The legend, the mateship, the magic – made against all odds. Crocodile Dundee burst onto global screens and into the hearts of millions nearly 40 years ago, and is still Australia’s most successful film of all time. But little does anyone know, that behind this cultural icon – was a cast and crew with no feature film experience, last-minute funding struggles, and an industry that never saw it coming. During the 4K restoration of Crocodile Dundee, a treasure trove of unseen archival material was uncovered from the collection of Crocodile Dundee co-creator John Cornell, the late husband of Australia’s beloved Delvene Delaney. Inspired by this discovery, Delvene has created LOVE OF AN ICON: THE LEGEND OF CROCODILE DUNDEE – a revealing and heartfelt documentary that invites audiences behind the scenes to witness the battles, breakthroughs, and unbelievable twists that made the film a reality. More than just a “making-of”, LOVE OF AN ICON: THE LEGEND OF CROCODILE DUNDEE is a testament to conviction, mateship, and sheer determination: a film that almost never happened, but went on to define a generation

Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.
