Just a week after getting our first teaser for Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder we get a full trailer that gives us a pretty good look at Robert Downey, Jr. in full black man make-up. I have to say, it’s hard to tell it’s Robert Downey, Jr. Jack Black looks to be doing his thing as well.
The full trailer actually looks really funny. Sadly, Ben Stiller is probably the least funniest actor in the trailer. I’m sure he’ll do his Ben Stiller thing and that’ll be good if you’re in to that. I’m actually hoping he’ll stretch a bit and try to do something different for a change. It doesn’t really look like it, though.
Tropic Thunder is about a group of spoiled actors who think they’re filming a movie about the Vietnam war must fight for actual survival when their fed-up director and writer decide to dump them in the middle of a real war.
The film stars Ben Stiller’s, Robert Downey, Jr., Jack Black, Nick Nolte, Jay Baruchel, and Brandon T. Jackson and features cameos by Tom Cruise, Matthew McConaughey, and Tobey Maguire.
Tropic Thunder is set to open on August 15, 2008.
Looks pretty good, but I agree with you – looks like the same old Ben Stiller.

I’d be more likely to watch it if Ben Stiller wasn’t in the movie. “Heartbreak Kid” really turned me off of him.
Well, lucky for him, most people won’t have that problem. No one else saw The Heartbreak Kid.
