Tropic Thunder - Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr [New Red Band Trailer]

edited May 2008 in Social Entropy++
The new trailer just launched today.

http://www.tropicthunder.com/?gclid=COS1-ICNlpICFQo4YAodGFYS3A

The movie stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. as a group of actors who are placed in Vietnam to film a war movie. Little do they know a real war is being fought whilst they are shooting, and of course hilarity ensues.

UPDATE 5/16/08:

Socialism is the concrete foundation of America. Capitalism is the flimsy tin shack that sits upon it.

    from what I'm seeing here, Stiller's character seems similar to Mr. Furious, and that is wonderful.

    Also, Robert Downey Jr. is never not fantastic.

    It could just be black Robert Downey Jr on screen for two hours and it would still be awesome.

    A nice Gary Busey cameo. He really does crazy Vietnam veteran characters well.

    I dunno, it's a Ben Stiller movie. Ben Stiller movies have all the funny bits in the trailers. That trailer wasn't especially hilarious.

    So does that mean that it's not really a Ben Stiller movie and they're holding back the good stuff (yay)?

    Or is it the most terrible movie on earth?
