CROCODILE DUNDEE fever is hitting the Empire this year with a new documentary LOVE OF AN ICON: THE LEGEND OF CROCODILE DUNDEE, about the making of the iconic hit, and a 4K restoration of the original 1986 classic with CROCODILE DUNDEE: THE ENCORE CUT.
LOVE OF AN ICON: THE LEGEND OF CROCODILE DUNDEE is a comprehensive documentary about the original CROCODILE DUNDEE and how it burst onto global screens and into the hearts of millions nearly 40 years ago, remaining Australia’s most successful film ever. What were the magic ingredients that contributed to this cultural icon? And why does it still mean so much to so many? The restoration of the film led to the discovery of precious material in the archives of John Cornell, the co-creator of CROCODILE DUNDEE, and the late husband of Australia’s beloved Delvene Delaney. Inspired to share this treasure trove, Delvene invites you to an intimate glimpse into the compelling combination of chemistry, collaboration and courage inherent in this incredible film. Including interviews with the surviving cast, including Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski, this touching and hilarious documentary is a must watch.
LOVE OF AN ICON: THE LEGEND OF CROCODILE DUNDEE will be screening in a Limited Season from Thursday March 27.
CROCODILE DUNDEE: THE ENCORE CUT sees CROCODILE DUNDEE returning to the big screen for the first time in many years, featuring a meticulous frame-by-frame restoration and an Atmos soundtrack, and will be shown for the first time ever in stunning 4K, in an exhilarating visual experience of the Australian outback and our Aussie hero, Mick Dundee. Audiences old and new will thrill at every adventure, share a heartfelt laugh, and enjoy the infectious charm of Mick Dundee, in the encore of Australia’s most iconic film ever.
CROCODILE DUNDEE: THE ENCORE CUT will be screening from Thursday May 8.
