Brett Ratner (born March 28, 1969)[1] is an American film director and producer. He directed the Rush Hour film series, The Family Man, Red Dragon, X-Men: The Last Stand, Tower Heist, and Hercules. He is a producer of several films, including the Horrible Bosses series, as well as executive producer on other projects, including the films The Revenant and War Dogs[2][3][4] and the television series Prison Break.
Ratner got his start directing with music videos in the 1990s,[1] and directed his first motion picture, Money Talks, in 1997.[5] Overall, the films Ratner has directed have earned over $2 billion at the global box office.[1] Ratner is the co-founder of RatPac Entertainment, a film production company. Ratner led RatPac's partnership with Dune Entertainment in September 2013 for a co-producing deal with Warner Bros. that included 75 films.[6] RatPac Entertainment has co-financed 81 theatrically released motion pictures exceeding $17 billion in worldwide box office receipts. RatPac's co-financed films have been nominated for 59 Academy Awards, 25 Golden Globes and 43 BAFTAs and have won 25 Academy Awards, 8 Golden Globes and 24 BAFTAs. In January 2017, Ratner received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to the motion picture industry, located at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard.[7][8]
In 2017, numerous women in Hollywood came forward with allegations of misconduct against Ratner.[9] This resulted in his business deals and prospective film projects getting canceled or scrapped, and he hasn't actively worked in Hollywood since 2018.
