Paul Hogan and his ex-wife Linda Kozlowski are set to reunite.
The retired Australian actors, who shot to international fame in Crocodile Dundee, will take to the big screen side-by-side next year for the first time since 2001's Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles.
Paul, 85, and Linda, 66, who famously swore off Hollywood in the early 2000s, got back together for the making of Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut, a digitalised 4K remastering of their iconic film and its accompanying behind-the-scenes documentary.
Crocodile Dundee is the latest Australian film to get the 4K restoration treatment from Kismet Films, who will release the movie across Australian cinemas in 2025.
In addition to the 4K Encore Cut, Kismet are also distributing a new documentary, Crocodile Dundee: Lightning in a Bottle, that will delve into the people behind the landmark film.
'Paul and Linda have had their ups and downs over the years,' New Idea reported this week.
Kozlowski became a top box office star after making a major splash in the hit 1986 film Crocodile Dundee alongside her ex-husband Paul Hogan, now 85

But after several years of ill health, they added the project has reinvigorated the actor.
'This project has all three of them excited. It's given Paul a new lease on life.'
Sparks famously flew between Paul and Linda on-set in the Australian Outback, while Hogan - 19 years Kozlowski's senior - was still married to wife Noelene Edwards.
The couple wed in 1990, welcomed Chance eight years later, and divorced in 2014.
Chance was 'very young' when his star parents divorced, an inside source told New Idea on Sunday, and has said he'll 'welcome' seeing them working together again.
Crocodile Dundee producer John Cornell's wife started uncovering and archiving old material from her husband's shed in 2021 after she uncovered found footage, photos, scripts, notes, faxes, props, and boxes and boxes of never-before-seen items.
After his movie career took off, Paul left his home country of Australia behind and settled with Linda in Los Angeles in the '90s.
The self-described 'smart alec', who grew up in Sydney's Western suburbs and worked on the construction of the Harbour Bridge, still lives in Venice Beach with Chance, now 26.

His online behaviour has also become more erratic, sparking further concerns.
The concerned dad is reportedly trying to steer his son back onto the straight and narrow.
In his latest worrying public sighting, on November 14, a dishevelled Chance was seen aimlessly pacing up and down the street and approaching a blacked-out vehicle near the home where he is believed to live with his father.
He looked almost unrecognisable compared to the floppy-fringed boy who would accompany his parents to red carpet events in the early 2010s, as he appeared to collect a white package from a driver after a brief conversation.
He recently shared a bizarre video of himself ominously claiming something is about to 'begin' as he bared his inflamed gums to the camera.
Linda has since remarried and splits her time between the United States and Morocco.
