Ok, I whatsoever have no problem with Brett Ratner especially since he produced and worked on my favorite movies [The Rush Hour trilogy] and tv shows [ like "Prison Break" Season 3 and upcoming Season 4]. No problem whatsoever. But the idea to come up with a Guitar Hero movie? It sounds ridiculous. Might as well make a 'Rock Band' movie as a spin off or sequel if thats the case. I just cannot imagine it coming out right. It'll be like making Dance Dance Revolution: The Movie. How would the game be an influence in the story?
It would look kinda lame if he ends up having the guitar hero buttons appear on screen during certain parts of the movie where the band has its concerts and shows. The only video game movie that actually pulled off stuff that the player controls in a game that is seen in a movie was those guys who worked on 'Doom'. Doing 'FPS style' camera movement is one thing but letting movie viewers see buttons on screen and rifts? Highly likely, useless, and lame. However if they dont do that then its a small chance that people might like the movie.
Now if he does a documentary of Guitar Hero players going to contests, tournaments, and such almost being like his own 'King of Kong' doc then it would be sweet. He could pull it off. I dont mind him going for it he just needs to be careful how he plans it out otherwise he'd lose ALOT of money since this would be targeted to the Gamer/ Rocker audience. Although, I do hope that since he's planning on doing this he at least beaten one of the games to come up with his own story. I also hope that harmonix and Sony will have their hands in this because it at least Sony could promote certain products [*cough*PS3*cough*] in the movie to obtain partial rights and credit. Anyways, Good luck to you Brett Ratner.
