Source I really don't know what's worse. The fact they are thinking about doing a Guitar Hero movie, or the fact Bret Ratner is still allowed to direct films
The only way I could see a movie about a group of kids trying to win a battle of the bands sort of thing and have it actually be something I would want to watch is if it was a documentary. A Hollywood movie would have a Hollywood safe for the mid-west band with safe for Wal*Mart songs. The band will have one chick and one minority kid in it. One kid is troubled, and the others have to bring him out of his shell because he’s the only one who’s got what it takes to rip the nasty guitar licks they need to win the contest. We will call him Johnny for now. Then there are the other bands. They will all be some sort of stereotype but only in looks because we have to keep it safe for the mid-west. So there will be the “punk” band but they wont really represent what a punk band is, just one of them will have a mohawk and there will be some leather with studs, (but no spikes that’s going to far). When the sort of innocent nerdy guy from our hero band (because come on there has to be a nerd in our ragtag bunch of rockers) tries to talk to then they give him a Billy Idol like sneer and the nerdy guy nervously turns away “Oh my… Um I think I hear my mother calling nerr-err-err.” Another band is going to have to be the cool kids from the school that are also likely the source of our troubled lead guitarists problems and boy are they going to get there’s when Johnny unleashes his STAR POWER! during the concert that the towns old crazy guy that everyone told him to stay away from but he could tell there was something more to him turns out was a massive rock star in the 70’s that every one forgoten about taught him how to bring out of himself and what the hell lets cast Gene Simmons to play that guy to ad a level of creepy to the whole thing
Wow. Brett Ratner...still making movies? And it's gonna be based on Guitar Hero? Further proof that Hollywood is mentally impaired.
Think of it this way: as long as he is making crap like Guitar Hero (or Rush Hour, or whatever), he can't be running comic book franchises into the ground. . .I say, go for it Rat!
Can you imagine if we were just as obssessed with popculture items in the past enough to make movies about them?!? Parachute Pants: THE MOVIE With an appearence by: MC HAMMER.
A Guitar Hero movie? You have got to be kidding me. Even Uwe Boll wouldn't go for such a lame video game movie idea such as this!
If it was a King of Kong-style documentary about that kid who's parents let him quit school for it, I would be interested in seeing it. This idea...sounds just like every other bad, bad teen feel-good movie based on something kids like. --Moony
Why is it that when ever anything is remotely good someone wants to make a big budget movie about it...like it will somehow make it so much better.
If he screws of the God of War movie I will kill him. I swear, he will die by my blade. I have horrific visions of some PG-13 nonsense involving Kratos running around with a sidekick and making witty oneliners.
Brett Ratner should stick to making Rush Hour movies. That way no will see the dreadful horror he puts to film.
