God of War Movie Gets a Director

The God of War Movie has a director. According to a press release from MGM Brett Ratner who's latest debacle was Rush Hour 3.. and I do mean debacle.... will direct. The God of War game is awesome but I am worried about the film now. The story goes like this; Kratos is an ex-Spartan soldier possessed by Ares, the God of War.

Over time, he becomes the most vicious warrior in Ancient Greece to a point where he can't bare it anymore and sets out on a journey to kill Ares. However, the only way to destroy Ares is to find Pandora's Box, which is located in a temple that's perched upon a hill and guarded by traps, puzzles, enemies, etc. The story is told as a flashback of three weeks prior to where the opening movie starts and then sets the stage for the game...
