This is a pointer to a fic I wrote last August, immediately after my first viewing of
Tropic Thunder.
Title: Primrose PathFandom: Um. So this is fic of
Satan's Alley, one of the trailers of movies that don't exist, from the beginning of the movie that
does exist,
Tropic Thunder. I know, this is a fandom of like, four. It is likely possible to find the trailer at youtube or similar, should you wish to refresh your memory.
Pairing: Kirk Lazarus/Tobey Maguire (see note)
Summary: Kirk is a method actor, and his preparation for
Satan's Alley is no different from any other role.
Rating: Adult
Words: 3850
A/N and disclaimers: Where to begin. Okay, for one thing, that trailer is basically all the canon that exists. I console myself with the knowledge that it's as much canon as we've ever had for Hannah Abbott or Gabrielle Delacouer, and people write fic about them anyway. For another, this isn't RPS; I make no claim that
actual Tobey Maguire, who in that trailer is playing Tobey Maguire, is actually represented here at all. This is the character that would be the actor in that movie. Kirk Lazarus is a character in
Tropic Thunder, in which he is a rather thoroughly invested method actor. His method means not breaking character, course, but also, canon (TT, not SA) suggests that sometimes his research may be flawed and/or not cover everything. Oh, and, thanks to
emiime for beta and suggestions.
