MovieLine caught up with director Brett Ratner to find out about the many projects he has listed on IMDB, including "Conan" and "Beverly Hills Cop 4."
* Blue Blood: "That's a pilot I shot for NBC; it's not going to air."
* Carnavale 3-D: "I don't know why that's on my IMDB. That was a documentary I was offered by Quincy Jones — a documentary on Brazilian music. Why is that on there? That was years ago. I don't know if he ended up doing it or not."
* Mr. S: My Life With Frank Sinatra: "That's a book I'm developing. We're still working on the script. You know, when the studio buys the property and it gets announced, all of the sudden it's like, 'They're making the movie!'"
* Conan: "Yes. That's something I'm actively attached to. We're just budgeting the script and trying to figure out when's a good time and where to shoot it. It's kind of a global landscape."
* Guitar Hero: The Movie: "That was just a commercial I directed. I did all the commercials with Kobe, A-Rod, Heidi Klum. And then some reporter from MTV News says, 'Would you turn Guitar Hero into a movie?' And I said I would, but only if the game was defunct. And then the quote was, 'Brett Ratner wants Guitar Hero to fail.' I was never interested in turning it into a movie. I was just saying, why would they jeopardize a billion-dollar franchise with a movie? It wouldn't make sense."
* Untitled Sketch Comedy Film with Todd Phillips and Mike Judge: "Yes. I'm gonna do one of those. I also did 'New York, I Love You'; I love doing shorts. So I'm doing one in the sketch film."
* Beverly Hills Cop 4: "Yes. I'm developing the script. It's a hard R."
* Trump Heist: "Yes. That's the script that's closest to getting made, in my opinion. Ted Griffin, who wrote 'Ocean's Eleven' for me when I was attached, is writing it now. I just hired him to come in and write 'Trump Heist,' which is one of my favorite projects."
Ratner added that he has no idea which film he will end up making first, but it will likely be "Trump Heist." He will pitch the movies and then wait to see which one gets greenlit.
