Because if someone would have told me that Will Ferrell was going to cameo in WEDDING CRASHERS and the psychotic, meat-loaf loving, funeral schmoozing Chas, I would have gone apeshit. Just seeing his face emerge out of the shadows had me laughing. And so the A-list cameo trend seems to be growing. The latest actor to take a ride on the wagon appears to be Tom Cruise, who is to play a ‘despotic studio head’ in the upcoming Ben Stiller flick, TROPIC THUNDER. The role is apparently going to give him a chance to poke fun “at the expense of the top execs at his former home studio, Paramount.”
I love stuff like this. I’m not ashamed to admit that after I saw FAST AND THE FURIOUS 3: TOKYO DRIFT, I actually left the movie thinking it was pretty good, until I realised, wait a minute, no it wasn’t, I just thought that Vin Diesel cameo was awesome.
