In a short interview with Vulture in 2011, Ratner stated that the cost of making a follow-up to X-Men: The Last Stand would have cost more than X-Men: First Class and "that's why another Rush Hour 4 probably won't get made, either: It'd be too much to pay me, Chris, and Jackie to come back." In July 2009, in an interview, Ratner stated that he "has been in contact with a long list of stars including Danny DeVito and Jet Li for possible roles in a potential Rush Hour 4", but stressed "nothing's been okayed yet". It has been reported that the fourth film may be set in Moscow. Ratner and Nathanson are exploring many concepts, including the use of the motion capture technique for the possible sequel and various different film projects with Chan and Tucker. In the DVD audio commentary for Rush Hour 3, Brett Ratner joked that the fourth Rush Hour film could be released in 2012. Future īecause of the films' collective box-office success, director Brett Ratner and writer Jeff Nathanson are considering the production of a fourth installment. Additionally, the film was not screened in Chinese theaters in 2007 to make way for a larger variety of foreign films, according to a business representative (The quota for imported films is 20 each year). This film has received an M rating by the Office of Film and Literature Classification (Australia) and a PG-13 rating by the MPAA for "sequences of action violence, sexual content, nudity and language". Tzi Ma reprises his role as Ambassador Han, Lee's boss and friend who appeared in the first installment. Academy Award-winning film director Roman Polanski co-stars as a French police official involved in Lee and Carter's (Chan and Tucker's characters) case. The film, set in Paris and Los Angeles, was first released on August 10, 2007, and grossed $256,585,882 worldwide. Rush Hour 3 was officially announced on May 7, 2006, and filming began on July 4, 2006. New Line Cinema was confident in Ratner's talents, having done Money Talks with him, so they made a hard commitment to a budget and start date for the film. Several studios were interested in acquiring the project. After attaching director Ratner and developing the project for more than a year with producers including Sarkissian and Roger Birnbaum, Disney Studios Chief Joe Roth put the project into turnaround, citing concerns about the $34-million budget, and Chan's appeal to American audiences at the time. The screenplay was sold by LaManna's William Morris agent Alan Gasmer to Hollywood Pictures, a division of the Walt Disney Company, with Arthur Sarkissian attached as producer. Rush Hour began as a spec script written in 1995 by screenwriter/novelist Ross LaManna. For example, the scene where Inspector Lee accidentally grabs Detective Johnson's ( Elizabeth Peña) breasts is a reference to Jackie Chan's film Mr. Director Brett Ratner, a big fan of Jackie Chan's Hong Kong movies, felt that American audiences would not be familiar with the jokes in Jackie's other movies, and deliberately re-used some of his gags. Chris Tucker was finally chosen for the part. Martin Lawrence was originally considered for the role of James Carter. Rush Hour was released on September 18, 1998, grossing $245,300,000 worldwide.
