Could Ben Stiller inspire more funny T-shirts with his latest project?

Possibly one of the greatest comedy actors of his generation, Ben Stiller has probably made everyone at least smile with his on-screen antics.

Now the actor is turning his hand to a heist film, with Rush Hour 3 director Brett Ratner at the helm, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Writing for his blog on the site, Roger Friedman revealed that it's called Tower Heist and will follow a group of blue collar workers trying to rescue the money in their employee pension fund from a Ponzi scheme.

Apparently, the screenplay is in its final stages, having been written by Ted Griffin - who penned the Ocean's Eleven script - with the writer behind Fantastic Mr Fox Noah Baumbach adding the finishing touches.

We'll have to wait and see whether more Ben Stiller T-shirts will hit the shelves following this latest film.

Movies such as There's Something About Mary, Dodgeball and Tropic Thunder have provided cinema-goers with a host of slogan T-shirts, including classic lines such as: "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball".

Three guesses which of the aforementioned films that quote came from...
