He might've started out as just another of Hong Kong's many many comedians, but Stephen Chow is definitely rising up in the world. Most recently, Sony announced that not only will Chow be playing the role of Kato (a role originally played by Bruce Lee) in the Green Hornet remake, but he'll be directing the movie too!

Ben Stiller’s movies have always been a killer. If you have seen Zoolander or Starsky and Hutch, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Now, the funnyman is back with a new movie – Tropic Thunder. Starring Stiller, Robert Downey Jr and Jack Black, Tropic Thunder is about a group of actors filming a movie about the Vietnam War. During filming their director is fed up and decides to abandon the actors, leaving them to fight their way out of the war-torn jungle.

The movie also starts funnyman Steve Coogan and also has cameos of big names including Tyra Banks, Tom Cruise, Tobey Maguire and veteran actor Jon Voight. Tropic Thunder opens here in cinemas on 23 October. Watch the video above for a sneak peek of this hilarious movie!

If you’re a fan of local movies, here’s another one to look out for. A new local tele-movie, “Missing You…”, has just started filming at Kallang Leisure Park on 6 September. Starring MediaCorp artistes Dasmond Koh, Joshua Ang and veteran actress and host Xu Qiong Fang, “Missing You…” tells the stories of a Ge Tai icon who is abused by her husband and a shop assistant who dreams of fulfilling her childhood dream – to perform for her grandmother at a Ge Tai. “Missing You…” will be available on DVD and VCD format in November this year. The movie is in Mandarin with Chinese and English subtitles.
