Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder Prequel?

No, no, sorry. We’re not being serious. But while at the press junket with Ben Stiller he had mentioned that he had the idea for Tropic Thunder for a long time, dating back to the days of his time on The Ben Stiller Show. As soon as he mentioned it, I flashed back to one of my favorite parody clips of all time. I’d rather watch this for 90 minutes than ever sit through a poorly thought out spoof movie.
In a way, this could be considered a forerunner to what happened with this idea got full fleshed out into Tropic Thunder. Without further ado, we present to you Die Hard 12: Die Hungry from The Ben Stiller Show.

I might actually yet go see Tropical Thunder, even if prequels are all the
rage.

Wow, that was great. Ben actually does a pretty good Bruce.
