Norman tees up to make it a Dun-deal

FORGET superheroes — the next big screen battle could be the Great White Shark taking on Crocodile Dundee, if Greg Norman has anything to do with it.

After the huge success of Tourism Australia’s big-screen teaser during Monday’s Super Bowl, the golf legend has thrown his weight behind the #BringBackDundee petition to revive the film franchise.

The proud Aussie — who themed his company Christmas party around the Dundee films last year — offered his acting services to Tourism Australia and any support needed to “bring Australia to the big screen again”.

Norman yesterday told his 92,000-plus Instagram followers to get behind the movement, hot on the heels of the mock movie trailer going viral in the lead-up to the Super Bowl on Monday. Tourism Australia’s managing director John O’Sullivan said Norman was keen to play a role in any new promotion.

“When you start to get Australian superstars like Greg Norman getting in touch to offer their services to the campaign, you know you must have come up with something special,” he said.

Comedy heavyweight Judd Apatow also declared his interest in the project.

“Dundee came to America. Now he has a kid he didn’t know about. What day do I start?” the director of The 40Year-Old-Virgin tweeted.

Even the Outback town of McKinlay, in Queensland — the setting for the original Crocodile Dundee — has made its pitch for a reboot.

“Never say never,’’ local publican Frank Wust said yesterday.”

But Paul Hogan has stuck the knife into the idea, saying: “I don’t think I will be pushing for a fourth one.”
