'Tropic Thunder' Presents the Documentary 'Rain of Madness'

rainmadnessposter.jpgI first saw this at \film, and I'm inclined to agree that it's better in concept than execution, if only because the concept is almost unbeatable. We already know quite a bit about Tropic Thunder - a war movie turns real, Robert Downey becomes a black guy - and now there's a very cool twist.

Spoofing Apocalypse Now and the documentary about its filming, Heart of Darkness, Tropic Thunder has come up with Rain of Madness, a phony documentary about the events in the film, and the unraveling of the most expensive war movie of all time.

It's Red Band, so there's some R-rated dialogue, although the best line is from the narrator: "After only five days of shooting, the film was two months behind schedule..."

I would love for an actual mockumentary to pop up on the DVD, but the fake trailer is good enough for now.

Please, check out Rain of Madness - with more Steve Coogan than we've seen in the Tropic Thunder trailers - from "acclaimed documentary filmmaker" Jan Jurgen.
