One could easily argue that we really didn’t need another one but it’s here, the third instalment of Leon Schuster’s Mr. Bones franchise is coming to a big screen near us. Titled Mr. Bones 3, Son of Bones, the new trailer (which you can view below) officially dropped recently. Comedy pair Leon Schuster and Alfred “Shorty” Ntombela are reunited, this time defending Kuvukiland from unscrupulous oil-diggers and treasure hunters. The film features a stellar cast including Tumi Morake, Sans Moonsammy, Daniel Janks, Sthandile Nkosi, Jay Anstey and Jerry Mofokeng. Tobie Cronje and Bouwer Bosch feature in delightful cameo appearances.
The storyline of Mr. Bones 3, Son of Bones begins at the turn of the last century, when we witness (flashback) the burying of the Kruger millions by two Boer soldiers, who then kill each other through idiotic greed, leaving the Kruger millions hidden in a graveyard in Kuvukiland. Now, in the present, a scrawny businessman named Alvin (Moonsammy) and his Texan engineer partner named Jack (Janks), together with their beautiful guide, Gabrielle (Anstey) are plotting to mine for oil in the pristine land which would leave it an oily mess. Bones and Mathambo must devise a way to outsmart the opinionated Westerners. Of course, as their plan unfolds, so do many other unexpected twists and turns, with hilarious effect.
Mr. Bones 3, Son of Bones was produced in collaboration with M-Net and Film Chrome, with support from the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition and the National Empowerment Fund. The film is locally distributed by Filmfinity Pty (Ltd.) and will be released in South African cinemas in 2022.
