Arriving in theaters today, TOWER HEIST promises to deliver the goods in bringing together both “comedy” and “caper” genres as well as returning EDDIE MURPHY to the kind of comic role that made him a star. Telling the story of how the staff at an upscale Manhattan condo conspires to steal back their retirement money stolen by the billionaire living in the penthouse, the film is directed by BRETT RATNER and features an ensemble cast that has MURPHY sharing the screen with BEN STILLER, MATTHEW BRODERICK, GABOUREY SIDIBE, ALAN ALDA, CASEY AFFLECK and TEA LEONI.

A veteran of both television and film, BEN STILLER was on the lookout for another comedy project and, in a recent interview, tells us that TOWER HEIST filled the bill perfectly. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
