First Look: Brett Ratner's 'Tower Heist,' With Ben Stiller And Eddie Murphy

Briefly: We just saw a behind the scenes photo from Brett Ratner's Tower Heist in Page 2 this morning, but here's a real still, scanned from Entertainment Weekly. You probably don't need the rundown on the lineup here, but from l-r that's Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick, Michael Pena, Casey Affleck and, yep, Eddie Murphy. They're the crew that works in a high-rise building where the penthouse is occupied by an unscrupulous businessman under house arrest. (He's played by Alan Alda.) The Wall St. crook has taken the crew's pension, and they aim to steal it back.

Not pictured are Téa Leoni, Gabourey Sidibe, and Judd Hirsch. It's a hell of a cast, and my generally dismissive views of Brett Ratner notwithstanding, I'm hoping for something good here. Would be so good to see Eddie Murphy in a film that was worth a damn. Dreamgirls was a recent positive blip in an otherwise dismal late career. [via The Playlist]
