After ballooning costs (and the out of control egos of the pampered cast) threaten to shut down the movie, the frustrated director refuses to stop shooting, leading his cast deep into the jungles of Southeast Asia for “increased realism,” where they inadvertently encounter real bad guys. The cast includes: Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller) is a pampered action superstar on the wane. His “Scorcher” series of post-apocalyptic action epics have played out, and after a desperate attempt for an Oscar® nod backfires, Speedman is counting on TROPIC THUNDER to put him back on top. Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black) is the star of a popular gross-out comedy franchise called “The Fatties,” and now he’s looking to branch out, to show the world that there’s more to him than just getting laughs from passing gas. Aussie thespian Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr), the quintessential “method” actor, has won five Oscars® and is always on the lookout for new challenges and ways to transform himself for his “art.” Alpa Chino (Brandon T Jackson) seems to have it all. But the multi-platinum hip-hop-star-turned-entrepreneur is eager to move on up to the ranks of serious actors. Newcomer Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel), well, he is just happy to have a job. In TROPIC THUNDER, this unlikely group of self-absorbed prima donnas come together to film an epic war movie and unwittingly wind up in a real battle. |
