'Rush Hour' finally renews upon special request after decade hiatus
Fans sent into a frenzy with new 'Rush Hour' movie announcement
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker rocked the entertainment industry with three Rush Hour movies, leaving fans asking for more.
Although Paramount did not initially think of bringing the duo back, the boys are apparently all set to share the screen once more upon a special request.
According to Semafor, President Donald Trump is attempting to “revive the franchise” with Brett Ratner back in the director’s seat for the alleged project.
In 2017, Brett faced several sexual assault allegations levelled against which affected the production of sequel. Elliot Page and five other women raised complaints against the director.
It is to be noted that the 56-year-old is currently working on “Melania” documentary, releasing in January 2026.
While many fans eagerly wait for the new instalment, several others raised questions if the revival would be able to carry on the legacy of its predecessors.
One of the X users noted that “it will be sad because it won’t have the action of the first two,” repeating the same “plot” about evil tech and AI.
Was Rush Hour 3 a hit?
This will come after over a decade hiatus as the third part released on August 10, 2007; however, it was not a box office hit, collecting $258 million globally against a budget of $140 million.
