Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder, which has been in rumored development for over a decade and has long ago been mistaken for dead, is set to start filming this July, according to Production Weekly. Stiller will star and direct from a script he wrote with Etan Cohen (Idiocracy) and actor Justin Theroux. The story follows a group of actors who go through a simplified, Hollywood-style boot camp to prepare for a big-budget war movie, and then end up having to use their miniscule combat knowledge when they're dropped into the middle of a real-life war. Stiller hasn't written or directed anything since the 2001 cult hit Zoolander. Presumably, he's been too busy making oodles of cash.
Recently, Stiller announced his interest in filming a sequel to Zoolander. He's also set to direct and star in a TV project for his wife Christine Taylor, and he recently finished shooting a remake of The Heartbreak Kid for the Farrelly Bros.
