‘Good Time’ Filmmakers to Remake ’48 HRS.’ with Jerrod Carmichael Co-Writing the Script

I still watch this one as occasional 'comfort food'. Last time I did I wondered when they would get around to it. I really liked Good Time, and it was weird enough to give me some reason to hope this won't just be another pale re-skin for the younger generation. Nolte and Murphy though...man, that is going to be hard to do better.

All femme Oceans...ok, it's the perfect time for it, why not.
 

I like McBride, but consider me not wanting to see Crocodile Dundee turned in a "total" joke.

who's the comedic replacement for

Edit: now I'm hearing this is more subtle joke and not going to be a real movie? Any idea?

Last week, the internet collectively scratched its head and chuckled when a trailer for the so-called Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home dropped unexpected online and introduced McBride as “Brian Dundee”, the supposed son of the 1980s action headliner Crocodile Dundee. Now, a new trailer has appeared on the freshly updated official website (font work still questionable), introducing Aussie superstar and fierce competitor in the Battle of the Chrises, Chris Hemsworth as “Wally Jr.”, a local outback expert who joins Brian on the search for his missing father. Per the original announcement, Paul Hogan is also returning.

WTF: Chris Hemsworth Joins Danny McBride in New ‘Dundee’ Trailer

“Working on this new Crocodile Dundee has been a dream come true. Being a proud Australian, the movie is legendary and I am honored to be a part of this next
chapter,” Hemsworth says in a press release.

Yeaaaaaah. I don’t know, guys. Again, that seems like a jokey statement. I don’t think Crocodile Dundee is exactly a revered figure in Australia. I’ve always heard he goes up there with “Shrimp on the Barbie” and Fosters Beer as a piece of cringey cultural misrepresentation. Speaking of beer, the safe money seems to be on this whole thing being a Super Bowl promo of some kind. If not, hats off. At this point, the movie being real would be the best possible version of this prank.

The trailers are very simple. Look like they were filmed in an hour, so I think we are getting sandbagged. Personally I would LOVE it to be real.
