The “Tropic Thunder” Movie Trailer Is Hilarious
Plot Summary: Ben Stiller says “Tropic Thunder” is a “a comedy about five actors who go on location and find themselves relying on their boot camp experiences when they get stuck in a real war-like situation.”
Black will play Jeff “Fats” Portnoy, an overweight gross-out comedian, who’s forced to kick his drug addiction while filming on location in the jungle. Downey Jr. will play Kirk Lazarus, the greatest actor of his generation and a four-time Oscar winner. Baruchel will play Kevin Sandusky, an unknown actor on the set.
In the action-comedy “Tropic Thunder,” Ben Stiller plays pampered action superstar Tugg Speedman, who is cast in the biggest, most expensive war movie ever produced. He sets out to Southeast Asia with a “Who’s Who” of celebrity co-stars. Soon after the production begins the actors are thrown into a real-life situation and are forced to become the fighting unit they’re portraying, in order to find a way out of the jungle in one piece.
This premise could work. So could Tom Cruise making a cameo looking nothing like himself. I like a majority of Stiller’s movies, some are just terrible though (”The Heartbreak Kid” and “Night at the Museum”). The addition of Jack Black and Downey Jr. (in black face??) may make this one of the biggest comedies of summer 2008. What do you think of the trailer below?
