IMPEDIUS

An all out Ben Stiller movie with him as the director, writer and main actor. Not to mention an all star cast featuring the likes of Jack Black(Be Kind Rewind, Kung Fu Panda), Robert Downey Jr.(Iron Man) and even Tom Cruise(Mission: Impossible III, War Of The Worlds). Perhaps one of the most interesting part of this movie is Robert Downey Jr. acting as black guy. Whatever it is, Tropic Thunder is already doing quite well in the US box office. You’re bound to have a good laugh watching it in the cinemas. - impedius

In the action-comedy “Tropic Thunder,” Ben Stiller plays pampered action superstar Tugg Speedman, who is cast in the biggest, most expensive war movie ever produced. He sets out to Southeast Asia with a “Who’s Who” of celebrity co-stars. They include Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), an intense, three-time Oscar-winning actor; Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), star of the popular gross-out comedy franchise “The Fatties”; multi-platinum hiphop-star-turned-entrepreneur-turned-actor Alpa Chino (Brandon T. Jackson); and first-timer Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel). Soon after the production begins the actors are thrown into a real-life situation and are forced to become the fighting unit they’re portraying, in order to find a way out of the jungle in one piece.
