Jackie Chan confirms that he is currently in talks to make Rush Hour 4, 15 years after the most recent film in the action comedy franchise.
Per Deadline, Chan spoke onstage today at the Red Sea Film Festival and revealed some huge insights into the future of the Rush Hour franchise. He admitted that "we’re talking about part 4 right now," giving much more concrete credence to those swirling rumors. He also revealed that after his appearance at the festival he was going to meet with the director to talk over the script, though he neglected to reveal what director is currently attached to the project or whether the screenplay is actually completed or still being developed with an as-yet unknown screenwriter.
The fact that the iconic star, who was recently awarded an honorary Oscar for his achievements throughout his career, is directly involved in the early development of Rush Hour 4 is a good sign that things are moving forward. For one thing, he and Tucker co-starred in the original 1998 Rush Hour, going on to reprise their roles in both sequels. Chan played Royal Hong Kong Police Force Detective Inspector Lee, who is partnered with LAPD's disgraced Detective James Carter (Tucker) when he is sent to Los Angeles to solve the kidnapping of the consul's daughter.
He might be one part of an iconic buddy duo, but Chan's influence on the franchise goes further than just being in the films. For instance, he also worked behind the camera in the sequel, serving as the action director for 2001's Rush Hour 2. However, his influence over the films in the Rush Hour franchise extends even beyond that.
The particular blend of action-comedy that the Rush Hour films traffic in wouldn't exist without the hard work that Chan put in throughout his career since its very beginning in Hong Kong in the 1970s. He committed himself to developing his inimitable blend of slapstick and martial arts in iconic films like 1978's Drunken Master and 1985's Police Story, an approach to filmmaking that would later bleed over into his American works like 2002's The Tuxedo and 2010's The Spy Next Door. The fact that he is so involved in Rush Hour 4 hopefully means that, should the film go full steam ahead, it will be able to live up to the previous Rush Hour films thanks to his guidance.poopdogg, Wreckless, Ordinary Joel and 1 other person like this.(This ad goes away when signing up)
