Time’s Up has condemned Brett Ratner, the director behind the “Rush Hour” film series and “X-Men: The Last Stand” who was accused of sexual misconduct in 2017, for his planned return to filmmaking.
He is set to helm a longtime passion project, a biopic about R&B duo Milli Vanilli, as reported by Deadline Friday. In November 2017, seven women, including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge, accused the filmmaker of sexual harassment and misconduct, leading Warner Bros to cut ties with Ratner.
