Guitar Hero movie?? WTH?
Posted in Blasphemy by S'Tsung on September 3rd, 2008 Brett Ratner an American film and music videos director announced his will and wish to create a Guitar Hero movie. You heard me well….a Guitar Hero MOVIE. The director is known for Red Dragon, Rush Hour trilogy (for the time being, fourth movie “coming soon”), X-Men: The Last Stand and Prison Break pilot. Do you think that this person can make a good movie about a video game that is taking over the world?
The movie is supposed to be about a boy who always wished to be a rock star till one day he wins a local tournament in Guitar Hero game. (ok, what else? I guess a romance with some nice guitar hero heroine or something - it’s Hollywood right?)
Anyway the wish is not the only thing he needs. Of course he needs the rights and thus a lot of money to do that. Do you think Activision will support this idea or they won’t? The other thing needed is time. Bratner will be working on four different movies and one of them is God of War. I name this movie because it’s also based on a video game. Might not be such a phenomenal game as GH is, but I have deep respect for the authors of the game and the game itself. I personally think no one can recreate this game (in a movie) so I wish he would stay away from it.
