Brett Ratner reveals O11 was his idea.

Oceans Eleven ….the Scumbag version?

In his interview with chud.com Brett Ratner reveals it was his idea to re-make Ocean’s Eleven but he would have done it a bit different with the grunge and chain-smokin’ actors….

**********************
Ratner: Oceans 11 I wanted to redo, it was my idea to remake that movie. I couldn’t do it because I had to do Rush Hour 2, but I wanted to do it just to protect it almost. I met with Clooney to star in it, actually.

Q: Really?

Ratner: Before Family Man. Before Soderbergh was on. He said, ‘That’s sacrilegious.’ Are you kidding me? They did one take and shot it in 23 days! It was a bunch of guys getting together.

My version was going to be much different. My version was going to be the scumbag version. It was going to be Nic Cage, Charlie Sheen, Chris Penn, Sean Penn. All the fucking – Christian Slater. All the guys who really smoke cigarettes.

Q: Set it down here, in the crappier Vegas.

Ratner: Mine was like the grungy… Don Rickles and stuff. I even have the original script I got from Ted Griffin, because I had Ted Griffin write the first draft. Next to every character I put all the names of who would play the characters.
