	Movies - Rush Hour 3

Rush Hour 3 is the third installment in the action comedy film series starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, that began with Rush Hour (1998) and continued with Rush Hour 2
(2001). It is in pre-production as of July 2005. The film has been recently delayed and was pushed back to 2006. In November 2005 New Line Cinema was able to sign both actors. Producers aim to keep the budget under US$120 million. The sequel will be set starting in New York City, where Rush Hour 2 left off, then into an undecided country in Africa, rumors that Jackie Chan prefers it to be in Egypt, yet Chris Tucker, South Africa. .

Variety reported in May 2005 that the film was going ahead on a budget of around US$100 million as soon as Chris Tucker signed a two-picture, $40 million contract with New Line Cinema for Rush Hour 3 and an unrelated film, but Jackie Chan said in July that Rush Hour 3 is not moving forward because his co-star of the first two films, Chris Tucker, is making too many demands. Jackie Chan said that Tucker was making too many demands for more power such as final cut approval, the final look at the movie, an increased salary, and so on. Chan called Tucker a "good friend" but questioned whether he had the stature to be so demanding. "He's still a new actor", Chan added. "How many movies has he made? Two movies have already made him very famous and made him a lot of money." "He needs to learn slowly," said Jackie Chan..

The future of the project had been cast into doubt the previous month when it was announced that Brett Ratner, who directed the first two films, had signed on to direct X-Men 3. However, Ratner has confirmed that he will do Rush Hour 3, right after X-Men 3. .
