Producer Arthur Sarkissian has confirmed to Crave Online that Rush Hour 4 is in the works.
The buddy cop franchise began in 1998 and has seen its stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker return up to its last film, Rush Hour 3, back in 2007.
Despite critical backlash Sarkissian is determined to return the series to its former glory, saying “I’m trying to do it closer to how I did Rush Hour 1, more down to earth, more gritty … It’s not a matter of just bringing them back to do another segment of that or a sequel to it by putting them in another city and having them bicker. I don’t want that. I want something new.”
The film is still in the early stages, with no screenwriter attached and Chan and Tucker only said to be interested in returning. On whether directed Brett Ratner would return Sarkissian said, “If he wants to do it he’s more than welcome to do it but he’s got to do it in the right way.”
