MGM’s RoboCop film announcement reveals God of War movie director

Yeah, you read that right. MGM is already working on a new RoboCop film. While that’s already big news, their accompanying announcement also let slip with some additional details for the upcoming God of War film. Find out who will be taking the helm by reading the full article.

It appears we’ve run into more details for the upcoming God of War movie under Universal Studios. The rather unlikely source of this info is a recent MGM press wire announcing the studio’s plans to release a new RoboCop movie this 2010, to be written by David Self.

While that’s already pretty big news in itself (though not gaming-related), here was the segment of MGM’s PR that caught our attention:

David Self’s credits include 13 Days and Road To Perdition. He wrote God of War for Universal, to which Brett Ratner is attached to direct, and was a writer on Universal’s Wolfman currently in production. He is represented by UTA and attorney Karl Austen.

Well, it looks like we now know which “huge-name director” Jaffe had in mind for Kratos‘ debut on the silver screen. To his credit, Bretner is best know for directing films like Red Dragon, Rush Hour 2 and 3, and X-Man: The Last Stand. That’s all the details we have for the moment, though we’ll get back to you if we run into any related updates.
