The Film Blogs of gone asunder over the up coming film TROPIC THUNDER. Everyone from Aint it Cool, Gizmodo, Slash Film are wetting their pants over this movie that seems to have come out of nowhere.
The movie stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. playing actors receiving training for a “Apocolypse Now-esque” movie.
The blurb at the movie site is that these actors:
“…lead an assemble cast in “Tropic Thunder,” an action comedy about a group of self-absorbed actors who set out to make the most expensive war film ever. After ballooning costs force the studio to cancel the movie, the fustrated director refuses to stop, leading the cast into the jungles of Southeast Asia, where they end up knee deep in the shit.”
Jack Black plays an albino, and Downing plays a Australian method actor who decides to have surgery to become black to play the main role, that was meant for a black person, thus this picture. Also, theyhave Tom Cruise cameo where he plays a fat guy here.
There are several reasons why this film will be awesome:
- It’s a comedy about making a war movie.
- It’s a self-reflexive movie (A movie about making movies that knows it’s a movie, just the type of movie I like!).
- Robert playing an Australian actor playing a black man.
- Jack Black as an albino.
- And it’s an R rated comedy. Awesomeness.
All they need is Samuel L. Jackness, and this movie is box office GOLD! Trailer for Tropic Thunder below.
