But Ratner is taking a crack at Reliance’s $30 million Hindi-language film KITES. He’ll be editing the existing version in the hopes that it will hold some level of appeal to American audiences.
The producers are praying to Vishnu that Ratner’s English variant will “tailor the tale of love and betrayal to international auds and help the pic find international distributors.”
Variety also points out that Ratner is developing an adaptation of Rob Liefeld’s YOUNGBLOOD comic for the deep-pocketed Reliance, who paid mid-six figures for the rights to property rather than leaving it in the 50-cent discount bin where it truly belongs.
