‘We’re Talking About Rush Hour 4,’ Jackie Chan Says At Red Sea Film Festival

According to Variety, the legendary martial arts star made the announcement at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, while talking about his upcoming projects and his 60-year film career.

Speaking about the success of the original film, which he initially thought would be a flop, Chan shared, “I got a phone call. Brett Ratner and Chris Tucker are calling me from New York. They are crazy. We were $70 million in the first weekend. For me, I don’t have a count of what 70 million is. I don’t know the fund. I just know it’s sure to be a hit. And then they made part 2 and part 3.”

“We’re talking about ‘Rush Hour 4’ right now,” he said at the festival, adding that he was due to meet with the film’s director in the evening to discuss the script. Although he did not name the director for the fourth installment, director Brett Ratner directed all three previous installments.

The director in question was embroiled in a sexual harassment and misconduct case in November 2017. Since then, Ratner has not worked on any film. Jackie Chan starred in the blockbuster franchise from 1998 to 2007 alongside comedian and actor Chris Tucker.

The buddy movie comedy series centers around “a Hong Kong detective who teams up with an honest LAPD cop to crack an international crime case. The two men couldn’t be more different and drive each other crazy at every turn, but eventually they form a close bond.”
