Brett Ratner confirms he's making God of War movie

by Majed Athab { Sep 30th 2008 at 9:20PM }

Speaking to UGO, Hollywood director Brett Ratner confirmed that the God of War movie is in fact a project that he's currently working on. The only thing is, he's still waiting for the "green light" and the go signal to start ~~destroying~~ filming the Greek epic that is the story of Kratos. So what's keeping Ratner from going into full production? That little problem with a certain lawsuit over God of War's "copyright infringement" is probably the main cause. What do you think, dear readers? Are you happy that Ratner will be working on the God of War movie?

who is this guy?

Tim Parsons @ Sep 30th 2008 9:29PM

oh ok now i know who he is,. turns out he's doing Rush Hour 4 and Beverly Hills Cop IV as well,. damn I didnt think Eddie Murphy had it in him to do a real movie again

farfisa @ Oct 1st 2008 12:51PM

Then maybe they should use somebody else for the first few God of War movies, and he can just do the fourth ;)

Brett Ratner sucks. This movie will be horrible if he is the director. And if you say any of his movies are good, you have no taste.

Tim Parsons @ Sep 30th 2008 9:35PM

all of his movies "should" have been good,. the problem was him obviously lol

I liked the Rush Hour Series......

vctr_x @ Sep 30th 2008 9:31PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Calel @ Sep 30th 2008 9:38PM

He's not a complete hack, I really liked both Red Dragon (don't say Ed Norton directs himself) and The Family Man. If he has a strong enough cast he can pull off GoW.

Kamma @ Oct 1st 2008 5:47AM

Ed Norton DOES direct himself though. Look at the new Hulk movie, it was awful apart from when Norton was on screen.

HappyPalooza @ Sep 30th 2008 9:41PM

What? n-no... these are just... tears of joy...

Bill @ Sep 30th 2008 9:45PM

As long as the lines "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth" aren't uttered i'll be fine.

Jerry @ Sep 30th 2008 9:51PM

This guy is good he made X-men:3 and also the one that made the rush hour series, also musical videos I think he is ok

will @ Sep 30th 2008 9:59PM

that movie was AWFUL. also, he'll probably cast Vin Diesel as Kratos, just cause he kinda sorta looks the part, despite the fact he can't act.

Gambit07 @ Sep 30th 2008 9:51PM

Chris Tucker as Kratos confirmed.

kevin @ Sep 30th 2008 10:03PM

DYNOMYTEEE

oh wait

Xenophy @ Sep 30th 2008 10:02PM

I think that all video game based movies suck, and that it doesnt matter who the director is because its going to turn out to be awful no matter who is directing it

lorddshadow @ Sep 30th 2008 11:37PM

so you're saying that having uwe boll direct it would be just as bad? RIIIIIGGGGHHHTTT....

Twinturbo120 @ Sep 30th 2008 10:09PM

It should be interesting

Rodz @ Sep 30th 2008 10:55PM

At least it's not Uwe Boll...

paul @ Sep 30th 2008 10:58PM

Anyone up for Christopher Nolan or Ridley Scott making this?

Jaden Gatekeeper @ Sep 30th 2008 11:11PM

Okay here's the thing. Even if the Quality of the movie is okay, or even by a stretch of the immagination good, it won't be GoW by any means. Like all others Ratner has done, it's going to get butchered to death and won't have anything to do with the story. X3 Ring any bells? I think the quality of the movie will be good, but don't expect much of a story. Don't expect much of anything except Possibly a good cast, and some flashy effects.....

Deadpool @ Oct 1st 2008 12:10AM

He can't do any worse than what they're doing with Dragonball. Yes I believe Dragonball is going to be that horrible.

Ekon @ Oct 1st 2008 12:30AM

Ratner Sucks....X3 sucked..Rush Hour 3 had no soul...and now GOW...come on...there are plenty of directors out there who would love to do this movie. Why this guy.

CEEarl @ Oct 1st 2008 12:55AM

Okay guys and gals, I'm going to give my opinion. This is coming from someone that actually writes and produces films. I'm very happy with Brett as the director. He did direct XMen 3, which I'll defend my decision by saying I enjoyed it. Anyone that casts Ellen Page as an XMen doesn't have complete bad taste. Sorry, didn't enjoy Ben Aflect as Daredevil. I need more than that. A lot of fans were upset because some of our heros bit the dust. Being a comic book fan, that happens a lot and don't mean they have to stay dead. Jean Grey film anyone? Yes, it's in talks. And for all the bashers out there that thinks Brett is horrible, what do you guys think of the GOW television commercials with Kratos. I always thought they were well done with someone that actually resembles Kratos. Guess who directs them? Brett Ratner does.

Matt @ Oct 1st 2008 1:57AM

"someone that actually writes..."

Okay guy, I hate to be negative, but for a writer, you sure can't write. I understand that most internet posts are lacking in good grammar or clarity of thought, but this one takes the cake. You'd think an pretentious writer would have a little more self-respect about, you know, writing. You didn't even spell most of the names correctly. I do understand, however, why somebody like you would enjoy X3.

PAGETWO STM @ Oct 1st 2008 2:13AM

this guys face just scream PRICK i wanna smack him in the forehead

Grunj @ Oct 1st 2008 2:17AM

Here's hoping that lawsuit never, ever, everevereverever gets settled.

(Yeah, I appreciate the irony of bashing Ratner by quoting one of his films. )

Deadpool @ Oct 1st 2008 3:54AM

BUZZ!!

Ohhh...sorry wrong answer. That quote was from the movie 'Friday'. Although it starred Chris Tucker, it was not a movie directed by Ratner. I can see how that could be confusing.

The correct answer was "That's ciggaweed!". We also would have excepted "Do you understand the words coming out of my mouth?" or "Don't ever touch a black mans radio boy!".
