Ben Stiller Recruits Top Talent For 'The Fake Trailer Project'

Ben Stiller Can't Get Enough Of Fake 'Tropic Thunder' Trailers

As anyone who’s seen Helen Mirren sink her fangs into Billy Crystal’s neck in When Harry Met Sally 2 or Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd share a passionate hug in Brokeback to the Future knows, there’s a special pleasure to be found in fake trailers. Now Ben Stiller, who helped popularize the form with the faux previews for The Fatties, Satan’s Alley, and Scorcher 6 at the beginning of his 2008 comedy Tropic Thunder, is recruiting Hollywood’s top talent to create a web series of at least a dozen fake trailers.
