New Tropic Thunder Redband Trailer Might Be The Trailer of the Year
Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on May 16, 2008
That’s right folks, I am absolutely not kidding when I say that I have not seen a better trailer this year than the one Paramount just put up over at the Tropic Thunder official site. You may recall that I was excited when the first trailer made its way online, but this one absolutely takes the cake. I would have posted something about this about 20 minutes ago, but I had to stop laughing first. Then I had to go find my chest pain meds.
Okay, I’m ready now. In the trailer below you can witness Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr. and Jack Black doing their thing in one of the most ridiculous redband trailers I’ve ever seen. Oh, and note the fantastic moments of screen time from Danny McBride. “Mother nature just pissed in her pantsuit!”
You can also see it in High Definition via iTunes.

When watching something as appalling as this…all I think is WWUD (What Would Uwe Do?)

Well-made trailer. Not sure about the movie. It needs a surfing scene with lots of gunfire and Owen Wilson.

Normally I would say Jack Black and Ben Stiller were hacks and I try to stay away from the comedy genre. But this film actually looks quite apealing to me it Robert Downey Jr was not in this movie I would not give it the time of day but it actually looks pretty fucken good witch is surprising. Jack Black and Ben Stiller need to stop pushing a lauph and work on their character development and beleavabuilty.

Muck Daddy, You’d think someone such as yourself who can’t spell common words would be against giving anyone advice about anything.
All hail the internet!
