"Rush Hour" director Brett Ratner has been denied the chance to direct a film based on the "Guitar Hero" video game series.
Ratner tells Entertainment Weekly that "I'd really like to do it, but they're not letting me... I expressed my interest, but because it's such a success, it's like now there's no reason to make a movie about it.... The game is wish-fulfilling, everyone can be a rock star... I might prevail... I usually do."
Ratner's schedule remains busy however with a fourth "Beverly Hills Cop" and an adaptation of the video game "God of War".
