Chris Tucker, Jackie Chan Return For 'Rush Hour 3'

[Monday, November 21st, 2005]
Chris Tucker, Jackie Chan and director Brett Ratner are to return for the sequel Rush Hour 3, according to Variety.

Tucker will earn $20 million against 20% of gross, and his deal comes with a second-picture commitment for the same salary on a film to be determined later. Tucker has given up script approval as long as the final draft matches what Nathanson pitched.

Chan will get around $15 million against 15% of gross, but he will also own the film's distribution rights in China and Hong Kong. Ratner will get a spike on the upfront part of the $5 million-against-5% gross deal he had on "Rush Hour 2."

The film will begin shooting next summer in the U.S. and Paris and anchor the studio's summer 2007 schedule.
