MOVIES MADE INSIDE MOVIES

There’s a scene in Chris Rock’s 2014 movie Top Five where a fake film called Boo! is playing, featuring Tyler Perry’s Madea character trapped in a haunted house. Perry took notice and decided the world needed the real thing — which brings us to Tyler Perr

THE DOGWALKER

Inside the movie Trainwreck are a few scenes for this black-andwhite romantic comedy starring Daniel Radcliffe and Marisa Tomei. He smokes, he’s roped to about a dozen canines, he’s got a tragic backstory — and he can handle your dog.

HOME FOR PURIM

Christopher Guest’s For Your Consideration features this holiday Oscar hopeful, about a 1940s Southern Jewish family, its matriarch (played by Marilyn Hack, played by Catherine O’Hara) dying of cancer. “Is that my sweet Rachel’s voice I heard? Or am I just goin’ meshuga?”

CHUBBY RAIN

We get a taste of this sciencefiction action movie, starring Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy) and his brother Jiff (also Eddie Murphy) at the end of the Steve Martin comedy Bowfinger. But imagine the real Eddie Murphy stepping up to do the whole thing. “It had rained that day. But was it normal rain, or was it — chubby rain?”

HAMLET

Arnold Schwarzenegger takes on the role of the Danish Prince in a fake trailer during 1993’s Last Action Hero. “To be or not to be?” (Lights cigar) “Not to be.” (Massive explosion in background.) Other great line readings: “Hey Claudius? You killed my fah-da. Big mistake.”

Not everything Ben Stiller touches turns to gold: See Zoolander 2, or Night at the Museum 3. But his character, Tugg Speedman, has a movie career all his own. And who wouldn’t want to see at least a few of his Scorcher movies — though maybe not Scorcher VI: Global Meltdown: “Here we go again — again!” Or what about his Forrest Gumpian turn in Simple Jack. Maybe that studio executive who looks nothing like Tom Cruise will produce it?
