Washington, Aug. 14 (ANI): 'Rush Hour' director Brett Ratner is planning a remake of the classic film 'Ocean's Eleven' with an all-black cast.

His version of the film will star Eddie Murphy, Chris Tucker and Chris Rock.

A remake of the movie made in 2001 with George Clooney and Brad Pitt focused on a group of crack thieves in Las Vegas.

However, Ratner's version will follow the fortunes of a group of scheming janitors working at the Trump Tower in New York City.

"Eddie Murphy came to me with this idea to do a movie with all the comedians, with Chris Tucker - like this is his dream team - we haven't gotten these actors yet, but Chris Tucker, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx in one movie," Contactmusic quoted him as telling Moviehole.net.

"They all work in the Trump Towers, blue collar workers and one's a door man and one's a security guard and one's a janitor. And they rip off the Trump Tower," he added. (ANI)
