Film director Brett Ratner revealed to New York radio station Hot 97 earlier today (August 1) that he is currently working on a new project with an all-star cast including Eddie Murphy, Chris Tucker, Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx and Dave Chappelle.
According to Ratner, Murphy called him to direct the untitled flick, which will star the aforementioned actors as employees of the Trump Tower, conspiring to rip off the building's residents.
Ratner also divulged that Denzel Washington might be added to the cast by the time the flick begins production in January 2008. The movie is presently being put together by Russell Gerwitz, who wrote the script for Inside Man which also starred Washington.
Ratner has directed music videos for Wu-Tang Clan, LL Cool J, Mariah Carey and Sean "Diddy" Combs. His film credits include the Rush Hour series, Money Talks, X Men: The Last Stand and The Family Man, among others.

True. And I'm pretty sure the script will be good too. I can't see those guys doing a movie together when the script sucks...
-
wow that's a powerhouse of comedians from the last 3 decades
80's king-eddie murphy
90's king- chris rock
00's king- dave chappelle
then you have jammie foxx who was one of the funniest dudes on In Living Color, and one of the hottest actors out, and denzel maybe.
shit has a lot of potential to be a classic....or the hugest disappointment.

word. the hype alone might kill it

as long as it gets an R rating it'll be amazing. shit, that's so much talent in one place!

One thing for sure is the fact that Brett Ratner is an incredible director, hands down. The other thing too is Ratner & Chris Tucker have already proven that they have director/actor chemistry with the Money Talks & Rush Hour flicks. As for Murphy, Rock, Chappelle & Foxx, it'll be interesting to see how they'll mesh in the script. Last but not least, Ratner mentioned the other night on Jay Leno that for the Rush Hour movies, he let Tucker & Chan improvise a lot of their lines, which is important when it comes to doing comedies, since timing & delivery is key. So I'm assuming he'll also let this all-star cast improvise at will, since being in the "comic zone" can happen at a moments notice. I'm curious how Denzel Washington will fit in all of this? Nonetheless, I just hope the hype doesn't disappoint in the end. Sometimes too much is too much, but I'll give Ratner the benefit of the doubt on this one.
-
oh shit i don't know how i didn't see Chris tucker in there.
wow, that shit is stacked.
-
I'm praying to the movie Gods this will not suck, and become an instant classic... that's a lot of talent in one movie.
Heck, throw in Bernie Mac for a cameo...

Mike Epps is a B-list comedian...Not saying he ain't funny, but do you really think his name will fit in with the likes of Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, Chris Tucker, etc...?

The day Mike Epps can pull off a role like "Norbit" is the day he'll be included in the cast...

LMFAO, The Honneymooners was the shittiest movie I've ever seen. It's the one time I've fallen asleep in the theater, I just laid on 3 or 4 of the seats and passed out. It was such a worthless movie. Norbit was hilarious, and I think NIK's point is that Mike Epps doesn't have THAT type of talent. He's not on that level to pull something like that off. That's regardless of whether or not you thought Norbit was a funny movie.

i think mike epps is one of the funniest dudes

Funny how this turned into Mike epps. His routine is old i find.

mike epps best movie IMO is its all about the benjamins. he's nowhere near eddie murphy in any facet of the film industry.

LOL, not really.

Mike Epps is a funny dude but he ain't no where near the level of Eddie Murphy 8)

Murphy > > > > > Epps

This HAS to have an R Rating... Seems like it'll be one funny ass movie. With that line up, you would only hope it doesn't dissapoint.
-
The outlook seems really good - Ratner makes entertaining flicks, they got a dream cast of black comedians and the idea sounds funny.
Seems too good to be true really... But if such a movie were to be made, I would see it.
-
dude this would have to be the best comedy ever
-
this is gonna be HILARIOUS :o :o
on the topic of mike epps, that dude is hilarious!! LOVED his character day-day
but i agree murphy is on some classic status
-
All this movie needs is a surprise guest appearance by Martin Lawrence to offcially become the "Ocean's Eleven" of comedies.
