The New ‘Crocodile Dundee’ Trailer Is A Fake But People Love It Anyway [Video]

When the trailer for a new 'Crocodile Dundee' dropped, many were left scratching their heads. Turns out there was an ulterior motive behind the news.

Danny McBride, Chris Hemsworth, Margot Robbie, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Isla Fisher, Ruby Rose, Liam Hemsworth, Jessica Mauboy, and Luke Bracey.

I don’t know who the hell Luke Bracey is, but that does seem like a pretty decent cast for a movie.

For a brief moment some folks actually thought it was, the trailer for DUNDEE managing to fool many. Except, perhaps sadly, it’s actually a marketing stunt for Australian Tourism ahead of this weekend’s Super Bowl.

Ah well, let’s enjoy Margot and the crew anyway:

There is zero chance this could be worse than either Anchorman 2 or Zoolander 2, but then again that’s not saying much.

It turns out the ad has been hugely successful, beating out brands like Budweiser and Pepsi to be the most impactful Super Bowl ad campaign.
