Movies

Well it was… sorta… fun while it lasted…

It’s been revealed that the Danny McBride Crocodile Dundee “film” is, in actuality… not really a film but rather a promo intended to shine a light on Australian tourism, at least according to this article by Britt Hayes and found on screencrush.com:

Here’s the truth behind the fake Danny McBride Dundee film

For those unfamiliar with the whole thing, a week or so ago appeared the following “teaser” trailer (after the teaser featured below, you got some trailers for the other “real” Crocodile Dundee films):

Then, a few days ago, appeared a second, IMHO far more amusing trailer which featured Mr. McBride alongside Chris Hemsworth (this teaser trailer, annoying, concludes with the first teaser trailer):

Gotta give Mr. Hemsworth plenty of credit.  To make one word, “really” so funny takes considerable skill! 😉

Frankly, and if the story is indeed to be believed, if this supposed film was a fake, it was a clever bit of misdirection… and perhaps its for the best such a film isn’t made.  I mean, it could work, I suppose, but I’d be skeptical.

Comic Books/Graphic Novels, Movies

I wonder if it works the other way around…?

Found this article by Cooper Hood at screenrant.com.  The headline pretty much says it all:

Chris Hemsworth Claims it is “Illegal” for MCU actors to take DC Roles

Now, Mr. Hemsworth, it should be noted, said this in a panel at a comic book convention and, perhaps, he was being quite tongue in cheek about the statement.  I mean, “illegal”?  Like… he can be arrested for appearing in a DC universe movie?

I certainly don’t think so, though I could see the powers that be at Disney/Marvel frowning very heavily at the idea that someone as well known for a role as prominent as he plays in the MCU suddenly appearing in an equally big role in a DC movie.  I mean, should he appear in civilian attire as a small character in a DC universe film I guess it might be ok, but what if he should appear in the role of, say, a Booster Gold?

Granted, the character isn’t as big as a Batman or Superman or Wonder Woman, but he’s big enough and the character, as presented in the comics, does have the look of Mr. Hemsworth.  There are other possibilities, too.  How about the Phantom Stranger…?

What if they decide to make a Green Arrow movie that, like the Flash in the movie universe, isn’t tied into the TV show?  Mr. Hemsworth could certainly look the part…

Anyway…random speculation on my part.

Still, who could one see Robert Downey Jr. play if he were to appear in the DC movies…?

Could he make an interesting Blue Beetle to Chris Hemsworth’s Booster Gold…?

I don’t know…it might just work…
