To help promote the upcoming DVD release of
Tropic
Thunder , you can now play an ultra-hip retro video game online at
UGO called
Tropic Thunder in the 8-Bit $#!t .
I was hipped to the game by Jen Johans at
Film
Intuition , and her description of it being kind of a cross between Contra and
Donkey Kong is pretty accurate. My advice: Shoot everything. You'll
eventually get to play as all the major characters as you run around collecting
Booty Sweat energy drink and creating... Read Full Story
One of the significant changes being made between
Iron
Man and
Iron Man 2 is that the script for the sequel will come from the laptop
of Justin Theroux . He replaces a team of writers who helped make the first film
a $300 million hero this summer.
Theroux also co-wrote
Tropic Thunder , which means he got
to know Robert Downey Jr. a little bit. In fact, as Theroux tells
UGO , Downey
actually introduced Theroux to Marvel brass when the subject of this sequel came
up.
The... Read Full Story

Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller , and Tina Fey are in talks to lend their voices to DreamWorks Animation's latest superhero spoof project, "Master Mind," which Stiller also produces through his Red Hour Films. The film tells the story of a supervillain who finds himself without a purpose after he accidentally kills his heroic nemesis. No word yet on the specific roles the trio would get involved in. The studio is eyeing a November 5, 2010 release date. This will... Read Full Story
The surprise announcement of co-hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin for the Oscars next year hid the declined invitations of actors Robert Downey Jr and Ben Stiller, according to a report.
Academy Awards organisers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman were reported to have asked Downey Jr and Stiller, a pair of dark comedians, to share hosting duties for the 2010 bash, which rose in viewer popularity this year on the back of Hugh Jackman's hosting.
Jackman, too, indicated he did not want to... Read Full Story
A film crew is in Southeast Asia filming a Vietnam-war memoir. It's early in the shooting, but they're already behind schedule and over budget. On the day an accident befalls the novice director, the cast and crew are attacked by a gang of poppy-growing local drug dealers, except the cast and crew don't realize these aren't actors who are stalking them. The thugs kidnap Tugg Speedman, an actor Read Full Story
“Tropic Thunder” is another clever film created by Ben Stiller. I have a feeling I will need to see this films a few times to get all the comic gems scattered throughout the movie. It was pretty hilarious, a brilliant sarcastic take on actors and the movie industry and war movies in general. The cast is excellent with standout performances by Ben Stiller as the has been actor Tugg Speedman, Robert Downey, Jr. as an aussie actor playing an african american soldier and Jack Black playing a...

One of the great surprises of this year's Golden Globe
nominations was
Tom Cruise earning a Best Supporting Actor nod
as Les Grossman, the malignant studio boss in
Tropic Thunder . Covered in tons of fake hair
and a wearing a fat suit, it took most viewers a couple of scenes to figure out
that it was Cruise spewing profanities like a geyser.
Though I doubt Cruise has a shot at winning (his co-star
Robert Downey
Jr. was also nominated, but we've got a hunch about this Ledger

People sure did love that Zoolander , but I'm not sure they want a sequel. I think it has more to do with Ben Stiller making Night at the Museum movies than anything else. Need I remind you of Tropic Thunder ? Maybe he can continue to play both sides, and he's certainly going to try with Zoolander 2 .
We know that Blue Steel will return, but what kind of absurd story will Stiller and company come up with? Appearing on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross (via JoBlo ), Stiller said, "Over the... Read Full Story
The son of actor/writer/director Robert Downey, Sr. (left), Robert Downey, Jr. (right) has had his fair share of personal and career ups and downs in Hollywood. However, his star is currently on the upswing thanks to his starring role in the 2008 smash hit Iron Man (nominated for "Best Sound Editing" and "Best Visual Effects"), and for his role in the Ben Stiller comedy Tropic Thunder , for which he has been nominated for "Best Supporting Actor." This marks the younger Robert's second... Read Full Story
