A Brief Reality Letter to Brett Ratner

September 25th 2008 03:54

Hurry! Go wash your face.

Brett Ratner is a hack. Seriously, he has to be one of the worst directors ever. And he is constantly on the airwaves talking about awesome projects he would like to ruin. Below is what Ratner had to say about Batman in an interview with MTV.

“As a kid, Batman was my thing,” Ratner said. “I’m a little jealous that I didn’t get to direct it, although Nolan did a great job. But there are so many characters in the Batman series, so many characters that I love, that the opportunities for spin-offs are endless.”

YDKS Movies has written a brief, but very appropriate letter to Mr. Ratner outlining just a few of the many reasons why he would be the worst choice ever to direct a Batman movie. Check it out, and let me know your thoughts on the billion dollar director.

Johnny Depp Wears a Hat, a Mask, and an Eye Patch!

September 25th 2008 03:37

At Disney's big keynote event at the Kodak Theater today in Hollywood, Johnny Depp was the golden boy.

In keeping with earlier rumors, Depp has been cast as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's upcoming 3-D live action/motion capture version of Alice in Wonderland. Burton's new film will begin principal photography in November and is slated for a March 5, 2010 release.

If that wasn't enough, Depp is going to be playing Tonto in the Jerry Bruckheimer produced big-screen adaptation of the Lone Ranger. Pirates of the Caribbean writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio have begun writing the script. No further dates have been established.

And speaking of Pirates of the Caribbean, it was also announced that Depp would be returning for a fourth movie.

How excited are you about another POTC? I know I am!
