Paramount picked up rights to the old Valiant comic title “Harbinger” as a vehicle for douchebag director Brett Ratner (X-Men: Last Stand, all those black guy/Chinaman movies). Ratner, who is overweight, untalented and difficult to look at, hopes to build a franchise from the bargain-basement comic pick-up, in the vein of X-Men. Difference being, X Men is one of the most popular comic titles in the world, whereas the last time someone gave a shit about “Harbinger,” the Spin Doctors were selling triple-platinum and Bill Clinton had yet to spray-paint his initials on some intern’s dress with his own make. So, you know, it’s going to be huge. Per trade publication Variety, film’s producer Alexandra Milchan had this to say.

“The movie is in the vein of a young ‘Blade Runner,’ as this 17-year- old gifted kid helps other kids tap into these parts of their brains.”

Yup, sounds just like Bladerunner alright. In Milchan’s defense, she could have said anything to Variety’s reporters. The woman is incomprehensible. She probably meant to say “I’m really craving a chicken salad sandwich right now; they make a good one at Jerry’s Deli” and Variety cooked up that Bladerunner babble because it was the only sense they could make of the “waa-waa-wee-waa-waa” sound coming out of Milchan’s mouth. Listening to her talk is like listening to a dog with a mouthful of marbles try to speak French.
