God of War fans looking for some sort of film confirmation at this years Comic-Con, had a bone thrown their way in the form of a tiny leak courtesy of MGM’s “Robocop Reboot” press release. Below is a snippet from the release:

“David Self’s credits include 13 Days and Road To Perdition. He wrote God of War for Universal, to which Brett Ratner is attached to direct, and was a writer on Universal’s Wolfman currently in production.”

Brett Ratner’s previous directorial works include Rush Hour 2 and 3, X-Men: The Last Stand, and the pilot episode of Prison Break. I could live without his X-Men adaptation, and while his style worked for Rush Hour, I can’t picture Jackie Chan as Kratos.

Like it or not, based on the facts above, it appears that Universal and Ratner are attached to any hopes of a God of War film.

   This is crap. Ratner has made all these lame ass movies and now he’s going to direct GOD OF WAR? Yeah right, is Chris Tucker going to be Kratos’ sidekick? This is going to flop just like x-men 3. I’m so sad now. :(

   Am I the only person alive who sees the potential of having David Draiman from Disturbed play Kratos in the God of War movie??
