Did everyone catch this on Dark Horizons last week? Sounds like Ratner cut his own throat.

Bond 20: Brett Ratner has spoken out to Zap2It and confirmed rumours that certain parties want him to helm the next entry in the franchise - "(Brosnan) called me and said I want you to direct the movie. He said he was a huge fan. Unfortunately, he has nothing to do with it. The studio (MGM) wants me, and Pierce Brosnan wants me, but the Broccoli's don't want me...But I begged them. I call them everyday and send them cookies. It's 'cause I'm American really, I'd be the only American director ever to direct a Bond. Also, I'm not 50 years old, and I have a mind of my own, and I'm a strong personality". Changes Ratner would like to make include making Bond's car back to the old classic Aston Martin. Thanks to 'Brandon'.

Yup sure did Zencat. But never fear, I'm working on the article now. It should hopefully be one of the better ones :)
