Remember when I said, "I'll resist making further pre-judgments about the film until a substantial trailer is released, but for now I want to say that Tropic Thunder has become one of my most-anticipated big-budget releases of 2008"? That day, my friends, has arrived.
See, here I was afraid that Tropic Thunder's trailer was going to be a letdown, but if anything I'm even more excited now than I was before. Sure, the trailer plays a bit broad in parts, but they do just enough explaining the whole black-Downey storyline to make it abundantly clear what's going on without going overboard. Plus Downey is a hoot, and we even get a glimpse of Nick Nolte doing what he does best. Between this and Pineapple Express, I fear my side will hurt throughout August from all the laughing I'll be doing.
