Paramount studios has announced that Less Grossman, a minor character in "Tropic Thunder"(2008), will have his own film.
Tom Cruise had a short, but hilarious part in the movie as the high powered producer in "Tropic Thunder". Although his cameo was hilarious and well received by many viewers I do not believe that a feature film is a good idea.
I don't think that the Hollywood executives have ever heard the term "Too much of a good thing...". Instead of deciding to film one of the numerous screenplay submissions that they probably have in a slush pile somewhere, the executives decide to recycle old material in an attempt to maximize profit.
I am desperately hoping that this movie is not a success, proving to studios that more original ideas will be necessary to achieve success.
