Tropic Thunder Starbesetzte neue Regiearbeit von US-Topkomiker Ben Stiller: In seiner großangelegten Hollywoodkarikatur werden die Stars eines Antikriegsfilm - neben Ben Stiller selbst u.a. Robert Downey Jr. und Jack Black - nichts ahnend zu Hauptdarstellern in einem echten Drogenkrieg. Komödie/Action USA/2008 Darsteller: Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, Brandon T. Jackson, Jay Baruchel, Nick Nolte Regie: Ben Stiller Ein muskelbepackter Actionstar, der gerade ein asiatisches Baby adoptiert hat und ein Komiker, der in seinen Filmen gerne mehrere Rollen übernimmt - das sind zwei der Schauspielstars am Set des Antikriegsfilm "Tropic Thunder", die keine Ahnung haben, dass sie schon bald zu Hauptdarstellern in einem echten Drogenkrieg werden sollen. English: Tropic Thunder Cast Ben Stiller as Tugg Speedman, a pampered action star who attempted to turn into a serious actor - with disastrous results Jack Black as Jeff "Fats" Portnoy, a comedian-turned-drug addict well known for playing multiple parts in films. Robert Downey Jr. as Kirk Lazarus, an Australian multiple Academy Award-winning method actor who portrays an African American character Sgt. Osiris. Cockburn, the director of the film. Nick Nolte as the film's writer. Cameos Tom Cruise as the studio boss Kathy Hilton Tobey Maguire Matthew McConaughey Katie Holmes Mickey Rooney as Old Man Carruthers Tom Cruise cameo controversy Stiller had intended to keep Cruise's role in the film a surprise, and he is not credited in the film. The film studio has refused to release pictures of Cruise's character as he appears in the movie. Images of Tom Cruise with a bald headpiece and in a fat suit appeared on Inside Edition in November 2007, and also appeared on the Internet. Cruise is reported to play a fat movie mogul in the film. Attorneys for Tom Cruise threatened a lawsuit if photos showing Cruise bald, bearded and wearing a fat suit were published. A representative for Cruise stated: "Mr Cruise's appearance was supposed to be a surprise for his fans worldwide. [Paparazzi] have ruined what should have been a fun discovery for moviegoers." Photo agency INF responded with a statement: "While these pictures were taken without breaking any criminal or civil laws, we've decided to pull them from circulation effective immediately." MTV News reported that "..reps are reportedly having the image of a fat, balding Cruise pulled from the Internet as quickly as sites can put it up". In an April 2008 interview with MTV News, Ben Stiller refused to discuss Tom Cruise's role in the film. Production Ben Stiller got the idea for the film while shooting Empire of the Sun,[3] in which he played a small part. Shooting for the film took place on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, where Stiller has a home. Additional filming took place in Los Angeles at Universal Studios in Hollywood. The island was first scouted in 2004 by Stiller, and was selected over filming in Mexico based on a tax credit for in-state spending that was negotiated with the Kauai Film Commission. The first major studio production on the island in five years, preliminary production crews were on the island starting in December 2006 and principal photography began in July 2007. Tim Ryan, the executive editor of Hawaii Film & Video Magazine, commented on the filming on the island: "I think Tropic Thunder will give Kaua'i much needed and long idled publicity in the production arena...It should put Kaua'i back on the production consideration radar."Casting calls on the island sought 500 residents to portray the Vietnamese villagers in the film. Before the film, three fake trailers will be shown, similar to the 2007 film Grindhouse. One of the trailers, entitled "Satan's Alley", features Downey Jr. and Tobey Maguire.Another trailer, entitled "Simple Jack", features Ben Stiller, Justin Theroux, and Mickey Rooney. The release date for the film's North American release is August 13, 2008. Studios consider the third week of August to be a weaker performing period than earlier in the summer due to students returning to school.[ However, R-rated comedies such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) and Superbad (2007) were released in mid-August and performed well at the box office. Reacting to Tropic Thunder's release date, Rob Moore, vice chairman of Paramount Pictures, stated: "For a young person at the end of summer, you want to have some fun and forget about going back to school. What better than a crazy comedy?
