Casey Affleck was keen to take part in Tower Heist (2011), as he really wanted to do a comedy and was very rarely being approached to do anything other than serious drama.
Universal Pictures wanted a final extra scene to be shot, to show what happened to the characters played by Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. The latter said he would only do it if he was paid an additional $500,000, so the scene was dropped.
The signing on of Ben Stiller as the lead was instrumental in coaxing Eddie Murphy back to the project.
The only improvised scene was when Odessa instructs Slide how to crack a safe in a very suggestive manner.
The original idea for the movie came from Eddie Murphy, who first pitched it to both director and producer Brett Ratner and Brian Grazer, years before the project was finally launched.
"Mr. Fitzhugh: Shouldn't we be avoiding law enforcement? I never saw an episode of Matlock where the criminal banged Matlock!"
"Josh Kovacs: To get in the building, we have to avoid seven exterior cameras and six doormen who work at two entrance points in rotating shifts. Once inside, we'll be faced with four security officers who monitor a bank of twelve internal cameras, as well as two security guards who vary the patrol route each day. If we make it through all that, we still have to get through this gauntlet of employees to get to the elevators. Questions? Slide: Yeah! Who that girl in the red dress? She got the kind of titties I like to play with. Charlie: That's Mary-Ann from sales; she's a lesbian. Josh Kovacs: Okay, that's irrelevant. Mr. Fitzhugh: Mary-Ann is a lesbian? She was married when she sold me my unit. Charlie: She makes lesbian sex with Lynn Rutherford from accounting. Josh Kovacs: Okay. Mr. Fitzhugh: Lynn is a lesbian? Enrique Dev'Reaux: Wait, I'm lost. How many lesbians total do we have to avoid? Josh Kovacs: None; we're not avoiding lesbians. Slide: I don't avoid lesbians at all; I seek lesbians out. Lesbians got the nicest titties. Straight women, they have guys pulling and yanking on them and sweating on them. Lesbians get touch delicately by other lesbians; It's nice. Josh Kovacs: Did anyone just take in what I just said? Charlie: Well, it seems like there's a gauntlet of lesbians. Josh Kovacs: No. The... Alright, I'm just gonna keep going."
