Cast[]

  • Jake Gyllenhaal as Zachary "Zac" Derby, a charismatic but slightly self-absorbed action star who plays a hotshot pilot known as Charles Blastray while dealing with his castmates' rather conflitive behavior, eventually granting him an Academy Award for Best Actor.
  • Joaquin Phoenix as Richard O'Shea, a serious and rather TBD Irish actor no longer on his prime, playing TBD as a way to recover from recent failures such as playing a terrible take on an iconic villain or a literal drug addict.

  • Billy Eichner as Lenny Davis, a slowly becoming irrelevant comedian who was once the biggest star on Saturday Night Live, now limited to lowbrow comedies, accepting to play Zgorne, the antagonist of Sunwreck, as a way to shift to serious roles and to show Hollywood he doesn't need to do toilet humor to be a TBD. He ends up winning an MTV Movie Award for Best Villain.

Trivia[]

  • While the studio responsible for the film-within-a-film is not specified, there's several hints it might be Touchstone's parent company Disney itself due to the exaggeration of TBD and Alan Tudyk having a role on it.
  • One of the reasons that led to Disney through Touchstone to co-produce and co-distribute the film was to have the chance of making a movie that mocks some of the greedy moves and decisions made by themselves.
  • Apatow's decision to cast Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jake's sister in real life, as Zac's wife in the movie was especially for laughs and shock humor due to its incestous subtext.
  • Each actor and the director are seen as an amalgam of several actors:
    • Zachary is based on Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, Daniel Craig, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Liam Neeson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicolas Cage, Christian Bale, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., Edward Norton, Mark Wahlberg, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson.
