Stiller reporting for duty on ‘Tropic Thunder’
Wednesday, Aug 8th
Ben Stiller plans to star in and direct ‘Tropic Thunder’, a high concept comedy that he’s been developing ever since he worked on Steven Spielberg’s “Empire of the Sun†way back in 1987. The script Stiller wrote with Etan Cohen (â€Madagascar 2 “) and Justin Theroux, is about the making of a big-budget war movie where everything that can go wrong does, and where the actors end up becoming the commandos they are playing. Principle photography is scheduled to begin in July.
