Injured Shane Jacobson dishes on Paul Hogan’s new Crocodile Dundee movie as he takes Brothers’ Nest to Australia by bus

SHANE Jacobson has dished on mate Paul Hogan’s Croc Dundee comeback as he and brother Clayton travel the countryside by bus to launch their Kenny follow-up — on doctor’s orders.

Shane Jacobson says his mate Paul Hogan was planning his comeback movie long before that Tourism Australia campaign with Chris Hemsworth and Margot Robbie put Crocodile Dundee back on the map.

However, a cagey Jacobson is staying silent on whether he’ll have a role in The Very Excellent Mr Dundee.

SHANE JACOBSON SAYS MARRIAGE WAS WORTH THE WAIT

“He’s coming out to Australia to film, so we’ll have to see if I end up in it,” Jacobson told the Herald Sun on Friday.

“The funny part is, people will assume it’s a kneejerk reaction to the response to the ads. But I know for a fact it has been on the drawing board for years.”

Jacobson is travelling the countryside in a specially decked out bus to promote Brothers’ Nest, his new movie with director brother Clayton.

Shane tore his Achilles tendon while celebrating Daniel Ricciardo’s Grand Prix win in Monaco at the end of May and has been told not to fly.

“We’re doing it old school,” he laughed. “My achillies heel has turned out to be my achillies heel — I get the analogy now.”

Brothers’ Nest had its Melbourne premiere at the Classic last night and opens in cinemas on Thursday.

Consensus is that the movie, about two brothers plotting to kill their stepfather, is not what anyone expected from the blokes who brought us Kenny.

“When we say it’s a ‘dark comedy’, people can’t help but lean on the comedy because it’s me and Clayton,” Jacobson said. “But this is a dark thriller, it’s a Greek tragedy — one reviewer wrote it’s ‘the Coen brothers meets Hitchcock’.”

Brothers’ Nest makes it a double in cinemas for Clayton — he also has a cameo in Leigh Whannell’s new Melbourne-shot movie Upgrade, which opened this week.
