Rush Hour 3 Looks Dead

ChrisTucker.jpgIt seemed like everything was in place for a Rush Hour 3. I was even kinda excited about it since I thought Rush Hour 2 was pretty funny. But apparently Chris Tucker has walked out of the project because… well… no one really knows why. Tucker is an overrated performer who just walked away from the one project that was ready to overpay him. Stupid move.

The great folks over at Moviehole report the following:

Chris Tucker, who the trades reported would be most likely signing on for “Rush Hour 3”, has nixed the idea of a second sequel to the action-comedy hit. No word on what will happen to the film now, but as Jackie Chan’s about as excited to return to Hollywood as a kid is to school, we’re guessing it’s as dead as restaurant snail.

Yeah, it’s dead. Maybe it’s for the best. Still… Rush Hour 2 was the one North American Jackie Chan film I actually liked. Too bad.

  1. he is gone to get some moochoo. let him be. he is gonna hit the stage like never before. this guy got some ideas he would like to exhibit.

    hey tucker, that does not mean u push it too hard. i desperately waiting for this movie man. H—-U—U—U_—-RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  2. Chris Tucker is a stupid guy. he walked away from 20 million, and probably the last chance he’ll get 20 million for a movie ever. His career is gonna die after all this trouble he’s caused. He’s not even a big name actor, No one actually even says they look forward to that next Chris Tucker movie. Your ego got much too large, chris. If you did that Rush Hour 3, your life would’ve been set. If you never ever have another hit movie after that or even if RH3 would’ve bombed in the box office, you wouldn’t need to work after that. well. unless u go blow it all away, then you might need to work.

    This is like Juliana Marguilies walking away from E.R. even when they offered her 20+ million per season. Stupid stupid move.

  3. Yeh maybe Chris Tucker is a bit crazy for all the demands he is making for the third installment, but you cant just kill off detective carter, he made both Rush Hours along with Jackie Chan, they were equaly impressive. No American actor could match him, Tucker and Chan work well together…… Without Chris Tucker there wouldnt have been a Rush Hour in the first place, so just cut him some slack….give him time to decide whether to remake a movie that he practically made his own…..not overated actor Chris Rock…underated stand up comdedian Chris Tucker.

  4. Hey everybody dont trash on chris tucker… no one can take his place… definitly not rock… so dont ever say that!!! If he’s going through somethangs let him.. he’s on vacation man… he wants some moochoo…. leave him alone… he’ll end up doing it when he’s ready!

  5. Chris Tucker will probaly come to his senses and return. I want to see Rush Hour 3. So if he don’t, kill Dectective Carter (Chris Tucker) in the beginning, and give Lee (Jackie Chan) a new partner.
    Base the story on Carter’s death. Then put Rush Hour to a close. Making it a Trilogy.

    R.I.P. Detective James Carter

  6. Does Chris Tucker do any other movies except for Rush Hour? No wonder he wants $20 Mill…….its gotta last till the next Brett Ratner Film…..
