Brett Ratner Boards ‘FarmVille’ Animated Series
Brett Ratner has joined with Six Eleven Media to produce a TV version of the successful online game FarmVille. The Hercules director and the Canadian production company aim to make a half hour animated series out of the farming simulation social networking game. “FarmVille is one of the most exciting brands out there today and its cross-platform opportunities are endless. I am thrilled to be expanding the brand with existing fans and also
engaging a whole new audience,” said Ratner in a statement Thursday. No network is attached currently to the proposed FarmVille series. Ratner will serve as executive producer with Six Eleven Media’s Kirk Schenck & Charles Bishop and Independent producer Nina Gelb. FarmVille was launched in 2009 by game maker Zynga and has become one of the most popular games on Facebook and MSN Games. A FarmVille 2 sequel was released last Fall. Ratner’s upcoming Hercules, with Dwayne Johnson in the title role, is set to be released by Paramount on August 8, 2014.

Ratner & Farmville? No wonder my friends are having difficult times finding funding for their films, because a crap director is handed a crap game.
Man, we are a stupid race, chasing bits of green paper so we can buy crap we don’t need all to impress our friends.
OK Hollywood…if all the creativity has been used up and we’re basing shows on Farmville, you might as well pack up and go home. Turn the lights off on your way out of town please.
