David Jaffe Talks God of War, Brett Ratner, Kotaku Commenters
3:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Earlier today, Brett Ratner, director of the barely tolerable Rush Hour series and the miserable X-Men: The Last Stand, confirmed that he’ll be helming the God of War flick if and when the picture gets the greenlight. The reaction online has been, well, yeah. God of War designer David Jaffe has posted a video of himself addressing the reaction. Hey, Jaffe likes that X-Men movie Ratner made. It was entertaining! And he does remind everyone that Ratner is surrounded by intelligent, talent people so all is not lost. And when not pointing out the difference between Brett Ratner’s X-Men (popcorn!) and Bryan Singer’s X-Men (meaty), he offers a retort to Kotaku commenters who aren’t so thrilled about the Ratner picture.

Guess Who’s Making A ‘God Of War’ Movie?
8:30AM Michael McWhertor | This guy! Brett Ratner!

It already sounds better than that ill-conceived Guitar Hero movie adaptation, despite Mr. Ratner’s track record. We’re just interested to see how a game with this much violence and gratuitous nipple display will nab the much desired PG-13 rating. Brett Ratner Making God of War Film: Confirmed [UGO] More »
Brett Ratner’s Guitar Hero Movie Idea Sounds Crappy
6:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Hollywood director Brett Ratner (X-Men: The Last Stand, other tripe) has a dream. He wants to make a Guitar Hero movie. Listen to what Ratner has to say: I love Guitar Hero and I think it’s a part of pop culture. I would love to do a Guitar Hero movie, if Activision would ever let me. I’m trying to convince them, but why would you have a movie screw up such a huge franchise? Not that I would make a bad movie. So that would be cool, to do a Guitar Hero movie. We’re pretty sure that Brett Ratner never sets out to make a bad movie. Shit just happens, you know? For those still interested in what he has to say (masochist much?), hit the jump for Ratner’s plot idea: More »
