By all accounts, the upcoming Ben Stiller directed comedy TROPIC THUNDER is all kinds of awesome.
The story centers on a group of actors, the likes of which include Stiller himself, Jack Black, Jay Baruchel, Brandon T. Jackson as a character named "Alpa Chino" and the inimitable Robert Downey Jr. as a rigorously method Australian actor who undergoes surgery to become a southern black man, who get unknowingly thrust into a real life war situation.
Add in a batshit looney Nick Nolte, Justin Theroux, Steve Coogan and a few choice cameos and you have a yourself a golden comedy right there. Just look at these brand spanking new character posters we recently received. Just awesome. The mayhem ensues August 15th.
Extra Tidbit:
Stiller co-wrote the script with Theroux and Etan Cohen.

Downey Jr. as Denzel on crack is enough reason to watch this.
