Other directors with music video pedigress that are currently showing on the big screen:
Brett Ratner's Tower Heist starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. Although this past week seems to have ensured he's remembered as the guy who was gonna produce the Oscars, Ratner made his name as a top video director working extensively with Mariah Carey, plus lots of early rap work for everyone from Wu-Tang Clan to LL Cool J.
