Brett Ratner, the guy who directed X-Men 3: The Last Stand mentioned last year on August 29th that he wanted to make a Guitar Hero movie and still wants to make one. He hasn't gotten Activision's permission to make one yet but he's trying.

uuuuuummm?
so the villian would be, like, a machine gone wacko that makes people play till their fingerse drop off and they die of blood loss?
and the hero would have to be this ultimate player, who, by the power of the magic stamina wrist and headband combination, and only he can defeat the Guitar Hero Machine?!

At least Ratner's doing shitty movies based on shitty ideas. Imagine if he got his hands on a really good script or something, I'd be much more pissed off. So I say let him do Guitar Hero, let him do these shit projects because then I don't have to worry about him fvcking up something that I care about.
You have a point there. I'd be pissed if he was going to do a Silent Hill or Resident evil movie (its too late for Resident Evil... a shitty director already got that).
Although, you can tell this dude is just doing it for the money. A movie about a kid from a small town with big dreams who enters a competition to achieve said dream? There are already 50,000 movies that fit that description. This dude is just sticking the title "Guitar Hero" on it because he knows how famous its gotten and a lot of people will see the movie just because it has those two words on it.
