Brett Ratner hasn’t exactly been having the best of weeks so far: his highly-hyped comedy Tower Heist opened in second place at the box office and he recently stepped down as producer of next year’s Oscar telecast following use of an anti-gay slur at a screening of his movie over the weekend.

Never one to let failure get him down (because if he did he would have fled Hollywood long ago), Ratner has turned his attention to a slew of film projects including a new movie with his Tower Heist star Eddie Murphy, a spy drama entitled Hunting Eichmann, and most tantalizing a remake of the 1982 cult classic teen comedy The Last American Virgin.

Ratner briefly discussed his plans to remake The Last American Virgin during his interview Monday on Howard Stern’s radio show. You can listen to that part of the interview here below.
