The comedic-action "spoof" about the making of a Vietnam War movie arrives with an "Unrated Director's Cut".
THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS COMEDY BLOCKBUSTER OF THE YEAR EXPLODES IN AN UNRATED DIRECTOR´S CUT
ON DVD AND BLU-RAY - Hysterical Box Office Smash Takes Audiences by Storm November 18, 2008 with Never-Before-Seen Footage, an Alternate Ending, a Hilarious Faux Documentary, Commentaries and Much, Much More!
On November 18 DreamWorks will release the summer action "spoof" TROPIC THUNDER on DVD and Blu-ray. Ben Stiller's latest film is a satirical drama about the making of a Vietnam War movie, which he directed and co-wrote with Justin Theroux and Etan Cohen. It stars Stiller himself, along with riveting performances by Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr, among others, including a widely-praised supporting cameo by Tom Cruise.
"The best comedy of the year" (Newsweek) that "will blow your mind" (Rolling Stone) takes no prisoners when TROPIC THUNDER deploys on November 18, 2008 in a Unrated Director´s Cut on DVD and Blu-ray, as well as in a standard single-disc DVD. Directed by and starring Ben Stiller (Zoolander) and featuring an all-star cast, TROPIC THUNDER is "laugh-until-your-stomach-hurts hilarious" (San Francisco Chronicle).
The film follows five pampered actors on the set of a Vietnam War movie who are thrust into real-life danger and forced to become the fighting unit they´re portraying in order to survive. The result is an over-the-top, unforgettable film that is "a knockout of a comedy that keeps you laughing" (Rolling Stone).
The TROPIC THUNDER Unrated Director´s Cut 2-disc DVD set includes the feature film with over 14 minutes of never-before-seen footage and comes fully loaded with an arsenal of special features that take viewers even deeper into the s**t including "Rain of Madness", an uproarious faux documentary about the making of the film within a film, filmmaker and cast commentaries (including some in character), behind-the-scenes featurettes, cast profiles, "Dispatches from the Edge of Madness", deleted and extended scenes, including an alternate ending, TROPIC THUNDER at the MTV Movie Awards and more.
For the home video release, DreamWorks (thru Paramount distribution) offers a standard Widescreen DVD of the R-Rated theatrical edition ($29.99), 2-disc Widescreen Unrated Director's Cut ($36.99), and on high-definition Blu-ray the studio also presents the Unrated Director's Cut ($39.99) in a single disc edition.
