That would be a highly effective trailer if it was one quarter the length.

It's Robert Downey Jr as a black man. Not only that, it's Robert Downey Jr playing a white man who made himself black...for a movie...in a movie. grin

Ok... Since there seems to be two of the same thread.... I'll repost.

I have been looking forward to thin one for months. It just looks ridiculously funny. It'd be hard to mess up a movie like this with the cast it's boasting.

Have you checked out the trailer for Rain of Madness?

Is Rain of Madness the movie they're making within Tropic Thunder, the movie?

From what I gathered, it's a mockumentary of the making of Tropic Thunder. I haven't really looked into it anymore, so I'm not quite sure what the deal is. I'll see if I can find out more about it.

Woah, I didn't realize there was an existing thread either...my bad

Rain of Madness looks to be making fun of Heart of Darkness which was a documentary on Apocalypse Now, which Tropic Thunder was originally poking fun at. At least thats what Wikipedia says. Its actually pretty funny and has a lot of new funny scenes you don't see in the trailer.

They also just released some viral websites, here are the ones I've found so far:
