Director Brett Ratner’s surprising comeback: Milli Vanilli film planned

Brett Ratner is preparing for his comeback: The director intends to film the biopic he has been planning for years about Milli Vanilli. For the project are loud „Deadline“ Millennium Media and Ratner’s company RatPac Entertainment.

Sexual harassment allegation

The director, who shot blockbusters like “Rush Hour” or “X-Men – The Last Stand”, brought his last film to the cinema in 2014 with “Hercules”. In the following years he was increasingly active as a producer. In 2017, seven actresses accused him of sexually molesting them – including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge. Since then, his professional career has almost come to a standstill, because Warner Bros. also broke away from the director and producer. Ratner himself denied the allegations, but has since stayed largely out of the business.

Brett Ratner: First details on new projects

We only recently heard from Ratner again, because the director is said to have secured the rights to the founders of WallstreetBets in the course of the GameStop affair. The rights to the story of Fab Morvan have also been secured for the film about Milli Vanilli. The big hits “Girl You Know It’s True” and “Blame It On The Rain” should be heard in it. Jeff Nathanson is responsible for the script, who also worked with Ratner on “Rush Hour”.

The scandal about Milli Vanilli

The duo, produced by Frank Farian, had their greatest successes in the late eighties and early nineties. Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus had to surrender their Grammy, which they received in 1990 as “Best New Artist”, after it was discovered that they had never sung their songs themselves.
