I'm sure by now you've heard Brett Ratner will direct the fourth "Beverly Hills Cop" movie. Personally, I couldn't care less about this, but if you're excited about it, good for you.

We've heard plenty of rumors about the film's rating and acript over the past months, but now Ratner finally clarified some of the things that have been surfacing on the Web lately.

In an interview with MTV, Ratner promised the film will be rated R. “It’s a hard R,” he told MTV News.

He also said he's not going to call it "Beverly Hills Cop 4." Instead, he said it will be a "reinvention."

“I’m going to reintroduce it to a contemporary audience. I’m going to take the best of the first two films and put it into the new one,” he said.

To me, that sounds horrible. Furthermore, Ratner also said Eddie Murphy is a genuis and making this film is a dream for him. Well, I am glad someone out there is excited about it. Or are you thrilled as well?

Brett Ratner is set to direct the big-screen adaptation of Rob Liefeld's graphic novel "Youngblood" for Reliance Big Entertainment.

Variety reports Reliance will develop the project with Ratner's Rat Entertainment and Julia Roberts' Red Om Films.

The story follows a team of superheroes sanctioned and overseen by the U.S. government.

In an interview with the trade, Ratner said "Youngblood" is one of only a few great graphic novels with "tentpole potential."

Ratner most recently directed "Rush Hour 3." He has several projects coming up, including "New York, I Love You," "God of War" and "Beverly Hills Cop 4."

In related news, Reliance has also acquired the rights to "Fly Wires," a French graphic novel Sylvain may direct. The project will be renamed "Infinity."

It’s confirmed: Brett Ratner is set to develop a big-screen version of the ultra-popular video game “God of War.”

UGO recently ran into the director and asked him about his upcoming projects, which he said included “Playboy,” “Beverly Hills Cop 4” and “God of War.” Yes, it came right out of his mouth.

Here’s an official game description: Unleash the power of the Gods and embark on a merciless quest as Kratos, an ex-Spartan warrior driven to destroy Ares, the God of War.

Armed with lethal double chainblades, Kratos must carve through mythology’s darkest creatures— including Medusa, Cyclops, the Hydra and more, while solving intricate puzzles in breathtaking environments.

So, what do you think? Is it solid movie material? Is Ratner really the right guy for this? Feel free to share your comments below.

Over the past months, Brett Ratner has been talking about his wish to direct a movie based on the popular “Guitar Hero” video game, but according to EW, it’s not going to happen anytime soon.

Apparently, the game’s parent company Activision doesn’t dig Ratner’s plan. "I'd really like to do it, but they're not letting me," Ratner told EW. "I expressed my interest, but because it's such a success, it's like now there's no reason to make a movie about it."

Still, Ratner said he’s not giving up. In fact, he’s quite convinced he will be able to get the ball rolling on the project sometime in the near future.

As for the story behind the project, Ratner wants to follow a small-town kid who desires to become famous and gets a shot at it after winning a “Guitar Hero” competition.

At this stage, I’m not quite sure this is such a brilliant idea for a flick. Then again, I’m sure all the millions of fans of the game would love to rush to theaters to get some inspiration and fill Ratner’s pockets.
