It was all too good to be true, anyway.
A full trailer for an alleged "Crocodile Dundee" sequel is set to make its way to the Super Bowl, and it just got fans really excited.
What started out as several small teasers introducing the "film's" characters will ultimately be shown as a whole featurette during the NFL's grandest show and will be a star-studded, beautifully made piece of work that could make anyone that is a fan of the original movie wanting more.
Much to the fans' disappointment, however, it turned out that the "Dundee" sequel is not an actual film but rather a commercial aiming to promote tourism in Australia, as revealed by Tourism Australia, a company that is known for using big-name celebrities to entice people to explore the land.
Reflecting the ad's objective of promoting the country, the trailer includes an all-star cast that consists of Australia's biggest names such as Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth, Liam Hemsworth, Isla Fisher, Ruby Rose, and Russell Crowe.
Danny McBride plays the role of Brian Dundee, the son of Australian legend Mick "Crocodile" Dundee, who travels to the land down under in the hopes of continuing his father's legacy. He is assisted in his journey by the enthusiastic Wally Jr. (Chris Hemsworth), who initially finds it difficult to believe that Brian is truly the son of the legend.
Jackman plays the Australian prime minister and Suicide Squad's Margot Robbie is Lil' Donk, a free beer-lover and staunch believer in Crocodile Dundee. Russell Crowe plays J.P. Steele, a sinister tycoon, who describes himself as "Australia's most dangerous animal."
Other cast members play relatively minor roles such as Isla Fisher playing vet Dr. Clark, and Liam Hemsworth as Wes Windsong, a seemlingly regular guy who loves watching humpback whales give birth.
It may have been just an advertisement, but the level of excitement it gave those who saw the trailer has everyone wishing that it could be made into a real movie.
But then again, it could be just a tactic to throw everybody off from the really thing, so nobody really knows.
