Ratner Talks BEVERLY HILLS COP 4 Rating & Timeframe!! But How Many $$$s Are Needed To Drag Eddie Back??


Merrick here...


Early last month, Brett Ratner did an interview with MTV regarding BEVERLY HILLS COP 4.

A particular quote in the interview lead many to the logical conclusion that the new BHC project would have a considerably softer tone/rating than its predecessors.

When asked what is biggest challenge would be, Ratner seemed to indicate that his new film would be geared towards a very PG audience.

Quint briefly chats Bad Lieutenants, New Orleans and iguanas with the legendary Werner Herzog!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with my chat with the legendary director Mr. Werner Herzog. You’ve probably noticed my enthusiasm for his film BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS which began at Telluride. I would call it his new film, but the dude has another film in the can already (MY SON, MY SON WHAT HAVE YE DONE? which also showed at Telluride).

What would a next gen Back to the Future video game look like?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. You might call this a bit of non-news... and you might be right. But you'd be dead wrong if you don't think the below isn't worth posting.

What I've embedded is a mod which originated here and just like the unofficial Ghostbusters Mod that was linked and forwarded across the internet a few years ago I'd be willing to bet that this amazing piece of work kick-starts a real next-gen console Back to the Future game.
