How Do You Make Video Game Movies Suck More? Add in a Heaping Spoonful of Brent Ratner
Thought video game movies couldn’t get any worse? Wait until you see what Brent Ratner’s got up his sleeve. Note to Brent: you might want to wash that sleeve before you put that shirt back on again.
The director of the “Rush Hour” trilogy and the ultra horrid “X-Men 3″ may be sinking his claws into video game franchise movies soon, according to Variety.
Here’s what we know so far. Ratner’s production company produced a couple of commercials with the two “American Idol” finalists jumping around in their underwear to advertise the latest “Guitar Hero” video game because his production company’s goal is to sell as few products as possible by making people subconsciously vomit every time they see it.
Ratner hopes the ad agency ties will help create some good ties when it comes to making a video game movie, much in the same way a cobra hopes a nice juicy mouse will help him carry some groceries into his hole.
Ratner assures his audiences that his new ad agency will not become a full fledged agency, but rather a movie studio that subconsciously advertises things to the highest bidder, just in the same way his casting of Chris Tucker in the “Rush Hour” movies was an advertisement for Noise-Stop Ear Plugs and his direction of Hugh Jackman in “X-Men 3″ was a subliminal advertisement for Big Ol’ Ham Canned Ham.
