We have all been catfished. That makes me immediately wonder if Australia just caught on to the whole trolling thing. Are we 100% sure Rick Astley isn’t Australian? It’s a great idea that has gone viral very quickly. Much like the fake movie Machete getting such a following that it inevitably got turned into a movie, there’s hope the level of awesome in the concept would be too promising to pass up.
If this were real, what could we expect?
The cameo list could be amazing. Cate Blanchett as the Russell Crowe’s wife? Rose Byrne could be a journalist who goes out with Brian Dundee (McBride) and kangaroo vet Dr. Clark (Isla Fisher) to stop the evil poacher (Eric Bana, perhaps?) who uses the headlights of his vehicle to freeze and shoot kangaroos. Naturally, Brian’s American family would want to check in, and his sister could definitely be Rebel Wilson. While we’re at it, let’s include Mel Gibson, Sam Worthington, and Guy Pearce; it doesn’t matter where.
Additionally, the iconic scenes could be tastefully and hilariously redone. For example, in one trailer they’ve already mocked (taken the piss?) the famous “that’s not a knife”-scene. If it weren’t for the fact that Margot Robbie is called out as beer-swilling Lil’ Donk, she’d be perfect for the following scene. It wouldn’t be consistent with the tone of the character, however, so let’s just go ahead and pencil in Naomi Watts or Nicole Kidman in a shot-for-shot EXACT remake of the famous crocodile attack scene.

This movie needs to be made. Indeed, it not only needs to be made, but it also needs sequels. As a matter of fact, it might be the next multi-film franchise we all need. In hope that a movie actually gets made, what do you want to see? Leave a comment with the best possible Dundee movie addition!
The Dundee movie is currently viral and not really a movie, but we are all hopeful.
