Ben Stiller to plan 'Trump Heist'?

Ben Stiller may play the lead in "Trump Heist," an upcoming Universal heist flick that's been in development for quite a while. Chris Rock, Chris Tucker and Eddie Murphy were previously in talks to star. 24 Frames reports Stiller is in talks to play a guy who assembles a team to swindle the residents of the Trump Tower in New York. The project (also known as "Tower Heist") is described as an "Ocean's Eleven" heist flick.

The recent draft was written by Leslie Dixon, but word is Universal brought Noah Baumbach on board to tweak the script a little but. Baumbach also recently directed Stiller in his upcoming film "Greenberg." Finally, filmmaker Brett Ratner is still attached to direct "Heist." Stiller will also soon be seen in "Little Fockers." "Greenberg," by the way, opens in theaters March 26, 2010. I'm looking forward to that one, for sure.
