Brett Ratner Wants to Make Guitar Hero Movie About Small Town Kid … Blah Blah Blah

In an interview with MTV News, director Brett Ratner, expressed his interest in making a film based on Activision’s extremely successful Guitar Hero franchise.

“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.”

“It could be about a kid from a small town who dreams of being a rock star and he wins the Guitar Hero competition … One of those dreams-[come-true] kind of concepts.”

Shall I barf now or later? Do we really need another “dream come true” film, and how on earth is wanting to become a rock star and ending up holding a fucking plastic guitar a dream come true? That’s like a girl heading to Hollywood to become an actress and ending up a fluff girl on a porno set.

Afterthought: What do you think? Should Activision give him the green light on this? Maybe they should allow him to film two movies back to back — one for the full version, and then another based on a different kid from a small town who has a dream to play the harmonica. That kid can end up winning a Guitar Hero DS competition. Feel good story of the year material right there. I am holding back the tears.

    The Wizard, anyone? Super Mario World is way better than Guitar Hero, though.

    Also: if the movie was like that South Park episode, making a complete mockery of the genre, it could be good. Otherwise, CHEESE.

    I think Activision should kick him in the nuts…

    Don’t really care much for the “coming of age” films anymore. I also just don’t care too much for the idea of this movie. I’m all up for video game movies but this isn’t the right one to make.

    Instead of making a game about a nerdy kid trying to make it to the top on a plastic guitar. Why not do about one who tries to make it to the top on a real guitar. Claim it’s based on a true story and you will be bringing in the moola.

    It’s just too weird for me to comprehend.

    Also every gamer who saw the movie does like The Wizard but that doesn’t mean it didn’t have it’s flaws.

    Even if we don’t think they Activision should let him do this Activision might just let him to let the cash roll in. I personally can’t stand GH, I prefer a REAL guitar.
