Tropic Thunder
Though we still don't have a trailer for Tropic Thunder, the movie is far enough along for special screenings.
Tropic Thunder Screening Report
The good people at AICN have received a screening report for Tropic Thunder that not only gives us our first impression on the film, but explains that it comes packed with fake trailers.
The fake previews lead into the film, and they are fantastic. Each trailer introduced the three main actors, with specific satires of certain genres. Ben Stiller's character plays and action star who has now made at least five sequels to one movie, Jack Black's trailer is the most brilliant satire; a movie about a fat family with all the characters played by Black in heavy prosthetics.
After the trailers the film shifts right into the middle of a scene from "Tropic Thunder", the movie that Stiller, Black, and Downey are all now in. Right away Downey starts stealing the scene, and it is almost scary how he looks and sounds almost nothing like Downey. Spouting blood from helmets and intestines falling out of stomachs happen in over the top war movie fashion, and Jack Black ends up hanging from a helicopter. The scene ends with Stiller in the midst of dying and Downey there to console him. Stiller yells cut and we get our first introduction to the pseudo rivalry between Stiller and Downey that continues throughout the film.
There are cameos galore...
I don't want to spoil it for you, but some of these cameos sound absolutely hilarious. August seems so far away all of a sudden. Check out the Tropic Thunder screening report here.
