This picture gave my computer AIDS. :-(

Variety reports that Brett Ratner is attached to direct a film adaptation of “Youngblood”, not based on the awesome Patrick Swayze hockey movie of 1986, but rather a shitty comic book that sounds like a mashup of every other shitty comic book.  In essence, the perfect Brett Ratner project.

Youngblood was a high-profile superteam sanctioned and overseen by the United States Government. The members of Youngblood include Shaft, a former FBI agent and archer whose bow uses magnets to propel its arrow instead of a string; Badrock, a teenager transformed into a living block of stone; Vogue, a Russian fashion model with purple-and-chalk-white skin; and Chapel, a government assassin.

Wow, that sounds, um… awesome. Reached for comment, Ratner said, “I’m pretty excited about this, y’all, but don’t expect miracles.  I don’t know if I’ve got another X3 in me.”
