Last week saw the surprise appearance online of a teaser trailer for “Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home,” supposedly Danny McBride’s Crocodile Dundee sequel out this summer.

Now, the fun continues in this latest full-length trailer which features famous Aussie actors such as Margot Robbie, Chris Hemsworth, Jackman, and Russell Crowe supposedly playing a villain. Isla Fisher, Ruby Rose, and Luke Bracey are also in the trailer, as well as Chris Hemsworth’s brother Liam.

There’s definitely plenty of potential here, possibly one of the most star-studded films to come out in awhile, and sure to set the boxoffic on fire once it opens across the globe.

Exciting as this sounds, the movie is in fact a viral marketing campaign. At least according to this article from Brisbane Times, which reveals that the supposed reboot is part of an advertising campaign for Australian tourism, set to air during next month’s NFL Super Bowl, February 3 on NBC.

Here’s the film’s official synopsis cause, you know, we all want the movie to be real:

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 teams up with a local expert, Wally Jr., played by Chris Hemsworth. Together, they’ll embark on the ultimate adventure in the land down under. It’s time to live up to the family name. DUNDEE.

Entertainment Studios Motion PIctures


If the title sounds like a wild action treat, its because it is. The trailer for Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures’ “The Hurricane Heist” has been released and its non-stop popcorn cinema at its finest.

Set to the tune of Scorpions hit “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” the film look just as big and visually impressive as some of director Rob Cohen’s other films such as xXx, Dragonheart and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

Rob Cohen also created The Fast and the Furious film franchise so we can certainly expect some crazy fun car chases. The Hurricane Heist was originally called Category 5.

The film stars Lost’s Maggie Grace as the Treasury agent Casey, Kong: Skull Island’s Toby Kebbell as a meteorologist Will, and True Blood veteran, Ryan Kwanten playing his brother. The Hurricane Heist sweeps through the theaters March 9.

Here’s the film’s official synopsis:

A crew of thieves plans the ultimate heist, to steal $600 million from the U.S. treasury facility located on the Gulf Coast of Alabama using a hurricane as their cover. When the storm blows up into a lethal CATEGORY 5 and their well-made plans go awry, they find themselves needing a vault code known only by one female Treasury Agent, a need that turns murderous. But the Treasury agent has picked up an unlikely ally, a meteorologist terrified of hurricanes but determined to save his estranged brother kidnapped by the thieves. He uses his knowledge of the storm as a weapon to defeat the bad guys in this non-stop action/thriller.

Chris Claremont came to Marvel as a young man, and was assigned a book that no one else wanted, a book on the brink of cancellation: X-Men. Over the next 17 years, his work on the title turned it into the biggest franchise in comic book history. Forty years later, his work has been adapted into ten films, three TV series, countless video games and has become a part of our cultural mythology. But, it all started with one writer and his commitment to emotionally honest storytelling and real character building.

This extended version of the documentary provides an expanded story with more background on Claremont and his two original collaborators, Ann Nocenti and Louise Simonson, revealing secrets into what made them a great team. Viewers will also gain insight into Claremont’s childhood and see what helped make the connection between him and the series outsider heroes. There is also a look at the franchises’ films and TV shows, including Claremont’s key role in launching X-Men and his thoughts on seeing his creations come to life, from the first X-Men film to the recent “Legions” TV series and the upcoming NEW MUTANTS film.

With over 40 minutes of new footage, the VOD also contains never-seen-before interviews with Rob Liefled (Deadpool creator), Marc Silvestri (artist) and hard-core fans who share the impact both Claremont and the comics have made on them.

The feature documentary is directed, produced, and edited by Patrick Meaney. Jordan Rennert produces and is the Director of Photography. CHRIS CLAREMONT’S X-MEN is distributed by XLrator Media.

New Action-Packed “Pacific Rim Uprising” Trailer Plus New Poster!

Universal Pictures

Returning Kaiju means action galore, and in the latest Pacific Rim Uprising trailer, released by Legendary Pictures on Wednesday, there is no shortage of monster versus giant mech smackdown.

“How did they get into our world?” asks Jake Pentecost (son of Idris Elba’s Stacker Pentecost from the first Pacific Rim). “Someone let them in,” returning character Dr. Gottlieb replies. “Someone from our world.”

While the first trailer focused more on Boyega’s character, this new one shows more details about the story, a new human landscape since the initial attack, some jaeger vs. jaeger action, and more importantly a kaiju-jaeger hybrid. Surprise!

To hype the new trailer, Universal Pictures and Legendary also released a brand new poster for Pacific Rim Uprising.

Steven S. DeKnight (Daredevil) took over the reins as director after Guillermo del Toro stepped aside to focus on The Shape of Water, a decision that clearly paid off given its current multiple awards run. Del Toro is credited for the story.

‘Uprising’ picks up ten years after the events of the Battle of the Breach in the The 2013 original, when the Jaeger program has become a powerful global defense force, and the Pan Pacific Defense Corps calls upon a new generation of elite fighters against Kaiju threat.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s John Boyega is trading starships for Jaegers in the sequel as Jake, while Scott Eastwood is his partner Jaeger pilot Nate Lambert. Joining Boyega and Eastwood are Pacific Rim alums Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, and Burn Gorman.

Pacific Rim: Uprising is scheduled to stomp into theaters on March 23, 2018.
