Heidi Klum Still Likes That Old Time Rock n' Roll

Brett Ratner strikes again! The director of the Rush Hour trilogy has a well-known love for Guitar Hero, and during the season finale of American Idol this past May, two Ratner-directed commercials debuted, featuring finalists Davids Cook and Archuleta reenacting the famous "Old Time Rock n' Roll" scene from Risky Business.

This week during Monday Night Football, Ratner used that same approach again, only this time, he chose a better fit for the target audience of the show and the game. Heidi Klum strutted her stuff in a pair of commercials for Guitar Hero, but with a variation on the theme. In the commercial that aired first, Klum mimicked the moves of Tom Cruise in her long-sleeve button down shirt. In the second, which aired in the second half of the game - presumably when kids would have been asleep or something - off came the shirt.

See if you can spot the difference:

This is evidence of a few things: The process of childbirth somehow agrees with Heidi Klum, that movie scene is one of the most iconic of the past 30 years, and Brett Ratner should only make commercials from now on, especially if they're knock-offs of famous movies.

I seem to remember the Big Picture reporting that Brett Ratner was set to direct a Guitar Hero movie...is this that??? Or, is this a trailer for said forthcoming movie? Also, can we assume that there is a third, even more revealing version of this clip to be released at a future date?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Activision doesn't want to do a movie. That was apparently just Ratner's dream project or something.

GOOF ALERT!!!!!!!

She jumps on the couch and the pillow falls off and then when we see the camera pull back seconds later the pillow is back where it was before falling. HAHAHA. Ratner wants to make a whole movie of this and he can't even control one goof in a 30 second spot.
