Tropic Thunder Viral Video by MTV Movie Awards
The Pitch: I know we don’t give the MTV Movie Awards much credit, but each year they usually have a couple pre-taped segments which are pretty funny. This year the segment everyone is talking about involved Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr planning a vial [...]

Universal has released a new UK quad poster for The Incredible Hulk. Meanwhile Paramount has released a combined character poster for Tropic Thunder. Notice how Ben Stiller has been moved to the middle of the group. I noticed in many movie theaters (and even subways) the three character posters were placed next to each other [...]

A farm hand so retarded he’d make Sean Penn blush with envy. A blatant diss at Eddie Murphy (who really needs Inglorious Bastards). Another generous helping of Robert Downey Jr. as an angry black man. Nick Nolte bustin’ capillaries like squibs (on the job). And, well, a requisite death-to-throwaway-foreign-kid, but Rambo already pwned that jingo [...]

Paramount has released three new photos from the upcoming Ben Stiller Summer comedy Tropic Thunder. Not much is new, however there is an image that hints at an epic battle between Jack Black and a water buffalo. Check out the photos below. As always, click to enlarge.

My good, but easily excited, friend Alex at FirstShowing saw some footage at ShoWest, [...]

Nolte totally cracked out! Creedence Clearwater Revival blaring! Robert Downey Jr. as a fake black man! Jack Black as an albino! A real black dude yelling, “I’m from Brooklyn motherfucker!” The red-band teaser trailer (who knew, right?) for Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder has arrived and it packs a soap-in-mouth wallop. Unfortunately, the characters are [...]

I opened up my email this morning to see a message from my friend Neil at FSR titled “LOL Are you kidding me? This is awesome…”
Turns out that Entertainment Weekly released the first production photo for Ben Stiller’s summer comedy Tropic Thunder, and it features our first look at Robert Downey Jr.’s character Kirk Lazarus, [...]

Robert Downey Jr. and Jay Baruchel have signed on to star in the Ben Stiller-helmed comedy Tropic Thunder for DreamWorks. The Stiller, Justin Theroux and Etan Cohen penned screenplay is about a big-budget war movie gone wrong. I wonder if this means Tom Cruise is out?
A new Spider-Man 3 clip will be shown on the [...]
