Ratner Rumor: Brett Ratner in Talks For $100 Million Conan Reboot?
Before I shower, thought I’d get this item out of the way. Dread Central is reporting that director Brett Ratner—who is reeling from having his lifelong dream of Guitar Hero: The Movie dashed by Activision—is being sought by Nu Image for their Conan reboot.

Don't Buy 'Guitar Hero', So That Brett Ratner Can Make a Movie About It
At the VMAs this weekend, Defamer spoke to an uncomfortably greasy Brett Ratner about his idea for a Guitar Hero movie. He had this to say about the likelihood of it getting made: As long as it's really successful, they'll never let me do it. But I think if it starts going down and nobody starts buying Guitar Heroes, maybe, to revitalize it, they'll let me make the movie. Good idea, Brett. Make a movie about a Guitar Hero tournament once the game is unpopular. And The Wizard really should have come out a

No ‘Guitar Hero’ for Brett Ratner
Over the past months, Brett Ratner has been talking about his wish to direct a movie based on the popular “Guitar Hero” video game, but according to EW, it’s not going to happen anytime soon. Apparently, the game’s parent company Activision doesn’t dig Ratner’s plan. "I'd really like to do it, but they're not letting me," Ratner told EW. "I expressed my interest, but because it's such a success, it's like now there's no reason to make a movie about it." Still, Ratner said he’s not giving up

Brett Ratner Whines ‘They Won’t Let Me Make Guitar Hero Movie’
Brett Ratner is a hack director who puts out films like Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2, Rush Hour 3, and X-Men 3. So it should come as no surprise that he wants to keep that disappointing streak alive by bringing Guitar Hero to the big screen. Oh but wait, someone thinks that’s a terrible idea: “I’d really like to do it, but they’re not letting me,” he tells EW.com. “I expressed my interest, but because it’s such a success, it’s like now there’s no reason to

Activision Will NOT Allow Brett Ratner make GUITAR HERO Movie
Last month, The director of Rush Hour movies, Brett Ratner expressed his interest in making a GUITAR HERO Movie based on the ridiculously popular game but he told EW recently that as much as he wants to.. he can’t. “I’d really like to do it, but they’re not letting me… I expressed my interest, but because it’s such a success, it’s like now there’s no reason to make a movie about it….

To Make the 'Guitar Hero' Movie, Brett Ratner Needs You To Stop Buying the Game [Defamer Interviews]
While conducting interviews at the VMAs yesterday, the nearby booth advertising Rock Band 2 was the cacophonous bane of our existence — though no one was more unhappy to see it than director Brett Ratner. As you may recall, the Defamer-beloved auteur (and big penis enthusiast) aspires to direct a film adaptation based on Rock Band's rival video game franchise, Guitar Hero. Since the idea continues to boggle our minds, we knew we had to venture a question, even if the resulting Defamer-on-Ratner interactio

Brett Ratner The Barbarian?
Ya see now this is just the kinda thing I don’t wanna hear right before I have to go outside and do some errands cause then I’d get upset and do something stupid and somebody might get injured.

Brett Ratner Unveils The Superman Movie That Never Was
FROM SPLASH PAGE: Once upon a time, Bryan Singer and Brett Ratner swapped movies – Brett got the third “X-Men” and Bryan got “Superman,” which in his hands was “Superman Returns” starring Brandon Routh. We all know how that turned out. But what would have happened if Ratner had continued along his merry way and done the “Superman” he wanted? What would it have been about? Brendan Fraser, who saw the script written by J.J. Abrams, was impressed. So was Ratner, who filled us in on the story

Ratner THE DESTROYER?
Brett Ratner, who it seems is “in talks” for every big studio epic that gets greenlit, is linked today with Nu Image/Millennium Films’ CONAN THE BARBARIAN. In fact, Dread Central go as far to say the offer is out to Ratner and it’s his if he wants it. Robert Rodriguez, Neil Marshall and Rob Zombie had shown interest but couldn’t strike up a deal with the studio. Just last month we heard that the two writers behind the upcoming Viking STV movie OUTLANDER had been hired to r

SUPERMAN in Brett Ratner’s vision
A long time ago, when dinosaurs walked the earth… I take that back, it wasn’t that ancient but a while back, before the 2006 Superman movie, the director of Rush Hour movies, Brett Ratner was said to be the one to bring Superman back to the big screen, this is was also way back when there were awful rumors that Brendan Fraser or even Nicolas Cage might be playing the Man of Steel, holy crap! But then Ratner and Bryan Singer swap projects. Ratner did X-Men 3 which turned out to be a total disast

I Think Your Plot Is Missing
“I’d really like to do it, but they’re not letting me… I expressed my interest, but because it’s such a success, it’s like now there’s no reason to make a movie about it…. The game is wish-fulfilling, everyone can be a rock star… I might prevail… I usually do.” I keep expecting Ratner to say, “Haha!  April Fools!” How exactly would one make a Guitar Hero movie?   As the ever astute Mr. Ratner has pointed out, the mass appeal

Appreciate Your Video Store Clerk
Okay, I have the WORST case of writer’s block ever.   EVER.   Nothing’s coming to me.  No movies are enticing me.   Nothing is making me angry or blissfully happy.   Not even freaking Die Hard is working, and that’s saying something.  I can tell in a couple of days that unmitigated rage bubbling forth from my soul will cure this, as P.S. I Love You is currently en route to my place of habitation, but I just wrote a post about Guitar Hero and Brett Ratner, so here’s somethin

A “Big Lebowski” Sequel? Hoffman And Moore Are Game
Screw the “sky is falling” rumors that Brett Ratner might look at Nu Image’s Conan script, I figured we’d end Thursday with some much more exciting speculation: after yet another special edition DVD release of The Big Lebowski, two more co-stars are reportedly down for a sequel - assuming the Coen Brothers would ever be interested. The idea’s been kicking around half-seriously ever since John Turturro first dreamt about a sequel involving his bowling ball-licking pederast Jesu

Activision Stops Guitar Hero Movie
A couple weeks back we told you that Brett Ratner really wanted to make a Guitar Hero movie and my reaction was pretty much... say what? I couldnt fathom how on earth you could possibly turn Guitar Hero into an interesting movie. Now Brett Ratner is saying it wont happen since the game studio Activision has blocked the move. CAV quotes Brett as saying; "I'd really like to do it, but they're not letting me," Ratner told EW. "I expressed my interest, but because it's such a success, it's like now there's
