Not that we didn't love his appearance on On the Lot or his Rush Hour films, because we totally did and do, but Brett Ratner really isn't our favorite working director. Top five? Sure. Let's see, there's Scorsese, Mann, Fincher, Spielberg and...Ratner. That works. And we couldn't be more excited about his latest project, a biopic of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner called...Playboy. Apparently, super producer Brian Grazer secured the rights to Hef's life story years ago and originally intended to film it as a musical. No dice. Then Oliver Stone took a couple stabs at a screenplay. Didn't take.
No problem. Ratner and writer John Hoffman have come up with a version of his life that Hef approved and the project should begin shooting soon. We hope, when the time comes for Hollywood to make our movie, that we get script approval.
