This is glorious news, ladies and germs. Ratner revealed that Activision basically told him to STFU. Well, that’s what I hope they told him, anyway.

“I’d really like to do it, but they’re not letting me,” he tells EW.com. “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.”

Leave it at that, Ratner. Seriously. Or we will all be forced to kick you in the nuts. Just because you’ve put the game into your stupid music videos (Mariah Carey and Miley Cyrus) does not give you the right to make a movie out of it. And yet he still persists.

“I might prevail,” he says. “I usually do.”

I’d rather have the gaffer from How I Met Your Mother direct the movie before you ever touch it.
