(Red Band) Trailer Bulletin: Tropic Thunder
Now with 100% more swear words!
by Jeff Giles | May 19, 2008
Discuss Article
You've seen the Tropic Thunder trailer -- but you've never seen it quite like this!

Yes, gang, that's right -- the red band trailer for Tropic Thunder is out now, and -- provided you're old enough to see this sort of thing -- all you need to see it is an iTunes account. The action comedy, opening August 15, stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Brandon T. Jackson, Nick Nolte, and Jay Baruchel in the story of a crew of pampered actors whose asinine behavior on the set of a war film leads the filmmakers to take some unusually desperate measures.


The red band trailer, while not completely different from what you've already seen, does offer a bigger glimpse of Downey's character, as well as a spectacularly disgusting gag involving entrails and the world's most adorable little knife-wielding maniac. Follow the link below for a look!

So wrong....but so so right. Might be Stiller's first good film in quite some time.

hey, the last thing stiller helmed was 'zoolander,' and based on that accomplishment alone he wreaks of credibility as a director.

ben stiller as tug speedman as simple jack "a mentally-impared farm hand." haha

excited for the tom cruise cameo, just to see how ridiculous it is. he'll probly be a fighter pilot or something.

Yah, this looks great. And it has been a good time since Ben Stiller was in something that didn't make me cringe. . .or avoid altogether.

Absolutely AWESOME. Between this and Pineapple Express, this is going to be a VERY funny summer. This is Ben apologizing to his non-kiddie fans for his various Nights at various Museums.

Check out this behind-the-scenes footage from a recent interview Jack Black did.

He smashes a guitar, which is awesome (takes him a few tries)
