Tropic Thunder



Above is the first image from Ben Stiller's forthcoming comedy Tropic Thunder. Stiller directs and stars in the film, which tells of a group of actors forced to fend for themselves when dumped in the jungle by the director of the latest film.

Starring alongside Stiller is Jack Black, to the rear, and Robert Downey Jr. If you dont recognise Downey Jr in the picture above, he's the one in the middle. Downey Jr plays a serious actor who, when offered a role originally written for an African American, decides to dye his skin rather than have the role rewritten. Some people are concerned this plot point may cause controversy and it will be inte resting to see how it is handled in the publicity surrounding the film.

Steve Coogan and Nick Nolte also star in the film, which is due for an August release.
