Carlos Coto, co-exec producer of "24," has teamed with Brett Ratner on an hourlong action comedy project called "Wild Boys" for Fox, reports Variety. Depending on his schedule, Ratner will direct the pilot for the series about ex-soldiers turned suburban dads turned mercenaries.

Plot Concept: The project revolves around three dads who are working as contractors in the Washington, D.C., suburbs -- until the economic downturn puts them out of work. The Iraq war vets decide to get back in touch with their previous lives and sell themselves as guns for hire. The lead characters must balance their domestic chores while embarking on dangerous assignments.

Yes!! Keep doing other shit Ratner, stay away from God of War!!

Oh good God. lol That’s just what I was thinking reading the article Flint, except for the my clamoring for it part you ass :p ‘Bout half way thru the article I just started injecting “and if you can find them”.

Singleton’s got my back on The A-Team though (Cheadle, John. Cheadle) so I’m with hanso, let Ratner piss some time away with this so’s someone with some true skills can bring us GOW. The concept actually sounds more along the lines of something he could pull off. Unlike, oh, X3.

I’m still waiting on the $10 you owe me Ratner & the official apology, signed and framed. Ass.

The only thing Ratner needs to lead is a mission to the highest mountain peak he can find to jump off of. Ratner you suck!

Let the Ratner bashing begin...

Ratner blows like my drunk ass uncle at a sobriety checkpoint!

Ok, I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess some of you don't like Ratner.

So X3 wasn't that great of a movie, so the last Rush Hour was a joke, so . . .

Ok the dude is reaching rock bottom.

If this is comedy, I'll give it a go.

But for ol times X3 sake..
Yo Ratner.

Ratner gets a lot of shit. I don't think he deserves all of it.

Despite that, I will join in on the Ratner Shatathon.

Ratner, you suck fat pink babboon butt.
