It’s the moment that millions of Jackie Chan f⭕ans and all five of Chris Tucker’s followers have been waiting for: at lo💖ng last, Rush Hour 3 is a go.

It’s been years of negotiation and – in Tucker’s case – deliberation as the loud-mouthed coไmedy actor held up progress on the film with demands for script 💯approval. Then there’s been scheduling. Director Brett Ratner, who’s busy working on X-Men 3, has had a full slate, and Jackie Chan never stops acting/producing/directing.

But now they’ve all found time in their diaries, with the third instalment slated t꧙o shoot next year in America and Paris in preparation for a summer 2007 release.

New Line are 𒀰praying the budget doesn’t tip over $120 million – they’re already paying Tucker $20 million, Chan $15 million and Ratner $5 million to re🌞turn. Expect any supporting cast members to be paid in fruit pastilles. No details on a plot yet, although the cast and director have previously said that they were considering an African adventure.
