Downey Jr. will play Kirk Lazarus, the greatest actor of his generation and a four-time Oscar winner. Baruchel will play Kevin Sandusky, an unknown actor on the set and Stiller plays Speedman.

I still say this is a rip-off of Galaxy Quest! Look at all the similarities! Plus there is that whole Laraus thing.

Every time I read a plot synopsis on this... I think "Three Amigos!"

Call it Three Amigos, Galaxy Quest, Airplane, Hot Shots, Hot Shots Part Deux... whatever... I loved them all... but don't call it Naked Gun >1, those were unfunny funny.

I never anticipated a comedy like I'm anticipating this one. Ialso think this film will kick ass. Notafan makes a fair point but where all the action takes place makes it different enough, not to mention that it's rated R so we'll get some naughty jokes.
