Companion Piece to DreamWorks' Pictures 'Tropic Thunder' Available for
Downloading
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning today, DreamWorks
Pictures is offering an original documentary "Rain Of Madness," for download
exclusively on the iTunes Store (http://www.iTunes.com).
"Rain of Madness," starring Jay Baruchel, Jack Black, Steve Coogan, Robert
Downey Jr., Bill Hader, Nick Nolte and Ben Stiller, is a companion piece to
the hit comedy "Tropic Thunder," which debuted in theaters nationwide on
August 13, and serves as a documentary of the making-of the feature film. It
was shot on location in Hawaii, at the same locations used in the feature
film, and details the demise of the fictitious cast & crew of "Tropic
Thunder," as they struggle to finish shooting their film despite numerous
shooting, budgeting and casting problems.
"We wanted to do a fake documentary about the making of the movie within
the movie which is called 'Tropic Thunder' -- not the actual movie 'Tropic
Thunder.' The fake documentary focuses on the real movie's fake director, and
what happens to the fake cast before they go into the real jungle. It's pretty
straightforward," says Ben Stiller, one of the stars of the documentary and
the director/star/producer and co-writer of "Tropic Thunder."
"Original material for web consumption is a growing area for us, and 'Rain
of Madness,' dovetails perfectly with the theatrical release of 'Tropic
Thunder.' They complement and reinforce one another, while staying true to
the comedic sensibility that Ben and his team brought to 'Tropic Thunder'. We
hope fans will appreciate this exclusive digital content and continue the
experience at http://www.RainOfMadness.com," says Amy Powell, Senior Vice
President, Interactive Marketing, Paramount Pictures.
