Sometimes, Christmas comes early. Sometimes, your prayers are answered. And sometimes, the good guys win. Stop rubbing that rabbit’s foot as your luck finally turned. No, Uwe Boll didn’t lose his Director’s Guild membership, but Worstpreviews is reporting via Production Weekly that Brett Ratner, acclaimed (ahem) director behind the Rush Hour series and X-Men hater (judging from X-Men:The Last Stand, he clearly doesn’t like them) has left the upcoming God of War movie:
“Over at Universal it looks like Brett Ratner has shelved ‘God Of War,’ and is moving forward on ‘Trump Heist’ with Eddie Murphy and Chris Tucker.“
I don’t think Kratos himself could have withstood that disaster. Now that Ratner has left to further drop Eddie Murphy and Chris Tucker into the Realm of Irrelevance, who would you like to step in an take over? It’s a long shot, but Zack Snyder of 300 fame and the upcoming Watchmen would rock this world. Who’s your dream director?

Zack Snyder would definitely be the man for the job.
…But part of me wants to see how much Uwe Boll would cock it all up.
He would probably cast Vin Diesel and have himself play Ares and beat Kratos at the end.
I used to like Bret (I’m a HUGE Rush Hour fan) but Rush Hour 3 and X-Men 3 (a common link in numbers? X3, RH3, GoW3?) were sub par – truely awful. Like Cossack said though, seeing how much Uwe would fuck it up is strangely interesting…
Uwe Boll ruled the Postal movie. But those are the types of things he should stick to: xD. Never played God of War so dont know who would snipe the movie.
George Lucas or Steven Spielberg just to see how fucked up that would be!
Tyler Perry? anyone? Tyler Perry? God just the thought of that makes me want to throw up. As for director I dont know, I like Guillermo del Toro but he looks busy lol. Jon Favreau has only really touched action with Iron Man but I say give him a chance to prove he could pull off badass God of War style action. Pierre Morel, Timur Bekmambetov, Robert Rodriguez… all worthy choices. Im sure it wont be easy to capture the God of War feel lol.
