Watch options. Storyline Edit. Action movie star Tugg Speedman is on the downslide of his professional career. He wants to be considered a serious actor, but his latest serious role as the title character in "Simple Jack" resulted in negative reviews and ridicule. Comedian Jeff Portnoy is best known for his leading roles in sophomoric comedies, and may be less well known for his rampant drug use.

Five time Oscar winner Kirk Lazarus is a serious method actor, who immerses himself in whatever the role. On location in southeast Vietnam, they are the stars of "Tropic Thunder", based on Vietnam war veteran 'Four Leaf' Tayback's memoirs of his rescue during the war, that rescue which was considered a near suicide mission for the assigned army force and resulted in him losing both hands.

For his role, Caucasian Australian Lazarus even went through a controversial surgical skin dying procedure so that he could convincingly play a black man. Production is not going well since rookie director Damien Cockburn is unable to control the prima-donna attitude of his three stars.

Immediately after the movie was released, chatter started about a solo film about the character—and the actor and studio, at one point, seemed ready to deliver. At one point, the Grossman spinoff even had a script from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World 's Michael Bacall, who said it was an R-rated film and "a pretty heartfelt story.

Still, talk of the film hasn't stopped completely. Tropic Thunder co-writer Justin Theroux revealed in a interview with Business Insider that he'd definitely be "game" for a Les-focused feature.

Theroux added that the idea has been discussed, but they "want to make sure the tone is right" and be sure they have the right story before they push forward. We live in an age of sequels, reboots, and remakes, and even if right now isn't the right time for a Tropic Thunder 2 , that doesn't mean it couldn't happen at some point.

We waited nearly a decade between Anchorman movies, after all—and although he may have ended up wishing he'd left well enough alone, Stiller took 15 years to get his Zoolander sequel in theaters. Right now, Stiller and the rest of the cast have fully booked schedules, and there aren't any apparent ideas for what the follow-up could entail—but there's no telling when a great idea might strike, and spots open up in actors' schedules just as suddenly.

Hollywood is always changing, and stranger things have always happened. The odds don't look great, but we wouldn't fully rule out a Tropic Thunder sequel. The cast is busy with other projects. A sequel would be hard to pull off. Ben Stiller's last sequel stumbled. While Stiller and his co-writers Justin Theroux and Etan Cohen wrote the screenplay, there were purely improvised moments in the final cut. One was Jay Baruchel's Kevin Sandusky talking about the rise of Blu-Rays ; Baruchel was talking about it on set and Stiller told him to do it in front of the cameras.

Tropic Thunder was the largest production ever staged on the island. Halfway through filming, the trainer called the set and announced that Bertha gave birth to a calf.

In honor of Black, the calf was named Little Jack. That bruise lasted six weeks. You cannot breathe all the way without it hurting. Filming the scenes from The Fatties —the movie within the movie in which Jeff Portnoy played the titular five characters— took three days.

Black caught up on sleep while his prosthetics and make-up were being applied. Other times he passed the time listening to This American Life on his iPod. At first, Stiller could only find 20 minutes that he would consider taking out.
