[edit] Early lifeBrett Ratner was born in Miami Beach to Marcia Presman, who was the 16-year-old daughter of Fanita and Mario Presman, Eastern European Jews who lived in Cuba before moving to Florida in the 1960s.[1] His father was Ronny Ratner, the 25-year-old son of a wealthy Miami businessman. Ratner's parents married when he was in his senior year of high school, and his father died in 2006.[2] Ratner attended high school in Israel[3] and is a 1990 graduate of the New York University.[4] Rush Hour 3 has a scene where a girl takes off a wig and Chris Tucker accuses her of being a man. Ratner said to the Advocate magazine that this scene was based on an event from his own life. Ratner said, "That's from my personal experience. My first blow job was from a man, but I didn't know it was a man. That's where that comes from. It's based on personal experience. It happens to a lot of people." When the Advocate asked if that was common knowledge, Ratner replied, "That specific idea was because it's happened to me. It's happened to my friends. We'll get together with a girl, and it'll turn out to be a guy. The reaction is “Oh, shit!” if you're not gay, which is funny, I think."[5] [edit] Film careerRatner directed several music videos before reaching commercial success with the action-comedy Rush Hour (1998), starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, both of whom reunited with Ratner for two sequels, Rush Hour 2 (2001) and Rush Hour 3 (2007). Ratner was under consideration to direct X-Men (2000) and Superman Returns (2006), although both were eventually directed by Bryan Singer. After Singer left the X-Men franchise to direct Superman Returns, Ratner became director of X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). X3 was the poorest reviewed chapter in the franchise, clocking in at 51% among top critics on Rotten Tomatoes.[6] Brett Ratner's movies in general were panned by film critics. As of 2008, movies helmed by Ratner average a paltry 15% on Rotten Tomatoes.[7] On April 25, 2007, Fox Broadcasting announced that he, Carrie Fisher, Garry Marshall, and Jon Avnet would be the judges for the network's filmmaking-competition reality TV series, On the Lot, which premiered to low ratings in May 2007. In May 2008, it was announced that Ratner would be directing the upcoming long in-development Beverly Hills Cop IV.[8] [edit] Screen appearancesRatner was seen on MTV series Punk'd when Hugh Jackman, who portrays Wolverine in the X-Men films, was the subject of a practical joke that made it appear Ratner's $3.6 million home in Beverly Hills was destroyed by a BBQ grill explosion.
