What do Peter Farrelly and Brett Ratner have in common besides the fact that their both directors? On the surface not much, but the duo along with Bob Odenkirk and actress Elizabeth Banks will helm, Untitled Comedy. Yes, that’s the name of the movie and it’s an ensemble piece that will feature every actor under the sun.
According to the New York Post, Brett Ratner would like to make a sequel to Marina Zenovich’s documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired. The director known for movies like Rush Hour 3, X-Men: The Last Stand and Red Dragon was talking about the project with Movie Geeks United before Polanski was arrested in Switzerland, giving the announcement incredibly awkward timing.
Every now and again, established film directors like to helm commercials for major companies and their products. In this case Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, X-Men: The Last Stand) moonlighted from his daily routine to direct Hugh Hefner in one of the many popular ads for the video game, Guitar Hero 5.
Some B-roll footage has popped up online showing Ratner behind the scenes, and directing like only he can…

Each film has a different director, different actors, but they all come together in one way; they are about finding love in New York.
The film includes a series of short films directed by Jian Wen, Mira Nair, Brett Ratner, Allen Hughes, Shekhar Khapur, Natalie Portman, Fatih Akin, Joshua Marston and Randy Balsmyer. The film’s ensemble cast includes actors from all different genres including: Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha, Andy Garcia, Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Natalie Portman, Irrfan Khan, Emilie Ohana, Orlando Bloom, Christina Ricci, Maggie Q, Ethan Hawke, Anton Yelchin, James Caan, Olivia Thilrlby, Blake Lively, Drea de Matteo, Julie Christie, John Hurt, Shia LaBeouf, Ugur Yucel, Taylor Geare, Carlos Acosta, Jacinda Barrett, Shu Qi, Burt Young, Chris Cooper, Robin Wright Penn, Eva Ammuri, Eli Wallach and Cloris Leachman.

I just saw this video on Cinematical and had to show it to you guys. I have no clue why Michael Jackson would be hanging out with Brett Ratner, seeing as they never worked together, but apparently they were buddies! What’s even weirder than the couple dancing in a car (well MJ dancing, Ratner swaying) is the the voice-over added by Jackson which seems like this was meant to be added to something else. Was this a special feature on something?

The first thing on Ratner’s agenda is to get rid of any speculation regarding the film’s title. He said, “We’re not going to call it ‘4,’ it will be a new ‘Beverly Hills Cop.” He’s also going for stronger content as well, so we won’t being seeing a PG-13 rating this time around.

The 80’s are everywhere, clothes, music, and even film. What’s next for the comeback of the new 80’s? Beverly Hills Cop 4, because three just isn’t enough! Everything seemed good to go. The fourth film has been penned by the duo behind Wanted and 3:10 to Yuma, Michael Brandt and Derek Haas. The film is set to be directed by Brett Ratner who has said:
“10-year-old kids, 12-year-old kids don’t really know the old ‘Beverly Hills Cop.’ So it’s an opportunity to make it new for kids, the same way it felt for me watching ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ when I was a kid, that’s what I want to do for kids today.” [MTV]
The film will be produced by Lorenzo DiBonaventura (AKA One of the other Transformers Producers). They were hoping for a 2010 release, but not everything is falling into place.
