Judd Apatow’s movie-within-a-movie, Cliff Beasts 6, from his upcoming The Bubble, gets a trailer
The Bubble, Apatow's pandemic comedy for Netflix, houses Cliff Beasts 6 in a Tropic Thunder kind of way
In a move reminiscent of the opening sequence of Tropic Thunder, Judd Apatow is going in on fake movie trailers. For his upcoming pandemic comedy, The Bubble, Apatow takes his cast and crew to the top of a digital Mount Everest, where they can fight winged dinosaurs for the sixth time, apparently.
But Cliff Beasts 6: The Battle For Everest: Memories of a Requiem isn’t a real movie. It’s a movie within a movie, presumably the movie they’re making in The Bubble. It’s Apatow’s first release since he unfairly forced more Pete Davidson on a weary world in The King Of Staten Island in 2020.
The Bubble follows a group of actors stuck inside one of those pandemic quarantine bubbles you kept hearing about in 2020. Here, stars Karen Gillan, Fred Armisen, Maria Bakalova, Keegan-Michael Key, Rob Delaney, and David Duchovny, are filming their sixth Cliff Beasts movie, which feels like a blockbuster from a different time.
