Brett Ratner Confirms He's Directing 'God of War'

Written by bigpicture on

If he were around during the 1920s, Brett Ratner would probably have been rolling through your impoverished agrarian town selling snake oil. In the 21st century, he's a big time movie director and his own best (and worst) publicist. While Ratner's films have made a considerable amount of money - in fact, he's one of the more profitable directors of the past decade - his real talent is for selling Brett Ratner.

He's at his best with enormous, stupid action movies like Rush Hour. Nothing against Rush Hour, because the first one is pretty good, but they're all lousy stupid. And there's no harm in that. Where Ratner gets himself in trouble is when he changes things up. The only exception to that was the surprisingly strong and mellow Red Dragon, but that looked a lot like a Silence of the Lambs carbon copy more than its own entity.

This is what I meant a couple weeks ago when I said, without a hint of sarcasm, that he'd be perfect to direct a Guitar Hero movie. And I can prove that to you by showing you the other extreme: You didn't want him directing X-Men: The Last Stand, and I doubt you want him directing God of War.

The Rat is dead set on making that film, however, telling UGO that he's "waiting for the scripts and greenlights to come in" on a trio of projects, which includes the video game adaptation, plus a Hugh Hefner bio-pic and Beverly Hills Cop 4.
