This is a piece of news that will likely thrill anyone who still drinks Fosters and/or who thinks the Barry McKenzie series was the most awesome piece of art Australia has ever produced: Shane Jacobson and Paul Hogan look set to team up and create movie magic together.

Strewth, mate, chuck another Torana on the barbie, my dead dingo's donger needs a bit of dead horse on the pavlova so I can score a root with the Big M girl who looks like a bucket of smashed crabs at the Celebration Of A Nation, etc etc.

The home-grown flick, scheduled for release late next year will again showcase the country to the world, with the Crocodile Dundee star and Jacobson's characters travelling from Warrnambool, Victoria to Cape York.

"Shane has read the script and he likes it a lot," Jacobson's manager Deb Fryers said. "He's excited about the potential, but it's not locked in," she added, stressing the AFI-winner had yet to actually sign on the dotted line.

That's poetry in motion right there, that is. AFIs for everyone!
