Before someone reads this preview before hitting the jump...I'll just copy and paste a random quote from somewhere. Until you actually hit the jump. "there's two theories to aruguing with women. neither one works some people are funny. they spend money they don't have, to buy things they don't need, to impress people they don't like... she who laughs, lasts the early bird get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese stop the q-tip when you hit resistance." Ok now here's hoping you actually hit the jump. So apparently, there goes a rumor circulating around the internets that Brett Ratner is slated to direct the live action God of War movie. [url=http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/25/rumor-ratner-to-turn-god-of-war-film-into-geek-tragedy/]Source[/img] I don't know about you people, but the only difference I see between Uwe Boll and Brett Ratner is a bigger budget. We can all agree that X-Men 3 absolutely sucked, I don't know what the hell they were thinking when they even let Ratner remotely come close to touching those series of movies or any other movies that he will ever touch. Just ask Jackie Chan, whose renown work with his Rush Hour series was by far self-admittedly, his lowest in his career. I wonder if Chris Tucker is going to be Kratos now?
Well, in all fairness Ratner didn't come on board for X-Men 3 until a few weeks before they actually started shooting. He was basically a short notice director for hire on that one.
That said, I wouldn't consider anything else he's done or been more involved with cinematic masterpieces. He's competent but has no real vision. Definitely not who I want directing the God of War movie.
Give the job to Lucas and Spielberg. Then Kratos can find out he's got a long lost son that everyone but him knows about, and then survive the eruption of Pompei by hiding in a wicker basket.
don't need lucas or speiberg on this one. we need tarranteno or that other guy who did grindhouse.rodriguez i think. as long as they don't write it but just say "needs more blood" and "needs more boob" then it'll be a hit. if uwe boll gets this job we're fucking doomed. that's all i need is a movie with good actors but horrible acting and directing. who gave this guy money? he's like a stray dog, you give him soom food and he'll follow you home and think your house is home.
As far as the story... Ratner can suck a fat one. That ass clown took the action out of Jackie Chan. Just watch the "making of" special on the Rush Hour 2 DVD and he spells it out for you. To paraphrase, "American audiences can't handle action." Hey buddy, fuck you. How the hell is he going to make God of War then? Turn it in to some love story? Bore us with the details and add a side kick comedy relief? FUCK... YOU!

I'm with GA.
Maybe Gears, but not God of War.
He did Red Dragon.....and I liked that movie....
They need someone with an epic film under their belt... like Ridley Scott.

Um, "A" for effort on the post?
