Shit blows up.
Two days ago we brought you details and the first picture from Tropic Thunder featuring Robert Downey Jr in blackface. Today a red band teaser trailer for the Ben Stiller directed war comedy hit the net. Click HERE to skip age verification and check it out (unfortunately it can currently only be seen on the official site).
The teaser isn't anything special but showcases what looks like some pretty funny footage. Who would have guessed Robert Downey Jr looks even funnier as a black dude while moving? It's also cool to see Danny McBride and Jay Baruchel get trailer credits.
I'm looking forward to seeing more footage from Tropic Thunder. While Ben Stiller has a track record of garbage this film looks like it has the potential to be pretty funny. Apparently Ben Stiller got the idea for this flick while on the set of Spielberg's Empire of the Sun back in the 80's.
What do you guys think of this teaser? Did you think enough footage was shown to get a buzz going for this flick? How do you feel about the influx of red band trailers hitting the net recently? Post a comment and let me know.
Tropic Thunder hits theatres August 15th.
Cheers.
