Brett Ratner makes movies. He directed stuff like the Rush Hour series and the third X-Men movie. Recently, he confirmed to UGO.com's Movie Blog that yes indeedy, he's going to be working on the big screen adaptation of the God of War video game series.

Now, this could either be a good or bad thing depending on what your stand is on Ratner and the stuff he churns out. He hasn't mentioned if he'll be working as the director or producer, although his Wikipedia entry lists him as director. Ratner's IMDB page doesn't mention the God of War movie at all.

Personally, I couldn't care less who directs this movie as long as it gets an R rating. Who wants to watch a wussed-up God of War movie, anyway? And I've long since given up on game-to-movie adaptations, although the sheer unfaithfulness of the Super Mario Bros. movie to the game did end up turning it into something enjoyably weird.

Anyway, Ratner said that the movie is still waiting to be greenlit. Perhaps the lawsuit brought against David Jaffe and Sony Computer Entertainment America has something to do with the delay. We'll bring you more updates as soon as we get them.

So long as it isnt Uwe Boll behind the movie.

It might end up sucking, but it couldnt suck half as much as if Boll got his filthy hands on it -_-
