On the heels of its
first photo and
red-band teaser trailer releasing in the past week, Paramount/DreamWorks'
Tropic Thunder has released a couple more pictures, courtesy of its big promotional unveiling at the annual ShoWest exhibitors convention in Las Vegas, where
footage from the movie was screened at a private event hosted by two of its stars, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey, Jr.
The film's story centers on a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie who, through a series of freak occurrences, are forced to become the soldiers they are
portraying. Left to right, above, Jay Baruchel plays novice actor Sandusky; Brandon T.
Jackson portrays rap star Alpa Chino; Stiller plays pampered action superstar Tugg Speedman; Downey, Jr. plays Kirk
Lazarus, an over-the-top, Australian-born method
actor who goes to extremes getting into character; and Jack Black portrays gross-out comedy
star Jeff Portnoy. Steve Coogan (far right), meanwhile, plays the film's director, Damien Cockburn.
