London, Aug 14 (IANS): American actor Justin Theroux, who co-wrote satirical comedy "Tropic Thunder" with Ben Stiller, wants to now direct a comedy.
Theroux, known for his role in "Your Highnes", admitted that working on 2008 movie "Tropic Thunder" made him realise how rewarding comedy can be.
"I've been working on 'Documental' for HBO, which I am the director of with Steve Coogan. I think I'd like to do a comedy," contactmusic.com quoted the 40-year-old as saying.
"When we did 'Tropic Thunder', Ben was such a good director. It was fun watching him and that's what is great about the action-comedy genre, you get to scratch the edge of doing big, huge movies but don't have to deliver on drama. I'd like to do something like that, an action comedy," he added.
